Are We There Yet?

I have enjoyed getting to know my husband these last five-and-a-half years. It feels like the last year has been very enlightening, like we are only now processing all the facts we know about each other. "Why do you XYZ?" Hmmm, I don't really know. I've never really thought about it rationally before. Why do I do that? Brian asked me the other day, "You don't really think we're going on our trip, do you?" Apparently I have this left-over expectation from childhood that fun trips we plan will never happen. Not really sure why I think that unless it is related to how I would plan things as a kid without consulting my parents, get really excited about it, ask permission and then not be able to do it. Isn't that silly? I felt that way when I was planning to go to college, then later when I planned to go to Costa Rica, not so much when we were getting married, but I wondered if we would really go to Paris for our honeymoon. I am only now addressing this. It is a very revealing experience.

Apparently Brian also has a hang-up or two. I don't think I am at liberty to disclose these at this date. I will just say that I am going to call him out on it soon and I will let you know what happens.

Ha! Did you plan a trip to Disney World as a kid? I know I planned about a dozen of them. Never made it a single time. Isn't that just awful?

Hey I'm sorry the meeting didn't go like I planned! We really wanted to talk about reasons why some parents don't want to follow the recommended vax schedule, but we were just short on time. I have some good, factual info and would love to get together some time to talk about it.
