Leavin' on a jet plane...

...in June, to this fine place. Without kids. Can you say hip-hip-hooray?! Can you say stoked?! Can you say I am SO there?! I am all of the above! Justin and I were going to skip taking a trip for our 10th Anniversary this year even though we've been wanting to for years. After Justin's lay-off, we decided to get Kung-Fu serious about not acquiring any new debt for any reason. Since January we have not charged a single thing and it's felt AWESOME. We decided while it would be really nice, we could just take a trip another year together.

After Adam & Amanda got engaged, they announced they would be getting married in Arizona on June 5th. In the Young Family, family is first. We support our peeps! So Justin and I made being there top priority. It is worth a little sacrifice to let our family know we love them. After talking about it, we decided it wouldn't be feasible to fly the whole family out without acquiring debt. So Lauryn was going to come with us and we were going to leave Maryn and Brynna in Georgia. Then my sweet, wonderful Mom agreed to fly out and watch all three girls for us!

Justin and I are actually going to get a real getaway together! Did I mention, without kids. Yes that's right, NO KIDS! We decided to seize the opportunity and stay out there an extra couple days after the wedding on Marriott points to celebrate our anniversary and go to the Grand Canyon together. I have always wanted to go and without the kids I can actually enjoy myself without the fear of someone running off a cliff! I am so excited! I can hardly wait! Want to know the even cooler part, Justin and I already bought our plane tickets and for both of them total it was less than $250 for a non-stop, Delta flight! Hot diggety dog! I love it when things come together!
