Vacation

So, anyone heard of swine influenza lately?? ha!! ha!! Allen and I have plans to leave the country together, with no kids, go on a relaxing vacation, for the first time in our lives/marriage, and what happens!?! yep that's right **swine flu** outbreak in Mexico and other locations.

Just so you all know, we are still weighing our options on whether to go now or postpone. No, I don't want to get sick, and NO I definitely do not want to bring some illness back to my children or family or friends! I do however have faith that my Father in Heaven will protect us and if we are not supposed to go, we won't. This has been very frustrating and tiring! I have spent hours on the net looking at every agencies' findings and recommendations (if they have any) and different people say different things. The Media in general always likes to blow things out of proportion. Yes this is serious. But yet, world wide, numbers really have been low so far.... aaahhhh.... This sucks!!

Today I am on a "wait and see".... my biggest fear is we get down there and they close the border and I can't get back to my kids and home. So if you would, I ask for you prayers about the entire situation, that The Lord's will be done in our life.

We are scheduled to fly out of PDX at 6 am tomorrow. We are staying at a hotel by PDX tonight, so no one has to be driving around near 4 am = ) Hopefully my next post will be a happy update about how our awesome trip went. If I don't post again in the next day or two, that means I am most likely enjoying the warm sun and a cold drink with my wonderful man, whom I don't get to spend as much time with as I would like to ; )
