Vacation Countdown!

We are on the short countdown to our first vacation in a VERY long time! Since we moved back to Washington, we have taken a day here or there but most of our vacation/leave time has been consumed by Isaac's accident and surgery. Finally we have accumulated enough to take some much needed R&R. Our family and my parents are headed to Lake Chelan for a week. Can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to this. Hoping it renews and refreshes my spirit and my love for Washington. We are bringing the boat, the tubes and the fishing poles! I promise there will be pictures!!

Good News about my mom!

Yesterday my mom was tested - first time since her breast cancer diagnosis back in September. All tests came out clear. She and I had dinner downtown last night and she ordered a celebratory dry martini. Her first drink since September!

So for another three months, we can breathe easily!

Restless

That's it - I confess. I'm completely restless! For six years, I couldn't wait to find a home base and settle down. Well here we are, here we have the capability of settling down, making the Pacific NW our permanent home but now all I can think about is the next adventure.

In a way I'm disappointed in myself that I just can't be happy where I am, but then I'm happy that I have dreams and set my sights on bigger things. I'm thankful my family (mom and dad) gave me both roots and wings. There is a huge world out there and I have loved experiencing so much of it so far. Just not sure I'm quite done yet.

I definitely miss the south - mostly the weather. We were so active there. And I do miss my stay-at-home mom roll just a little bit as well. Are there greener pastures elsewhere?

So stay tuned. I'm getting antsy.
