Mexico here we come!!

You might have noticed the latest addition to my blog is a countdown to Mexico. I am super excited!!!!! Jeremy and I have been saving for a five year anniversary trip since our honeymoon. I was always nervous everything wouldn't fall into place but it did. On December 4th we leave for four glorious nights in the Riveria Maya (south of Cancun), Mexico. Some of you might know our anniversary isn't actually until May. But after talking with our travel agent we decided to go in December for a couple reasons. First, we are saving lots of money. Also it is a good time of the year for Jeremy to be gone since we don't do any youth events between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Plus May is really hard with all the graduations we have to go to.

One month after our one year anniversary we found out I was pregnant with Grace. Then around her one year birthday we found out we were pregnant with Faith. So basically I have been pregnant or nursing 4 of the five years we have been married. So we are very excited to get-a-way just the two of us. Even though I am excited I dread leaving the girls. I am not always great about leaving them. But I know God has helped the pieces fall into place so that Jeremy and I can have the needed time to charge our marriage batteries. So I am praying God will help me keep from falling into mommy guilt as I seek to enjoy time with my first love, Jeremy. I hope someday when the girls read this they will be glad they had a mom who loved their dad like crazy!! (and not sad they didn't get to come along)

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go......because on December 4th I'm leaving on a jet plane!
