So this last week Braydon's parents took us on a cruise. It was the first time leaving Sawyer and let me tell you it was tough! We left at 4 in the morning and because of his horrible sleeping habits I couldn't even go in and kiss my baby goodbye. I cried of course, but was also very excited for a much needed break and my soul was craving some sunshine and R & R. It was great to reconnect with Braydon and actually hold hands and eat dinner together instead of one person eating while the other feeds Sawyer then switching off. It was great to sleep in, take naps, stay up late, and just act like teenagers again. It was like we were just dating again, but when we dated we didn't not have a child to fill up all our conversations... It was a lot of fun. I think Vacations are great for everyone. I think it makes us better parents having a break and seeing how much we miss our daily routine and our children. I think it just makes us better people. Being a parent is hard, exhausting, frustrating, but the most rewarding thing we have ever done. We just had a blast together and are thankful for the opportunity to go... now I guess it's off to Kentucky in 20 days. | | |
