This year, I am teaching in Greenville, the girls go to school in Quinlan, Dalton is still in Caddo and Chad started a new job at L-3. With this situation, I expected our schedules to be a challenge, but comparing school calendars and noticing that my Spring Break was different from the kids, wasn't what I had planned.
Every year we plan a week of fun as a family. Each year we take a vacation, pick a different place to go everyday, or plan a camping trip. So, since the beginning of the school year, I have been concerned about how we were going to handle this difference. Around Thanksgiving, we started talking about going snow skiing. I had decided just to take a few days off while the kids had Spring Break and go.
The closer we got and the more I started to try to plan everything, the more complicated it got. Caitlyn has track and then cheer tryouts and Dalton has a fishing tournament. Choosing dates became impossible. As we were talking about this scheduling problems, I jokingly popped off that Chad and I should just go by ourselves. Of course we threw that thought out immediately . We couldn't run off without the kids. The girls would be so mad and we can't be away from them that long.
Then, I kept thinking about this. *Scheduling for the whole family is impossible. *Dalton really doesn't want to go anyway. *It won't even cost us half as much. *We haven't gone anywhere by ourselves for more than a day or so. * We need some time for ourselves!!!
So.... IN 5 DAYS, CHAD AND I ARE HEADING TO THE MOUNTAINS!!
If you have been around me lately or if you have stuck around for the end of this post, you know that I am SUPER EXCITED!!! I can't wait and the closer it gets the more excited I get.
Here is a little preview of our 5 day, kid-free, ski vacation. Actual trip pictures will come when we get back.
