Trekking into the wilderness

and I am talking about me, on spending the next 9 days as a huge pregnant woman chasing a toddler around all by myself.

and also my husband, who will be leaving tomorrow morning with his mom to have a fun, relaxing and beautiful 9 days far far away from the mayham in the Mason house that is sure to follow his departure.

I am actually looking forward to having complete and total control over the remote for 9 days (and that's just sad). And also, I am only cooking the minimal amount needed to sustain a toddler and a pregnant person for 9 days. And I am probably not going to clean the house until day 8. And I may not wash my hair every day. And I am certainly not going to turn off the lights when I leave the room and will more than likely keep the air conditioner turned down to a warm 60 degrees, even in the day. Let's see, anything else....oh, my oatmeal creme pies are totally coming out of my hiding spot for easier access. Yes. I am starting to feel a little bit better about this trip.

So keep E and his mom in your prayers as they travel tomorrow and brave the grizzlies at Yellowstone. And pray for me as I brave my own little 2 year old grizzly by myself too! And congrats to Josh and Christie as they are getting married this weekend, (and are the reason for the trip)

One more thing to note- HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my little sis, Brittany!!! I love your quirk, your sense of humor, your sensitivity, and your fierce spirit. I am so proud of you!
