Day 89 (June 28) - Note

I made a decision that I am cutting the 90-day challenge a bit short for me. And I am ok with it. Today my fantastic husband and I have been married for 9 years. We went to breakfast and lunch and have plans to go out to dinner and spend the day together. Then tomorrow we are headed out for a weekend away, just the 2 of us. And while I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge I plan to sit back and enjoy today and the whole weekend as much as I did 9 years ago. We have been through a lot together and are stronger for it and this weekend is our reward for 9 years together and a promise for so many more. So, I will eat, drink, be merry and enjoy every second I get with my guy.
