What does a wife who is about two weeks away from giving birth, dealing with a lack of sleep due to my 1 1/2 year old having night terrors, and trying to get everything organized for the next stage of life, say to her husband? It goes a little something like this…..,”Sure babe……head off to Panama for eight days for a fun filled trip of relaxing and sightseeing.”
Micah and Seth are both expecting new babies around January 24th, and concocted this idea about Thanksgiving time. Both were going to be able to take time off this month, and both got the OK from their wives…..so I just got back from LAX to drop him off. My other brother David also had the good fortune of having some time off this month, and he is heading out there too. Micah is so excited, and has the whole trip planned out down to the details. His highlight is staying on some island that the show Survivor was filmed on for three nights. The entire island is only 7 miles around, and he plans to jog it every day. But his ultimate excitement comes from packing one of his favorite items…..you know….the pink Speedo he got as a joke a few years back. Seth and David will be humiliated!
I figure that times don’t come very often to just take off and have fun. I am glad all of the plans worked out……but don’t think there isn’t something in it for me. With a new baby around the corner, I figure I will have her when he is gone, or right as he comes back. If he is gone, there is NO QUESTION that I will be naming the baby. If it is right when he comes back, there is still no question…..BUT I might have to guilt him into it a bit more! Time will tell…..
