I'm leaving...on a jet plane


I'm off today to San Diego with Greg for a Valentines/anniversary/+ reunion with old friends weekend. Greg had meetings today in Atlanta so we're meeting in California tonight. (I'll try not to look up where he is and get hit by a car..."you were there" a la An Affair to Remember.)

After awakening to a slushy ice & snow storm this morning {complete with shoveling}, I'm ready for a little sun and warmth. Keep your fingers crossed for me that I can get out of the airport. Otherwise Greg will have a lonely little weekend~

{Kudos and gratitude to my mom for coming in for a grandma weekend with the kids.}

Have a GREAT weekend. Can't wait to hear all about it.

Wow...that is what I want to be doing right now. Flying to San Diego alone. Can your mom come to my house next?
