I was feeling a little blue this week knowing Alex was leaving for Baghdad so Thursday John said "let's head to the coast for the weekend." We threw a few things together, hooked up the pop-up for its maiden voyage (well, maiden with us), and headed to Brookings...with no reservations.
The stars were aligned and we got lucky - a nice spot at Harris Beach State Park - one of our favorite spots. Weather is a little chilly, but nice to go for walks and just appreciate each other and our life. Fortunately Starbucks is only a mile or so away, it helps me appreciate my life a little more clearly!!
So, Alex left today, and while I'm feeling like an anxious mother, I have a calm about me. I did ask him to send me little snippets I could post on here so you can read a little of his journey in his words, not mine. Thank you for keeping him in your prayers...you can never have too many!
Im jelly jelly that you just packed up and went to the coast... ah how fun! I cannot wait to be there sharing the end of this pregnancy with you, family and friends. And having your company while Alex is away. Miss you tons, love you more!
