life this past month...

Life has been crazy busy this past month. Shawn was busy with work getting ready for his deployment but luckily he was able to take 2 weeks off. He called home one day during a crazy day and told me to book a trip to Mexico. He didn't have to tell me twice! So we dropped the kids off in Oklahoma and flew down to Mexico for a few days to relax. And let me tell you...I didn't know how much I needed that along with some alone time with my husband until we were there. It was nice to go back to our "kid free" days...although I missed those kiddos to no end. (now, I don't know if the feeling was mutual though. After landing I had called my parents who went to visit the kids while we were gone and one of the first things my mother told me was "those kids didn't miss you at all.") Now, I know that is good that the kids did well without us but it still kind-of stabs you in the heart! Anyway, Shawn and I had a great trip and now the kiddos and I are making the best out the time we have while daddy is away.
