Weekend Away!

Scotty and I took a MUCH needed vacation this weekend to our favorite bed and breakfast in Hamilton, GA. It's 8 miles down the road from Callaway Gardens. The owners are more like family than friends, and they serve the best breakfast you've ever had!!! We basically did a whole lot of nothing. We slept a lot, sat on the front porch a lot, and ate a lot! The most ambitious thing we did was to see the new Indiana Jones movie (which, incidentally, we hated!). It was a great trip, and a really great reminder that I am more than just mommy. It actually took me a day to adjust to that! It felt strange not having my little peanut around, and I felt a little lost not being in mommy mode. It is really interesting to see how easy it is to forget what just being in "wife" mode is all about. I almost felt awkward at first, sitting there with nothing but time on our hands and each other to pay attention to. But that passed, and it was a GREAT time to talk and bond with Scotty. We talked about our different thoughts and feelings about life, new baby coming, us, etc. I came home with a renewed desire to pay more attention to my husband and to keep a check on balancing mommy mode with wife mode. I only have about 9 1/2 weeks left until I'm thrown back into new baby mode, so I have to make the most of it!
