HONEYMOONERS

Devin and I got the chance for a little getaway. My mom took Braden for 5 days! It was amazing! We had such a fabulous time, even if the time away had just been a drive, we still would have loved every minute being together. Our trip however, was more than a drive and I fell so hard for Devin again, having him all to myself. We drove down to LA one afternoon and checked into an amazing hotel in Anaheim, the Hilton. Hello!! We hit the pool as soon as we got there and then tucked in early, for we had an early morning Thursday at DISNEYLAND!!; My favorite place, and it seems as though I have now convinced Devin of the necessity to have Disneyland in our family life. We spent two magical days at Disney. Day 1: Rode every ride we wanted at Disney and California Adventure, some rides more than twice. We were maniacs. The lines were short, we walked fast, our legs were exhausted, my feet were aching, but we loved every minute. We held hands, we hugged, we looked at each other all day, and talked about important things. We loved being alone, although Disneyland is an awful place to go if you dont want to miss your adorable baby at home. Day 2: Back to Disney and California. Rode every ride 2 or 3 more times. We lucked out big time with the low waits. The weather was fabulous on both days. It was the best. Day 3: We took time to go to the Newport Beach temple for sealing sessions. It was a very tender experience, I think for us both, but my heart felt very close to my Dads as we were in the temple. Devins Dad has recently been called to be a sealer in the Rexburg temple, and my Dad was just called to be the bishop of his ward. My heart was so thankful for our Dads. For their worthiness and faithfulness, and especially for their love for me, and my boys. I have the best Dads a gal could ask for. After the temple, we of course headed to the beach and spent a few hours there enjoying once again, our time alone. I had almost forgotten what it was like to be so in love. There was no baby toddling around us, putting sand in his mouth and trying to crawl into the ocean. It was just us. Although when we saw babies, we of course couldnt wait to get home to Braden. Funny how we love love loved the alone time, but missed Braden so desperately. That evening we headed to Fresno to stay with John and Karlena, Devins aunt and unlce, and to go to church with them on Sunday morning before we were to head home. It was so fun seeing them and we had a sweet experience with them. We loved our vacation and I cant wait to get away again. We decided that we need to do that often, even if it just means a quick trip to Tahoe. It was good for us. And we especially cant wait to take Boo to Disneyland!!!
