Last weekend I flew the coop and headed to Salt Lake ALL BY MYSELF to see my sister and my new nephew Issac. I don't know why it's taken me six years to do something like this, but it was a great getaway. Of course, Keith and I have gone away without the kids, but I've never done it ALL BY MYSELF (did I already mention that?) Thanks to my cousin Monica who watched the kids Friday so Keith could sleep (he got home at 4 a.m. Friday after working 24 hours straight). Daddy took over Friday night to Sunday night. Sounds like they managed pretty well. I even came home to a clean house with the huge pile of clean laundry I had left all folded and put away. I'm still trying to figure out if he was doing it to be a nice hubby or if he's really trying to say, "See it's not that hard." I'm hoping for the first. :) Anyway, I flew in Friday morning and met up with my parents who had flown in a few days before. We went to the distribution center (a must of course when you're in Mormontown). Then we went shopping for a dress for my sister to wear for their big day - her and her husband were sealed in the Jordan River Temple while I was there. That night we went to my nephew Jack's 2nd birthday party. I also got to meet up with my long-time friend Adrian for a little "girl's" time. All day Saturday was spent at the temple, then afterwards we had a family luncheon and they also blessed baby Issac. I was so glad to be there at the temple and see little Issac sealed to his parents. It was so fun to see and visit with a lot of extended family and do what I wanted when I wanted and even take a NAP...what is that?? It was heavenly. I'm definitely doing this again! I was ready to come home to the kiddos and felt refreshed, like I was up to tackling mommyhood again. It really is amazing what a few days away can do!

I'm jealous, I would love to go stay with my sister and family down there again, BY MYSELF! How fun! It's hard coming back though!
Ahh! Alone time. What a great weekend you had. Such a spiritual one too! Congrats to everybody.
I'm glad you got a break! It sounds like you had fun and your nephews are adorable!
how fun!! yeah, for you. every time my husband is alone, he manages to have a clean house and do everything that i can't do. it really gets on my nerves. and for him, it does mean, see it's not that hard. i used to feel bad, but now i don't. i'm just glad he does it.
Looks like you had a blast! Nothing better than a weekend to relax so you can go back to mom-hood refreshed and ready to tackle the daily grind. Glad you had fun!
