For the longest time we have been planning to go on an island 5 year anniversary trip. Little did we know when we originally planned it we would have to leave our little love for the first time ever on an overnight trip.
I know, I know she is almost 15 months old and "it will be good for her and for us", but it didn't make it any easier to leave her behind. All week leading up to Saturday I was having a hard time being excited for the trip because my anxiety about leaving her was much greater than my excitement. I knew she would be fine because she was staying with family but I also knew since her conception, we had never been apart.
I believe she knew something was going on because all week she was very cuddly and sweeter than normal (I know hard to believe).
The night before our flight we met with my Dad and Ronny and had dinner in Kirklin at Bookers. Throughout dinner I kept holding Everly instead of her being in her highchair and Brian did as well. We were enjoying our last few snuggles until we left for the week.
We made the "trade off" here so hopefully I wouldn't cry because it was in public. Let's just say everyone knew I was emotional about not being with her. After loading her up, and driving away, and only a few tears, I began to get excited for the trip.
That night was so weird because we both caught ourselves trying to be a little quieter because we were so used to her being in bed by 8. I already missed her but knew she would have fun and so would we.
