The Day Has Come!

Today is the day! In just a few hours I will greet the babysitter and walk out the door and begin my weekend away! I've been looking forward to this weekend for months now and am so excited that the day has finally arrived.

My plane leave at 4:30 this afternoon and I'll arrive in Chicago shortly before 11:00. My friends will pick me up and we will stay in a hotel tonight. Then tomorrow we will stay in the Chicago area and do what ladies do, you know, shop! We may even take in a movie which we've been known to do on our ladies trips. After we're done perusing Chicago we head back over to Michigan where I'll spend the rest of the weekend visiting with good friends. I'm especially excited about Sunday when I'll visit the church we attended while living there. They finished a building project shortly after we moved so we never saw the finished product. Then come Monday I'll head back to Chicago to catch my flight home. I'll be home in time to tuck the kids into bed after giving them some little treats I hope to pick up while I'm gone.

So, Wednesday I pulled out my suitcase and threw a few things in and in just a bit I'll finish packing. Let's see if I have everything....

clothes..........check
toiletries.......check
travel clock...check
ipod................check
book...............check
no kids...........double, no triple, check!

Ah.....this weekend is going to be grand! I'll tell you all about it next week and maybe post a few pics too! Hope you all have a great weekend!
