The
kids left and was honestly a really good week . So relaxing and just chilling
with us
Felt
very odd though not to have bear with us !
With
Cassie however they were still three though so didn’t notice it as much
As
soon as everyone left we were very eager to FaceTime bear ( only did one short
time with kids as felt like was mean to him to see us all having fun on
vacation without him )
So
Sunday night at sunset on beach we FaceTime a ans him and Sandrine were having
a romantic weekend at cottage so not sure how much he missed us ! Was so cute
to see them sending pics of fancy dinners they made together ( salmon tartar
and Brie ) and cuddled near the fire trying to delay their Sunday night
departure as much as possible
I
love that our kids seem to also have the cottage bug ( especially when we are
not there ! ) and love the coziness and nature of it all . They spent a good
part of day hiking up the ski mountain and back down .jacuzzi , watching movies
, studying . A cute couple for sure .
Here
in Turks we are still sick and Hubby lung infection and 2 eye infections . Now
3 days before going home although both lots of meds and horrible cough still (
for me has been 21 days !! ) we at least function ans have some energy
We
love love love it here . Could easily live here . Love the pace of our days and
reading and sleeping and watching movies and snuggling up ( when we are not coughing
all over each other )
So
nice to take a break from the crazy 8 month marathon of work we have just been
though
And
realizing that it did not serve us well to do that to our lives and bodies
clearly . Not something I would do again to work every night and every weekend
. That is for sure . This new career better provide us the balance we need and
have demanded and fought for all our lives
I
have spent a good part of my vacay thinking and planning out stage 2 ( the
marketing stage ) and feeling good about things . I needed a step back for a
few weeks after launch to just breathe and let it all settle in and now ready
to get to work again
Although
feel cheated to be on vacay so sick and with hubby now ever sicker as hard to
fully enjoy like this - I feel blessed too . So blessed that we have each other
, are still very much in love and life partners after 22 yrs of marrriage - and
that our kids are old enough now to largely take care of themselves while we
are away ( my mom is there about 4 nights making meals and keeping them company
and driving beauty places but such a different ballgame than before leaving
older teens than kids or younger teens )
I
feel blessed we can Afford this beautiful vacation and have endless
opportunities before us to work hard and create ans market and do this again
year after year I am hoping
It’s
like home to us and we adore it with our heart and souls
I
love the disconnecting of it all too . Love it
Besides
checking my email and texts for 24 hrs mid week and social media and then
having a text chat with savvy last night and a couple of very few and far
between texts with kids about logistics we take a total mental break and give
our kids ones too
It
refuels us in a way you cannot understand unless you have ever tried
disconnecting before ( and have a very demanding career where you are connected
to your phone all day long and need the break
