¡Felices vacaciones a nosotros!

We are on vacation! Ahhhhh...... (giant sigh of relief/relaxation)

You know those stress assessment tests where you check off the events that have happened over the last year, and that determines how stressful your life is? I was thinking about some of the events that normally appear on them, and how many I would check off. Serious illness? Pregnancy? Death in the family? Check, check, check. The list goes on. Needless to say, we are more than ready for a vacation.

The way things are working out this may also be the best "progressive vacation" ever! We have had a long weekend at home to relax, pack and settle into "vacation mode." Next on the itinerary is some time at Faith's Lodge. There we hope to reflect and process some more of our experience, and relax even more. Finally, we'll be spending a week in Costa Rica, full of adventure, the beach, and oh yes, MORE relaxation! We have always wanted to visit Costa Rica together, and feel very blessed that everything has come together to make this trip a reality. From our bosses' understanding and flexibility to allow us two weeks off, to the financial side of things working out, we are very grateful.

We'll be back in a couple weeks with stories, pictures, and (hopefully) nice tans!
