Project 365, Week 16

A busy, fun week with celebrations and travel and hard work. 

April 12

No picture. I was all pictured out from Easter the day before, though my heart was still full.

Somehow, Aiden has ended up on four different teams this spring...one flag football and three soccer teams. He has a goal of making the middle school team this fall. Its a short season and most of the teams are very close to home.

When the tax season was extended, I realized that would make it possible for us to do something for Shaun's birthday, which is inconveniently on April 15. I surprised Shaun with a quick overnight to Boston. It was SO perfect! We walked around the city, we ate a slow, late, delicious meal, we took advantage of our wood-burning fireplace in our hotel room.

Happy birthday to my favorite. So thankful for all of his 50 years...what an honor to be the one who gets to grow old with him. He's one of the good guys.

We walked about six miles, exploring some of the history, talking business, dreaming of the future, reflecting on our blessings. By 11am we were checking out. It was a short time but oh so sweet.

Spring was springing in THE most delightful ways.

Colombo came to the office and delivered a still-warm pie that Amy had made, knowing its one of Shaun's favorite things. So sweet! Also, 12 hours later 3/4 of it was GONE!

Thanks to the rain, our evening of sports activities cleared up, so we took Shaun out to dinner. He is a gift, the rock of our family.

What on earth??? 

When we booked our Florida house in January, we couldn't have known that it would be an end-of-season, deep exhale celebration, but instead an ill-timed vacation while tax season is still in full swing. But, where there's a will there's a way and we kept our reservation.

 

About 7pm and we were on the road and all very happy about it! The kids have gotten SO good about helping.

We drove straight through the night and, per tradition, we crossed the Florida/Georgia line, playing Cruisin' by Florida Georgia Line, window down. Love our crew!

First full day in Florida. Life is good.
