Spreading My Wings...

Sophia wheeled this thing around all day.
I finally had to break it to her...
she wasn't coming to Blissdom,
new luggage and all.
So I promised when she's "this tall"
we'll make it a girls trip.
Since then she's talked about growing up non-stop,
and Kade's "stressed" about me going.
At least I know they'll miss me.

Then there's my tween Jaxon,
he's got BIG plans of staying up way too late,
playing all kinds of Xbox,
eating loads of sugar cereal, sushi and Flaming Hot Cheetos,
all in the name of
'Mom's out of town!'

*****

I feel extremely lucky to have an awesome husband
who lets me try new things
flips the bill for said 'new things',
so I can venture out
and spread my wings.

Thank you Big Papa!!

XOXO

  2. Your hubs sounds like mine! Aren't we lucky? I went to TOFW in SLC in November and while I was feeling nervous/guilty/selfish for going on a trip all by myself and for spending all that moolah on little old me - my hubs talked me into it. He is trying to talk me into going to LA next week to spend my bday w my brothers - Wow - that sounded like he doesn't like having me around - but it's the opposite - he knows how hard I work and that I am NEVER off the clock and he also knows that having a bit of time to myself to explore my interests or connect w my peeps makes me a better person, mother and wife.
    Maybe I'll catch Blissdom w you next year!!

  4. Can I offer my own special thanks to your very kind and handsome husband for loaning you to us this week. It will be the highlight of my week to have you here in TN. I really can hardly believe it. Thank you so much Kimball :) We'll take good care of her but she could have a slight twang in her voice when she gets back home.
    love you guys,
    edie

  6. Sophia is adorable. I guess that means she might attend Blissdom next year, LOL! Your husband is a rock star (I married one, too). I hope you have a great time in Nashville and blog about it for us! I wish I could go, but my dr. still has not released me yet from my surgery. *sadface*

  11. She is just so cute!

    I'm sorry I didn't get by here sooner! I am so behind on my emails. :( I hate that I missed the giveaway!

    THe color of our living room is Peanut Shell by Pratt and Lambert. If you don't have a store that sells Pratt and Lambert then it is is almost identical to Restrained Gold by Sherwin Williams. :)

  12. Sweet Jessica, your daughter is so adorable (hmmm, wonder where she gets that from?) I hope you made it back safe and sound. Thank you so much for all the wonderful Blissdom memories, and for welcoming me with open arms. You'll never know how much that meant to me.

    Much love & hugs,
    Ruth
