Very slowly we're starting to realize how drastically different our lives are going to be in just a few short months. Beginning an MBA program is one thing, but starting that program at the same time as welcoming your first baby to the world is something else entirely. Two will become three and one on one time will be a scarce commodity.
With that in mind, Mr. F and I went on a staycation for Mother's Day this year. Taking advantage of one of the few free weekends we have left before the baby comes, we hightailed it to Lake Lanier for a few hours of sun, floating, and togetherness.
It reminded me so much of some of our adventures in Cyprus. Whenever we had a free Saturday, we would hop in our trusty little Mazda Familia and drive all over the island until we found a place that suited us. My belly has been limiting distance and ramblings, but we still found a perfect spot for the day. We talked, Mr. F napped and read. Me? I floated. For hours I floated in a chilly lake, embracing the fleeting sensation of weightlessness and an ache free body.
This will sound very, very cheesy, but the best part of the day was just being with Mr. F. We know our time is limited now and seem to be savouring it more than ever. To have a day to just be was bliss. To leisurely find moments for conversation, to laugh over things only we find funny, to feed a mutual hankering for Mexican food. To do what we wanted and do it together was such a sweet, wonderful gift.
