NOT a John Denver fan, but he's stuck in my head today!!!

"I'm leavin' on a jet plane. 

Don't know when I'll be back again"

Ok, I'll be back Saturday night.

I'm heading out bright and early tomorrow morning.

Mom, Sarah (sister), Josie (niece) and I will be flying to 

Iowa for a Girls Weekend Away! =)

My brother, Scott and his family are there 

for a few months during their furlough from Colombia.

We'll be doing lots of visiting with them and checking out the

Tulip Festival!! Woohoo!!! =)

I'm so excited!! I'm a bit sad that the boys aren't going with me

because they'd LOVE to see their cousins....

and Caleb would also LOVE to see Uncle Scott.

(although he acts like he's afraid of him, when he's

not around U.Scott is all he talks about!!!)

But, honestly I'm looking forward to a Mommy Break!

The only time I've been away from them overnight was 

1 night back in September and of course 

from Sammy when Caleb was born. 

Other than that it's been All Mom, All the Time! =)

**** I secretly think they'll enjoy a Mommy Break too!! shhhh! ****

Anyway, my bags are packed and I'm all ready to go.....

you know, besides the 

3 loads of laundry to fold, 

dinner to make and serve, 

TONS of prep for MOPS since I won't be there tomorrow, 

and nursery duty tonight at church

Other than that I'm all set!! ;)
