I can't get my pictures to upload. So no pictures right now. We are in a hotel in Toronto, getting ready to relax in Costa Rica. I am so excited. My goal is to sleep, finish at least 2 books (3, depending on what activities/excursions we participate in), and get a super-wicked tan. I can feel my spirits lifting already - guaranteed, if I wasn't a Christian, I'd worship the sun. And if I didn't love and need my family and friends so much, I'd be living in Australia. We saw many people returning from their holiday at the TO airport today, and I only knew that a lot of them were returning because of the bags they were carrying and by hearing droplets of conversations. No one is going to wonder which leg of my holiday I'm on when they see me next week!! :)

If any of you see Jared & Ayda while we're away, give them a kiss & hug from Ryan & I, because we are going to be thinking about them A LOT and missing them even more. But we know that we will be better parents to them (and better husband & wife to each other!) because of this precious time with just the two of us.
