i like to visit New York here and there, a couple of days at most, too busy, dirty, and not my style. But it is so beautiful at Christmastime, the atmosphere and lights are dreamy, and it was a perfect time to visit…

so we met at the hotel within a minute, couldn’t have timed that better! After the whole leaving the shuttle van at a light with luggage in tow, running and catching a cab, googlemaps on phone to make sure I was headed the right direction, go to check in to get a key to the room, and Jarom walks in right behind me…amazing!

we take a few pic’s, racing the timer on the camera..jarom thinks he can beat the three second time:), head to Rockefeller Center, think about ice skaing…too dang cold…eat at a restaurant down by the ice skating where you can watch, next best thing…romantic setting and good food…

head off to Wicked, absolutely amazing…i totally prejudged the play by the name, I’m so dumb!, had a great time, headed back to hotel, got up at 6:00am to get ready, grab a bite, and leave Jarom to go catch the plane, loved coming home and missed kids, couldn’t wait to see Jarom on Friday…wonderful, needed, grateful break!

However busy, complicated, hard and exhausting life can get, I’ve come to realize how much more often we need to be kids more, let go more, have more fun, let responsibility go for awhile, and remember who WE are, not all we feel we HAVE to do. How one day, changed and revived my spirit, my excitement came back, and Jarom and I being kids together, how much more we need of this, and less of the dullness of jobs, bills, things to do, people to call, and blah blah blah.

Embrace your inner child, and LET him/her out!

After having a bit of a rough time..here’s my complaint list…health, health, jarom gone, tired and health…taking too many herbs to survive…tired…and sad to see Jarom leave again for work, heading off to New York for the week, I woke up Tuesday morning, went to check my email, and this document came up…

Jarom was already in New York…hotel paid for…used miles for ticket…so had a free getaway, I just needed my amazing romantic husband, who put it all together without me having a clue, and it was complete!

Alex’s turn to stay up since daddy’s out of town, and she decided to do her own make-up while I was getting ready for bed. Now, if I could only be so brave with color! Nice job Alex!:)
