Family Time!

Days and weeks get so hectic, between being a mother and building my own career. That, coupled with my husband's career and full plate, and it seems there is seldom time for just the two of us to just be a couple!
Today was really special because we got exactly that: "us" time! I'm sure many of you can relate, it's a rare occasion when all the kiddos are out of the house! The grandparents watched the little guy; Sebastian and Nicia are with their grandparents in Maryland...and knowing they're all happy and well taken care of, its the perfect time for my husband and I to focus our attention on each other!
So what did we do? Dinner? Movie? Oh no...not for these two. We spent our date time climbing around in the trees, of course! We did a ropes course...I've never done anything like this before and I love experiencing and learning new things. What could possibly be more romantic than having new adventures with your favorite partner in crime?!
Anyway...it was nice to take the day off and have time with my husband. Life is certainly a balancing act, and my role as "wife" is an important one. We're the core unit of our family, and family is always a priority. When we're solid, we can handle what life throws our way...and speaking of which, we are about to embark on another journey: moving!
As we are buying our first home together, a really special milestone, it sometimes seems hard to imagine throwing more into the mix. I know as well as anyone that the "overwhelmed" feelings can creep in, but I have faith it will all work out in the end. I'm grateful for my family, and for the opportunities to share our victories, as well as our chaotic moments. Either way, you gotta love the ride, and I'm never one to shy away from a new adventure.
