Marriage retreat blues

We should have known better but we didn't listen to our instincts Friday night. I knew Carsten was coming down with something because he just wasn't himself, but we decided to try and go to our marriage retreat anyway. Yeah, that lasted about 30 minutes at the most. We got to the hotel and we already knew that it wasn't going to be pretty. Carsten was vomiting all in the hallway and at dinner, I'm sure people were thinking, there's no way I'm going to leave my kid in the nursery with that kid! We were going to try and just go back to the room and let him rest that night hoping he would be better on Saturday morning right about when I realized that I had forgotten his feeding bags for the night feeds, oops:) So, there we go packing everything up that took us two hours to pack just 30 minutes after we got there. Let's just say it was a long silent ride home. Nights like that remind us that our life is going to be different from others, at least right now anyway. Carsten is just really difficult when he's sick, his reflux is horrible and we need to learn to just stay home when we know it's coming on. So that was our "weekend retreat". Carsten is slowly getting better now, we think it was some kind of stomach bug or flu again. We did get to watch Fireproof last night which was pretty good so at least we did something for our marriage:) Anyway, that was our weekend at the Bridges household, hope everyone has a great Sunday!!

Love,
Momma Bridges
