Did I mention.......

...that we're going to Japan CHILD FREE.......now as exciting as that may sound to some....I am already having withdrawals from 'my little chubby face' fix everyday,

from my zahn 'freckle fix' and cuddles ('ziggy' is my favourite freckle - yes they have names)

and my Rylan chats and bed time stories....

10 days seems like forever to be away from them.....i'm already making ridiculous plans for them while i'm gone.....photo books.....letters.....treasure hunts.....making a video for Jasmin of her and I playing (me doing crazy things to make her laugh that only her eyes and I guess my sister Emma will view (i have to do some crazy things to get her to really laugh - not always a pretty sight (bryen family - think fiona doing the monkey to get the kids to laugh.....

But on the flip side of all this pre-mature anxiety.....i'm looking forward to spending 10 uninterrupted days with Chad.....it's been almost 8 years since we've had that much 'alone' together time, so we are both excited for 'the longest date ever'!! I SO can and can't wait for this trip!!!
