We try to surprise each other, once in a while. I have to plan & check , and make sure all my ducks are in a row. This is my nature also. So your big adventure gives me courage to book our trip to Alaska, and not to think about the what might or might not happen. 😁❤️
Gosh I love this so much. I am in the thick of book launch season, which means my calendar is overflowing with writing deadlines and podcast interviews, all on top of my regular job. A couple weeks ago southwest was running a crazy flight sale and I spontaneously suggested we take the kids to San Diego. I had a $200 southwest voucher sitting in a drawer and we are now flying our whole family down in a few weeks for just over $300! My grandparents sent us money for Christmas and we’re using that money to buy tickets to the zoo. I am such a planner, and also a type 3 on the enneagram who tends to become a total workaholic in stress seasons ... this trip will be a gift, but it was also a gift that I even had the *desire* to be spontaneous in this season. A mark of the work God has been doing in me these last several years re: rest. ❤️ all of that to say: I resonate with this so much and I’m so glad you got away!
I can't imagine the stress of a book launch on top of all the regular life stuff! Good for you for acting on that spontaneous desire. I'm thinking it's a spiritual gift—to be spontaneous in the face of our Best Laid Plans. Enjoy the heck out of your time! I hope it's restful in all the ways you need.
Oh my friend. how this made me smile--to "hear" your voice through your words and also rejoice with tears at the goodness of God. How faithful He is! And here's to 'spontaneous plans' (except for going to Vegas!)
Love your spontaneous adventure?

How fun, Terry! I hope you book the trip ; )
