A Cabin In The Woods
We drove up the snowy, winding road towards the cozy A-frame cabin at the top of the hill. A place too familiar to us; a breath of fresh air even on this cold night. In the first year of our marriage, before the kids, we swore to make it a tradition to take a weekend off every year to ourselves. 5 years and three children later, weāre here like clockwork, in the last week in December to spend time away from the kids. Yet in the last three years, itās been more about getting away from the endless activities with work, our business, and the kids than it has been about spending time with each other.

It is a revelation of who you are in totality. And trust me, it shows in every word you write and every feeling you express no matter how hard you try to conceal it.
