I’m trying not to be pathetic in how anxious I am to get going. But I haven’t had an actual VACATION with ONLY my husband in years. I mean, we’ve taken quickie weekend trips here and there, and we’ve gone camping as a family, but this is 5 days and 5 nights of just Neil and I. I’m giddy. As in, I am so ready to go my stomach hurts. 
It was a spur of the moment decision to take this trip. We had talked briefly about it but had decided that we should be responsible and use the money on the house. Later, I was thinking about it and decided that the money would be much better used invested in our marriage. So I got on Expedia and found a reasonable price for a trip to Vegas and did it. Then I told hubby and he was so excited. It was fun to surprise him with it. So in less than 24 hours we will be in Vegas. There are a few exciting firsts for me on this trip. I’m going on my first plane ride that I remember. (I went once when I was in grade school but I don’t remember much of it, maybe I slept through it?) I’m going to Vegas for the first time, and we are going skydiving together. I’m surprisingly excited about it. I’ve always been afraid of heights and have never really wanted to do anything like this. But I am really wanting to do THIS. I want to be able to say I’ve done it. I’ve let the adventureous person in me lie dormant for way too long.
I’ve had alot of fun preparing also. I’ve taken the time to go shopping for some new clothes and really make sure I’m going to look amazing. I put the effort into losing some weight and was successful. I feel good about myself for the first time in a long while. Something about knowing that my husband thinks I am hot and desirable has done alot for my self esteem. I’m really looking forward to knocking his socks off with a couple of surprises I have in store for him. Okay, so without divulging anything else, I can’t wait to spend some time with just him.
I’ll write again after the trip and hopefully share some pics. Maybe even video of us skydiving.
