Some of my other favorite spots.

A few weeks ago, I got to take a week long trip to Arizona. By myself!! I had such a fun time visiting my mom. On top of that, my brother Paul flew out from Brooklyn to spend a few days with us. It was such a special time. We shopped, ate, played cards, took walks, got pedicures, and just talked. We can't thank Tom and my sister-n-law Carisa enough for watching all the kids so we could make these special memories. I had nobody asking for Cheerios or milk, no diapers to change, no homework to check. It didn't take me long to get used to that, but I definitely missed Tom and the boys. Tom did everything from making my plane reservations to taking leave so he could watch the boys. I'm so lucky!!

It was such a memorable trip. I'm 6 months pregnant, and my feet were swollen by the end of my 24 hour flight and sleeping was pretty much impossible, but it was definitely worth it!! It had been almost a year since being back in the States, and I definitely miss it. We live in such a great country. I look forward to coming back in a few years, but for now, we are enjoying our overseas time as much as we can.

When I got back, DJ came in privately and told me that they had a fun time with Tom. I thought that was a very nice compliment. Tom did an amazing job with them. I know I'm extremely lucky to have such a great husband who thought it was important for me to get away and have some time to myself. It meant a lot to me. I'm so thankful!!
