Tomorrow is a milestone for me. It will mark the first night I will spend away from my daugther since she was born. It will mark my first time traveling alone since I met Harry. It will mark the day I finally get to meet some of my closest friends face to face.
I thought I would be completely freaking out right now. An entire weekend away from my little girl and my husband? Less than a year ago, it was unimaginable. The girls had tried to talk me into coming out to Vegas with them, but I couldn't even entertain the idea when they first brought it up. I remember just flat out telling Cristina, "I can't be away from Ellie overnight. I just can't."
And now, here I am, hopping on a train heading south tomorrow morning, EXCITED to be going. Not because I'm leaving Ellie and Harry behind. No, never that. I'm excited because I haven't had a girls' only vacation-type-thing since my last trip to L.A. back in 2001. 8 years! Holy crap. How have I survived?
Here's my chance to have tons of fun with some of the most amazing women I know. It's also a chance to get away from the stress I've been feeling concerning work; this trip couldn't have come at a better time.
I think I'm gonna be OK. I'm leaving tomorrow morning, and I'll be back late Sunday afternoon. Harry's going to be with Ellie, so no worries there. I plan on drinking copious amounts of alcohol, laughing myself silly, and possibly getting a new tattoo to mark the occasion. Yay!
To Cristina, Jess, Annita, Sara, and Helena... I'll see you soon! It makes me so happy to be able to say that.
