Most people follow life’s path – find the perfect person, get married, go on a honeymoon, buy a home, have babies and live happily ever after. We aren’t most people. Our life order is a bit different – we managed to get step one right by finding each other, but the remaining steps didn’t go quite as planned. As most of you know, we went on to have a baby, bought a home, got married, had another baby and now we’re finally taking the time to go on our honeymoon.
I’ve always thought age spacing between children was important. Since we shook things up by having a baby first, after we got married I wanted to try for our second as soon as possible. If that meant we’d have to wait for our honeymoon, than so be it!
The day we were finally going to book I thought it would be a good idea to take a pregnancy test just to be safe. Sure enough, it was positive and our trip was postponed. While I was looking forward to sand, sun and a screwdriver – it was worth the wait.
Not only have we booked our trip to Costa Rica for April but we now have a complete family with two beautiful children – who allow us to appreciate our upcoming vacation even more. While we might not have followed the typical plan, we’re sure to live happily ever after – at least in Costa Rica where the drinks are free!
