Look at those two, only minutes married and anticipating a life ahead as husband and wife! The next day we would hop a plane, two starry eyed honeymooners who's only worries were...oh please, we had no worries!! We were the ones with the shiny rings and the stupid smiles that would only lead strangers to ONE conclusion.
Cut to today. Almost two years together, but somedays it already feels like a lifetime since so much CHANGE has occured. For me NEW everything and oh yeah a CHILD! That little life that pretty much turned my world upside down, altered my view of the world and introduced me to a love I never knew existed. Gone is the bright eyed honeymooner, here is the teary eyed new mommy leaving her baby behind for a whole week! I am definitely looking forward to a lot of things on this trip - taking long showers, reading (really!), sleeping til 7am, maybe even 8, enjoying several quiet dinners and moments with my husband and soaking up the Hawaiian sun and sunsets!
I realize many of you moms reading this can relate. Remember the first time you left your first baby for the first time!? So this is where I turn to all my blogging mommies, even if I know you personally or not. I would welcome your words of wisdom, encouragement and years of experience you have on me. Please comment, I would appreciate it!!

Remember.....you were your hubby's wife before you were Olivia's Mommy. One of the best gifts you can give Olivia is a godly, solid marriage. ENJOY your time away....I know it's hard to leave your sweet girl. I cry every time I'm away from my girls. That's okay---your hubby will understand. I'll be praying for you while you're away. ENJOY every minute!
Thanks for the encouragement and reminders Kelli!
I agree 100% with the comment above. Enjoy the time with your husband, you guys are going to have SO much fun! Shoot....I need a vacation, maybe it's - the more kids you have the easier it is to leave... but then you never get to because you have too many kids :)
Have fun Jenny! Think about how refreshed you'll be when you come home to your sweet baby girl!
have a wonderful time. I'm envious! You know, time away never is the same after kids because you miss them, but you come back a much better mommy and your marriaged renewed...worth every minute. Enjoy!
You can do it!! You should enjoy remembering the alone time with your hubby! I'm just saying this to assure you if/when I ever have to do the same :) Almost two years! Happy almost anniversary! Enjoy the week in paradise! Miss you!
