Getting away....

I am currently on a ferry to one of the most beautiful islands God ever created - Ocracoke. 

I have been looking forward to this small getaway for months now, excited to be with just my first love. 

I know I'll have a great time, and Emma won't even notice I'm gone, but I miss her already. 

All these kindergarten posts have made me realize how short my time is with Emma. 

We almost decided to just take her with us this morning.....what's wrong with me?!?!

God, please let me relax and enjoy being away so that I can be an even better, more patient and loving mother when I return! Amen! And cheers to a fun weekend with my man of 15 years (9 of them legal!)
