Our trip is winding down to an end. Some of you are thinking it is about time, but these 2 weeks went by way too fast, and I don't want to leave. It makes it hard to leave when my brother-in-laws told me I could stay as long as I wanted, they keep helping me find reasons to stay. But I don't think they intended for Wyatt and I to move in. So, with one last day on the pier, one last nap by the open window, one last delicious meal made by Peter, I reluctantly pack my bags. For the most part, many friends and family were supportive about my little adventure, traveling alone with a 2 year old. Others thought this was the dumbest idea in the world. Thank you to my supporters, and I don't care to those who didn't support me. I learned that I needed to go on this trip. By spending time by myself, I kind of learned what I wanted in my life. Time with my son, and to feel creative for myself, not others. I'm feeling courageous to stand up for that, and scared too. I may upset some people, and that will be hard for me. But the happiness of my little family and myself is what matters most to me.

Thought of you tonight during Pres. Uchdorf's talk about being creative. So glad you had such a great time on this trip!
Wait, people thought taking a vacation was stupid!?! I travel ALL THE TIME without Jeff and it's awesome! And surprisingly more relaxing and I have way more kids than you :) Now that Leah's in Kindergarten I'm going to miss the impromptu road trips I'd grown accustom to :( I love being free to do whatever I want, is that so bad ;)
