We made it back from our trip to Key West. The four days flew by in a blur. But not for the reason that my time in Key West used to be blurry. Yes, this trip was much different than trips of the past but, like usual, we had an amazing time.
I love the Keys. Everything is so laid back and everyone operates at a slower pace. Throw in gorgeous weather and beautiful sunsets and you've got my idea of paradise. We met up with Joe's sister, Annie, and her husband, Steve, and Joe's uncle George. It was a mini family reunion. We stayed at a cute little place that had little cottages that shared a courtyard area with a pool. It was really nice.
I obviously wasn't expected to drink but I did venture into a couple of bars, sipped on some water, and watched the hilarity unfold. The trip was a celebration of Joe's and Steve's birthdays which fall 3 days apart. A little side note on Steve... he's like 6'4" or 6'5".... Joe is not. To commemorate their birthdays, Steve commissioned some T-shirts for everyone that had his and Joe's heads superimposed on the heads of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito from the cover of their movie Twins. Hilarious. So on the first night we all wore our T-shirts out on the town. There are pictures floating around that I can't wait to get my hands on.
I didn't make it much past 9:30pm on any night we were there but everyone else had quite the time out on the town. I actually really enjoyed just wandering the streets, walking in and out of the shops, and just taking in the sights. We lounged on the beach one day and Annie and I got our toes done. We ate A LOT. Nothing good either. I'm feeling pretty miserable today and actually looking forward to getting my eating back on track. Last night we walked down to the waterfront to eat dinner and watch the sun go down. It was the perfect end to another great vacation. I've put a couple of pictures in the family album.
Other than vacation, things are going well. I seem to still be pregnant. I'm at least exhibiting all the symptoms. As we "speak" the buttons on my shirt are getting closer to popping open and I feel like I could puke on my computer at any second. I'm happy though. Symptoms seem to reassure me. I just can not shake the terror of something bad happening. I'm trying so hard just to enjoy every moment but, I swear, I'm essentially holding my breath waiting for the moment when this is no longer real. I'm hoping that as time goes on, I'll feel better and more comfortable.
Anyway, hope you're all enjoying your week so far! Only a couple of days until the weekend.
