...on November 21st I left the US, childless, to spend the next 12 days with Nick sorting and sifting through our home getting ready to pack out for our next assignment. While we missed our girls dearly, it was way over due for time together just the two of us. It was so nice to come and go without 14 excess bags......SLEEP all night without waking to crying or holding on to the last stitch in the mattress cause it was stuffed with kids and adults.....putting things away without them only to be pulled back out the minute you turn your back...
We love our girls...wouldn't go back to the way things were before BUT it is true what they say about taking time for your marriage..I agree..and am thankful that my in-laws agreed to take the girls for this time.
"All the things you are to me Darling you have set me free I'll always give you what you need and what you deserve All the joy and all this love I know that it is from above and now together there is enough to fill this world Cause you are the love of my life you are the love of my life and now we are man and wife....." Michelle Featherstone
So...if you can manage to get away from the kids at any point...I highly recommend it!
