Little Bit City,

'Lil bit Country

If we sat down for coffee.


If we were to sit down and have virtual coffee I would tell you…

That last weekend was just what I needed.
Last weekend my amazing hubby planned a weekend away.
Just the two of us.
He asked his mom to babysit.
Booked a hotel room.
Make all the tentative plans,
and even a pampering massage appointment.

I would tell you that things have been so busy around here.
That we’ve both been dealing with our own stresses,
work, kids, life….
and we haven’t had much alone time.
Time to put work aside,
get away from home,
and re kindle the romance.

I would tell you that the weather couldn’t have been more beautiful.
The colors on the trees were beyond breathtaking
And the trip up the tram to the highest point in Palm Springs made each tree, leaf and rock formation that much more amazing.
That as we climbed to 8,500 feet (ok well rode in the tram) I was floored by the view.
But what I enjoyed the most was being able to hold Kyle’s hand and lean on his shoulder.
I loved listening to him tell me about all the sights I could see.
I feel the excitement in his voice and it made the experience that much more memorable.

I would tell you that we met the nicest family at the top, who knew how to use a DSLR.
This is important because normally I’m the one behind the camera.
Never a picture with the two of us, unless it’s a self portrait.
And because of this families generous offer, I have this beautiful picture of Kyle and I.
A picture that captures the amazing view, and of the two of us and locks that minute of time and saves it.

I would also tell you that this getaway was to celebrate our SEVENTH anniversary.
An anniversary that took place at the end of September, but life happened and we couldn’t get away till now.
We went to this amazing steak restaurant, where the meat melts in your mouth.
Since I love meat, this is the only way to enjoy a steak.
And while we ate, with two hands, and enjoyed our hot meal,
we talked about our lives, and how much we love each other.
We reflected on the last few months and how happy, settled and blessed we are to have found each other.
We took those moments to uplift one another and reaffirm one another.
Something we both needed… for our souls.
And at the end of dinner, our waiter treated us to this amazing dessert.
Chocolate… my favorite!
And lastly I would tell you that after 7 years,
I love this man more than ever.
His smile makes me melt.
His laughter is contagious.
He’s driven, passionate and the hardest working man you’ll ever meet.
He’s a provider, both financially and emotionally.
And I hope that our love continues to put down thick, strong roots in the years to come.
Oh and if you can, take a trip away for the weekend with you husband and rekindle the romance.
If we were sitting down for virtual coffee friends, what would you share with me?
I’d love to hear you share your heart.
I’m linking up here.

    I'd tell you that this will be my last year in the classroom for now and I'm at peace with it and so excited for the opportunity to be home with my kids. I'd tell you that since ten year old Manny's passing two weeks ago–I look at making the moments like you mentioned above more of a priority than the "stuff" we sometimes get caught up in…and then we would talk about our holiday traditions because Christmas is in nine days–crazy!! Glad you enjoyed your weekend–we are planning one in April–just went on a little date to a great Spanish restaurant and taste tested a ton!!!
