Our Next Family Vacation!

This year Ryan and I will celebrate 20 blissful years of marriage. After much thought, we've decided on our vacation spot. We're going to take a Mexican Riviera Cruise. I've never been to the 3 ports of call, but Ryan did finish his mission in Mazatlan and would love to return back to visit areas that he was unable to see. We've never taken a cruise, for several of reasons. For Ryan it was lack of interest, for me it's because I have a fear of large bodies of water. After talking to many people who have cruised, we have overcome our issue's and decided to try a new experience.
Ryan and I have been planning this for the past couple of months. Lots of things to work out, like....We still need to keep the daycare open while I am gone, who's going to house sit, whose going to care for the kids, how are they going to get to all their activities, lots of details. So after much thought, we've just decided to take our children with us. We were going to hold off telling them for awhile, but it was killing me to hold it in. So last night for family night, we brought it up in conversation. I don't think I've ever heard my girls scream so loud and jump so high off the ground in my life. Kyle's only concern is that the ship is going to sink, just like the Titanic. I assured him that this wasn't going to happen. He's okay with it now.
The only thing that Ryan requested was that we have separate rooms and he wanted a balcony room for us. The kids will just be across the hall from us.
Although this trip isn't planned until November 29th, it gives Ryan and I an incentive to keep up with weight watcher's.

Time To Get Some Rest!

So today is Ryan's 41st birthday. I can't believe it. And wouldn't you know it, he and I are both really sick. Ryan never ever ever goes to the doctor and yesterday he tried to go in to the office for a couple of hours and his work kicked him out and made him go to the doctor. They did a culture and we're just waiting to see if he has strep. Needless to say, he's home today feeling just awful. I on the other hand have bronchitis. My cough is so bad that when I start coughing I can't stop and then I start chocking. Kind of scary. I however am still working. I can't take time off even when I feel like this. That's the disadvantage to my business. Too many people depend on me everyday. Maybe my body is finally telling me it's time to slow down and take it easy.
Of course, I'm hosting Easter this year and have a ton of things to do before Sunday. No time to be sick!
Traditionally the birthday person gets to choose a restaruant of choice on his/her birthday, but I think tonight we're staying in. All birthday plans for the weekend are shot as well. It's always a bummer to be sick on a special day like this.
