B and I were planning on heading out to Seattle for a wedding this weekend, and had an elaborate plan of driving out there and camping our way through national parks and forests to reach our destination. We figured that since we were both between jobs and the baby isn't here yet, this would be the perfect time to try one of these. We were so excited and got all the camping gear we would need and even some of the food.
And then the kidney infection happened. I got out of the hospital on Tuesday. We were supposed to leave on Thursday. That wasn't going to happen with a 6-months-pregnant lady who was still recovering from a major infection where she couldn't even get herself up and out of the bed. So the trip got cancelled.
We were totally bummed. I was definitely looking forward to this trip, and I couldn't wait to get out of the Chicago suburbs and into some real outdoors. I had done all the planning and all the reserving of campsites and more, and then I was forced to go back and cancel all those things. It made me so sad to think that we weren't even going to make it to the wedding.
But B surprised me. While I was sitting at home, watching the days go by and wishing I were in Yellowstone, as we were supposed to be at that moment, he bought some plane tickets. And now, miracle of all miracles, we are headed to Seattle tomorrow to celebrate with friends at their wedding, then off to Park City, UT, where we will still have a week or so of vacation in beautiful mountains. I can't wait. And, I have the best husband ever. The trip may not be exactly what I was thinking of and planning on, but it is still one of the best things that I could have imagined.
