I'm feeling overwhelmed...
-maybe it's the days being crossed off the calendar...
-maybe it's the house that is echoing with emptiness...
-maybe it's the music I'm listening to (Vacation Haus on Spotify)...
-maybe it's a glimpse of the metamorphosis our family is experiencing...
I'm overwhelmed by the realization that I get to wake up beside someone who wants to spend his life with me...that we've weathered so much and now stand here on the edge of our year together...that 19 years ago we said 'I do' and somehow (without thinking it out) this year-leave is happening on our much-anticipated favourite anniversary (the number 19 is 'ours' - we have a list of many 19's that play a part of our love story)...
I'm overwhelmed by the depths of emotions I feel...that we have two living, healthy, and active Children with whom we get to share these travels...that we have jobs that allow for this break from the routine...that we continue to choose love (it's not perfect, learning and growing along the way)...
I'm thankful...and overwhelmed in a good way...
