Tom and I got away this past weekend, just the two of us, to belatedly celebrate our 10th anniversary.
Here’s my summary of the weekend:
1. There is something that goes on in my new bag that turns my camera on repeatedly and runs out the battery. I love my new bag. I do not like this problem.
2. As a consequence of said camera incident, I only have these half-hearted camera phone photos to show for it.
3. I love my husband.
4. I love my kids.
5. Sometimes I need to be away from them to remember how much I love them.
6. It’s possible all Tom and I need on a getaway is a couch, tv, good book, bike, and solid internet connection. In hindsight, we could have done this more cheaply closer to home. But it WAS really nice to see the ocean.
7. We have some of the most amazing friends and family. There are not many people who would willingly take our three crazy children on for more than a few hours. Amazing, I tell you.
8. I only took photos on one day since the year began. ONE DAY.
9. I finally got the blog caught up. (January was kind of a freebie, considering that whole one day of taking pictures thing.) Being caught up is incredibly liberating. Telling myself that putting the camera down every now and then is as well.
10. “The Hunger Games” series has managed to reel in both Tom and myself and now we are fighting over who gets to read Book Three first.
Yep, I’m ending on a schmaltzy teen novel rather than tying up this whole rambling mess neatly. How’s that for shaking things up in the new year?
