In 83 days...

Think the movie Cocktail- with the young Tom Cruise.

"Aruba, Jamaica, Oooh I wanna take ya to Bermuda, BAHAMA, come on pretty mamma. To Key Largo, Montego, Baby why don't we go down to Kokomo......"

Before I was old enough to see the movie, I had the movie Soundtrack on Cassette. It was completely worn out. By the time I was a teenager, I would hear this song and think to myself.... "One day, I want to say I've gone to at least one of those awesome places on this song."

In 83 days, I will not be here. I will not be at my desk (working or playing). I will not be doing laundry. Or dishes. Or cleaning. I will not be cooking either. I won't even be in my house. I will not be stressed. Or worried about anything that is our krazy life. I won't even be in Arkansas.
I will be in Florida boarding a cruise ship to the BAHAMAS!
That's right!! We are going on a REAL vacation. For the first time since our honeymoon.
The reason for this trip is to celebrate 10 YEARS OF MARRIAGE!!! To the most wonderful husband in the universe, I might add.
We are even taking our kids along on this trip, which I know will be wonderful. You should've seen their faces when we told them! They're a little confused though, they think the Bahamas is in Florida! I need to get out that globe that MeMe and PaPa got Braden for Christmas and give a little geography lesson, I think!

We got a great deal on the trip and we are all over the moon excited about it. Probably me more than anyone else, but I've been dreaming about a great vacation for so long!!

I am so thankful to be able to be planning this. And I'm also sore because I'm back on my hard-core diet and excersise plan. Started yesterday. Today, Day 2... I've already got my 1 1/2 hr work out in. Had my healthy breakfast. Now all I need is a hot bath to ease some of this soreness! Ah, perhaps after I get a few hours worth of work done I can. I am determined to lose those last 15-20 lbs of the baby weight I've been trying to get off-for almost 3 years! I have almost 3 months. I think I can do it!
83 days and counting!!!!!!!!!!!
