Our European getaway begins in 22 hours. I'm nervous and excited. It is going to be amazing to get away and begin this new chapter of our life with a whirlwind tour. I keep thinking back to everything Sean and I have done in the few short years we've been together...I never thought I'd be this lucky.
"Challenge" update...
Day 5 - July 6th, 2010
Challenge: When spending the evening with the beautiful Callie I WILL NOT hand her off as soon as she starts crying. I will find a way to make her stop.
Results: Another challenge accomplished. I managed to stay relaxed and after some time she quieted right down and fell asleep. Wow is she adorable.
Day 6 - July 7th, 2010
Challenge: Be a domestic wife and make something new for Sean for supper. Requirements: It must be somewhat nutritious and light.
Results: The bread turn out wonderfully (thank you bread machine), the salad was refreshing, and the soup...well...it was HOT. I wasn't going to settle for another pot of bland soup, so after making my own seasoning mix I decided to deviate from the recipe and add 5 times as much as was called for. Maybe I should have had more faith in the power of this particular spice mix. My courage to alter a recipe left both our mouths burning, but after some serious diluting I managed to bring it down to a tolerable heat.
Day 7 - July 8th, 2010
Challenge: Pack. Remember to stick to the essentials because you only have one backpack in which to stow things.
Results: After reducing my load at least 3 times I managed to get the zipper closed. A few modifications will be needed today to ensure I have at least a little space for some small purchases. There are benefits to being a man with no hair...all he needs to pack is a bar of soap. I am pretty low maintence, but those few key items do take up some precious space!
Time to check, and re-check my list to make sure I have all the essentials.
