vacation summary:
leaving sucked. sucked bad. it was just really sad. i sobbed, totally sobbed. lump in my throat the whole way to the hotel. my darling (and very smart) husband had grabbed a bottle of wine from the house and brought it to the hotel saying, he "knew i would need it." and that i did.
traveling, the actual travel time, is not my favorite thing. but we arrived in jamaica safely and... it felt weird. really really weird. our children were in a different country! and that was overwhelming. it was hard to grasp that we were so far away, no one even knew we had children, etc. it was weird.
but i had j and good friends...and i got a drink...and another and another. and i totally was able to relax. i was able to enjoy myself, my amazing husband and my great friends. and i was able to appreciate the awesome surroundings...i don't exactly get a week on an island all the time. i'm just so happy i could enjoy it!
calling home was hard. it was so nice to hear that the girls were doing fabulous and my parents were loving every moment with them, BUT i wanted to be the one playing with them, bathing them, feeding them, etc. BUT it was OK! i would hang up and see my wonderful husband and the beautiful jamaica and drinks were plentiful...and there were no worries 'mon.
we had such a great time with our friends!! and such a great time together!!! i had no idea how much j and i needed this. i thought we got plenty of down time, plenty of alone time on the couch after the girls go to sleep. tunrs out, we really do need more. jamaica was exactly what we needed!
lots of fun pics are coming...whenever i get off my butt.

yay so happy u had fun. I was cracking up with the 'mon part!
You did it! You have inspired me to want to take a vacation with Nate, ALONE! It will have to wait about 9 months or so... but if you can do it, so can I!
So glad you had a fun time! We need that, too. Someday!
