A Wonderful Stop Along The Road

Although this is not pertinent at all to Texas State Government, I just wanted to share what an amazing week I had. Recently, I lost my job and my husband and I have been struggling to make ends meet. And although it probably wasn't the greatest idea, we used a portion of my student loans to take a trip to Washington. I hadn't been home in almost 4 years, and I needed to get away from all the stress (even if just for a little bit). I got to spend a week in sunny 75 degree weather. I got to see my best friend and her family (who have always been my family too). I got to meet my godson for the first time (and what a beautiful baby he is). I got to see my older brother who just got back from his third tour in Afghanistan. I got to show my husband a place I love and call home. It was amazing. It was beautiful. It's given me peace of mind and heart.

This is my love and I in front of Mt. Rainier. ♥

I just wanted to share. :)
