Last night was Bill's first night as an official member of session. This is a different situation for us because we have a tendancy to do everything together. Not for any particular reason, but it just happens that we can carpool to work together and then we have choir together and then we do our grocery shopping together and well that is our life. Bill was asked to be a chaprone for the youth group's week long mission trip this summer (and if he went, I would go too).
Well, here is the rub: We had planned on taking at least a 10 day vacation in April/May. We were going to leave our Missouri home and see my cousin in New York - I haven't visited her since her high school graduation 8 years ago, see Boston, go to Maine, check Niagra, etc. With limited vacation, this would leave us with very little vacation time around the Holidays; making it tight during the holidays since the majority of our family lives out of state. Our only vacation not to visit relatives was our honeymoon 3 years ago.
The youth group mission trip sounds great. It is shorter; it is closer; it is for an area that needs it. They asked Bill because the need a male chaprone and haven't found anyone yet. The kids are great and a lot of fun. But it is in Oklahoma...in JULY! Yuck. We would probably be sleeping in seperate buidings being that we will be chaprones.
Then there is the last issue. We have talked about/planned on trying to get pregnant this summer. So, if everything goes well...I could be pregnant or we could be missing out on an opportunity to try. If I was pregnant, I wouldn't be at a point I would want to tell anyway and well if you are throwing up every morning the girls are going to freak out and the other chaprones are probably going to guess. Which means even if you tell people not to tell, by the time you get back, half the church is going to know.
I'm really leaning towards vacation. The fact is that we won't get another opportunity for years to go on a vacation just the two of us if things go as planned. I wish we could do both. But life is full of choices to be made.
