I never thought that I'd say "I just put my husband down for a nap." The truth is, though, that our relationship is about giving to one another and while we are imperfect and have hiccups in our relationship, things like me making sure he's getting enough sleep is super important in the long run. He takes care of me in so many ways that if I ever needed to repay him, I don't think that I'd be able to. Thankfully, we don't keep score.

Right now we wouldn't even have time for that sort of thing anyway. I'm running my first marathon on June 4 and then we turn around and go on our first international trip soon after. The marathon part has me pretty scared, the traveling not so much. And it's not even the run that has me that scared. If I do it, I do it, but the next day of any distance race if you're undertrained can be hell. We live up a flight of stairs and going down them on June 5 is going to be nearly impossible. I'm already contemplating the sit-n-scoot down each stair so that I'll be able to make it to the bottom. Husband will likely have to help and then he'll also have to get me to and from work. I feel like work making it to work will actually be a badge of honor, though, because of how much it will take to get there. I think I'll be fine to stand up all day so that I don't get stiff, but who knows. Either way, I bet it'll be interesting.

And then there's getting ready for the Bahamas. So exciting! I'm already in the process of trying to get everything together, but the more I check into what we'll be needing to take with us, the more I think that we're going to have to use some of my parents' luggage so that our dress clothes don't get all screwed up on our flights. I'm behind, though, because it's less than two weeks away and I haven't even asked them yet. Oops!

A lot of other things are done, though. Husband and I got our passports in the mail mid-April and I've already started putting together things like toiletries, but being the lead on a trip this big has me feeling nervous. Husband has never been on a plane. I've never been on a red eye flight. I haven't been internationally in over ten years. Can we do it? Absolutely. It's just a matter of getting all of our ducks in a row and right now I don't feel like I have any ducks. It will always turn out, though, and it always has in the past, so I'm mostly excited (and secretly I think Husband is, too!)
