I am exhausted. Beaten down. Tuckered out. Completely wiped.
These past two months have done a number on me.
And my family feels the same.
Since mid-July my kids have been going gangbusters on a tough year of school subjects. My husband has been doing double-duty as a full-time “computer guru” with a major company as well as designing new apps on the side. I’ve been volunteering and involved in too many different organizations and events to remember, as well as I’m homeschooling my teens.
For 12 weeks we’ve done these things and much more…and. we. are. toast. Burned out. Stressed.
We need relief soon or we’re gonna blow. And so, to remedy our dilemma…we’re taking a roadtrip!
Catz and I were already planning a trip to the Relevant conference in PA. But my amazing family needs a vacation where the four of us can spend time with each other, not split up in a hotel. So I’m selling our two tickets and we’re all going somewhere else instead. Together.
My family thrives on roadtrips and adventure! The last time we went away was two years ago. Two years! You know how people calculate dog years? For us, two years with no vacation is like 10 traveler’s years. Waay too long!
The original driving plan for Catz and me was to stop along our trip and enjoy a couple of spots from Florida to Pennsylvania. But now that the whole crew is going, we’re making it a little bigger. We haven’t decided yet if we’re taking the D.C. route to enjoy our nation’s capitol {Smithsonian!!}, or going up the Blue Ridge Parkway to marvel at the mountains and fall leaves.
But either way, the most important thing will happen: we’ll be relaxed and together. And I know that is part of God’s plan.

Excited for you! Sad you won't be at Relevant, but glad I got to meet you through our fun little meet-up!
Glad you guys will get a break but sad Relevant will be missing a mother/daughter combo. But God's plans are in fact sometimes better!
