East Coast Trip

This summer Over a 6 week period, Brian will be gone for 4 of them. At one point he will only be home for 3 hours before he has to leave again. 

So I'm also leaving. There isn't a lot going on in the summer, and I don't want to be home alone with the boys for all that time. I wasn't built to be a wife with a traveling husband. 

The boys and I will fly into DC and spend a week with Brian's  parents. From there, we'll fly up to Maine to visit with my family for a couple of weeks. I'm not sure when I'm returning just because of funds and flights, but it will be sometime in July. 

I'm excited, sad, and nervous all at the same time. I'm super excited to see all of Brian's family and get to hang out with our friends back in Maryland and Virginia. We miss them a lot. I'm am equally excited to be in Maine with my family. We're going to spend time with my grandparents, go strawberry picking and eat lots of Houlton Farms Dairy. (Ice cream). 

We're really going to miss our friends in here. And I'm going to miss the sun. Maine doesn't really get sun. 

I'll be back in Texas some time in mid-July. So for those of you in the county reading this- which is probably just my mom- I would love to get together and hang out. 

I felt the need to write all of this out so there wasn't any rumors as to why I was leaving Texas for a month with my two babies, and with out my husband. 

Please pray for us. 

Pray for Brian's Heath and safety. He needs to be healthy for all these trips and just one full week of teenagers is exhausting. 

Pray for the boys. That they handle all of the transitions well. JT is a social butterfly and will miss his friends. Especially in Maine. 

Pray for my sanity. Brian's is the yin to my yang, Joel to my Ethan, Damon to my Affleck, (too much Gilmore girls). I don't do well with out him, which is pathetic and feel free to gag, but it's true.

Thank you💕
