It's time to get cozy. Turn on the heat, start a fire, get a blanket, make some tea.
The leaves are changing. The temperature is dropping. The snow is falling. (If you live in Wyoming)
And things are peaceful.
The kind of peace that comes as the ripples in the water are dissipating. It's calm. It's quiet.
Three years, two babies, one BSN, one cross-country move, one cancer scare, one stressful-working-nights-for-months-and-months job, + a hundred other little things that came smashing into us over the last three years....The waves have seemingly stopped smashing. No more whitecaps. Just the little ripples.
Things aren't perfect. There are still some night shifts that mess everyone up. There is this thing and that thing.
BUT
It's calm.
And I'm grateful that having gone through it, we still like each other. Husband and I.
And we are going to celebrate in Napa Valley in November.
First real vacation since our honeymoon, which honestly, neither of us really enjoyed that much. (we discovered we aren't cruise people)
It feels like it's time to rest. And
Because who knows when the next storm is going to blow in?
But for now, happy fall!!
Yay!! (Did you buy those tickets yet?)
