Home So Soon?

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.

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 ;)
