Stop the presses. I've actually run every other day for the past 10 days in a row. As that's gotta be some kind of personal best, I felt it worthy of noting for all you Team Blue people cheering me on.
I hope I can continue it this week. I will go tomorrow morning, and then tomorrow night I will be flying out to attend a friend's destination wedding. Now I admit, I'd never heard of a destination wedding till about 3 months ago, when someone else mentioned they were attending one. It's self-explanatory, I assume. But in case it's not, the bride and groom pick their wedding site and the attendees then get themselves to it. It's not generally in the home town of either of them. I suppose that the big Las Vegas weddings could be considered DW's.
Anyway, this is the private luxury resort where we're staying. It looks absolutely amazing. And since it's just the wedding party there, we have the beach to ourselves, and that is where the ceremony will take place at sunset on Friday. I'll be en route all day Saturday, trying desperately to make it home before Mother's Day arrives! I hope the Jumpseat Gods smile upon me for my journey (I wouldn't be able to go if I couldn't fly there for free).
I admit no small amount of guilt that I'm going to this event without any of my family with me. Doc is in the final 2 weeks of classes for med school. He takes Step One of the Medical Boards next month, then starts his rotations. These first 2 years have really blown by. He's loved them, but if the past couple weeks when he's been doing patient interviews and interacting with people in the hospital is any indication, he's going to enjoy the next couple years even more. Let the fun begin. And as for the kids, well, like I said, I wouldn't be able to attend if I couldn't fly there for free. The kids not only don't have passports, but they're still in school for another month. And they're not free. My only consolation is that next month during the 2 weeks Doc has off, we're all going as a family to Puerto Rico. That will be wonderful.
As I won't have internet access while I'm away, this marks the start of a week-long blogging hiatus. Pictures to follow after the trip. Have a great week everyone!

Holy Freaking Cow what a beautiful place to witness for a week! I feel envious to say the least and hope you have a wonderful and relaxing adventure. Best wishes to the lucky couple (anyone with a friend like you is Lucky J.) enjoy the blue water and sunny skies!
Have a fabulous trip, my friend!
Have a fabulous week Blue! And just unpack that guilt and leave it home, it doesn't mix well with the tropical environment I assure you. You wouldn't want to go muddying up the pristine blue beaches and ruining any of the wedding photos with guilt over enjoying some 'you' time.
Now here's your assignment during your "you" time... Go find a favorite flower of the week - doesn't have to be a lifelong commitment but just your favorite flower of the week. Baby steps. :)
May the Jumpseat Gods be with you...always.
WOWZA!!! That is quite the paradise! I hope you are having a complete and utterly relaxing and rejuvenating blast! Can't wait to see pictures.
And way to go on the running! I ran this morning and 2x last week, so I'm hopeful that I can find my inner runner once again. (She's been in hiding for a few years!)
Fantastic! Can't wait to hear about it. As a stay at home mom, I find that with little breaks from family help rejuvinate me and I come home energized and better at everything important.
Kirsten was here....that looked like such a fun excursion!
