Looking Forward to Time Away

Grandfather Mountain


Why does it seem that the more excited you are about an upcoming event, the longer it seems to take to actually happen?? Rusty and I have not had a lot of one-on-one, "leave the kiddos with a sitter" time, since the move. We usually go to our small group once a week, which I dearly love, but it's not the same as a date night. Last year we spent a week together, without the kids, and it was one of the most memorable trips of my life. We decided that we would try to get away at least once a year. Well, this is the weekend! I am so excited and Sunday can not get here soon enough!! We are heading to the mountains in Boone, NC and this weekend is what they call, "Peak Foliage". Everyone says the colors are breathtaking and the weather is supposed to be cooling off for the weekend. I really enjoy spending time with the kids, but every now and then, a little "us" time is a welcomed break. Anyone know of a way to speed up time???
