I'm not sure why I didn't think sooner to leave my children and run off with my husband, but for the first time...I DID!!! And even though it was only for one night, it was wonderful and rejuvenating and blissful. My wonderful friend Tammy agreed to take my kids and we took Scarlett. One kid to me, is like having no kids!! We went shopping in Portland and then on to Cannon Beach. I've learned from this that it's totally possible and absolutely necessary to run away once in a while...and being with Chris made it completely wonderful.
