A Weekend Away With The Hubby...Who Can Resist?

Sorry Kaylee...I stole your picture....I believe you were the only smart one to bring a camera!

So a few weekends ago, Mike and I had the privilege of going to Las Vegas with 2 couples that we totally love...Matt and Kaylee and Greg and Amy. We had a BLAST!! We had the weekend planned for a while now, but it seemed like it took forever to get here. Maybe because we had so much going on up until the getaway that we just had a lot to get through. However, it got here, and away we went.

We left the kids with Lynn and Larry for 4 days and made the drive to Vegas with Greg and Amy in the back seat. I have to say, both car rides were actually a lot of fun. You know how you have those friends that you aren't sure if could really spend a long time alone with them in the car without being totally annoyed at the end...well let me tell you...Greg and Amy Austin are not those people. We had a lot of fun and were laughing the whole time.

Our weekend fun consisted of bowling, eating, a sucky impersonator named Danny Gans (luckily they made a mistake and we only had to pay for one ticket), eating, massages, a little gambling, eating, shopping, and more eating. Did I mention eating? That's always what Mike and I like to do on vacation...eat, and then eat some more. Its so nice to enjoy a quiet meal without worry about the kiddos. We called to check on them everyday and even talked on the phone to them. They both seemed to have a great time, even though Ava was a little under the weather. We did miss them bunches but still enjoyed our alone time.

I think Mike and I both are determined to not be one of those couples that as the kids get older and leave the house, we find ourselves with nothing to talk to each other about. We don't want to wrap our entire lives around our children without forgetting about each other. Our priorities are this...1. God 2. Eachother 3. Our Children...in that order. Don't get us wrong...we would do anything for our kids at anytime...but if we don't work because "we" aren't a priority, than what good are we to our kids?

Okay off of that soapbox...back to the vacation. It was a ton of fun and we'd do it again in a heartbeat...just as soon as we recoup our money.
