Mommy and My Boy’s

Hello Friends!

Today I will be heading out for my trip.  We are spending the night in Dayton, OH tonight so we dont have to get up so early to leave in the morning.  Tomorrow we will be flying most of the day.   I fly outta Dayton around noon to Atlanta, GA and then from GA to Rome, Italy!  I think the flight from Georgia to Rome will be 10hrs or so.  I hope that we have good flying weather!  Shawn has set me up on his psp to listen to my worship music and/or watch a movie.  should keep my mind off of thinking about crashing, swine flu, jacob’s ear ache! eek.

My itinerary:  Thursday through Tuesday morning i will be in Rome.

We will be taking a side trip to the island of Capri on Sunday….i will be wearing my capris, of course, on the island of Capri!  I will post some pics here every couple days so you can continue on my journey with me…..

Ciao! Becky

Well, my European get away is just next week and i am starting to get a case of the “nerves”…..

Motherhood is such a blessing, and at times, a test of a woman’s sanity. My two boys have driven me to the edge many, many times.  I’ve avoided falling into the abyss of crazy, due to God listening to All my prayers, and mostly to my amazing husband, Mr. Wonderful, who sees the cuckoo in my eyes and steps in to rescue us all from the fallout.  I just have to say how awesome he is that he’s so willing to take a few days of vacation and change his work schedule to stay home with the boys so that his wifey can go off on her own adventure w/3 other ladies for 17 days! We’ve been together dating/married since I was 17 and I’m now (let’s say 30ish).  i have never been away from home for this long so it’s gonna be quite the journey.

I have this restless adventure-bound itch in my toes that constantly wants to plan adventures.  Mr. Wonderful doesnt exactly have the same “itchy toe syndrome” that i do.  Leaving to go to Italy is such a dream, but the reality is, leaving my family is more than gut-wrenching. I do know that I am so glad that we have God at the center of our marriage and family.  I know that He will watch over the boys while i am on my journey.  BUT, i still have a case of the NERVES!

I am oh-so going to try to seize the day and get a grasp of this adventure!  although i do wonder where my sanity may end up…..going from doing homework, scrubbing dishes and cleaning toidys to dealing with going through customs (i have had crazy dreams about smuggling olive oil through lately), trying to figure out how to use the european toidy, drooling or snoring on the airplane, crashing my rented scooter and/or missing my train stop and ending up in a non-planned country, say Bulgaria.  i dont know if i will return sane or not!

I hope to continue my journey with you next week and post pics as i go.  My Sweet Saga To Be Continued……Please pray for us!

I am headed to italy for 17 days w/some girlfriends while Mr. Wonderful is playing Mr. Mom for 17days!  We are going all throughout Italy, Switzerland and Paris, France.  I am so excited and scared but ask for your prayers for God to protect me and my family while I am gone.
