Anniversary and an unexpected cousin slumber

Happy 3rd Anniversary to me and my loving husband, this past Tuesday, April 16th!  I was impatiently awaiting Jason to get home so we could continue our ongoing search for a new home...and had just dialed his number to give him the ole 'you're so late, where are you!!??' , when he busted through the door with one of the most beautiful orchids I have ever seen.  'Happy Anniversary Bugs!" So beautiful and sweet.  Lu, Jason and I took off for the next 2 hours and visited some homes we had been eyeing...no luck yet, but it was still fun.  We also drove past a school where Lucia would probably attend, if we ended up finding a house in that part of town.  She's only almost 2 but I'm afraid school and growing up will come up fast...
After a generous and enthusiastic offer to 'birdwatch' we then dropped off Lucia at Laura and Adam's house and Jason and I had a delicious dinner at our favorite restaurant, Tables, owned by our friends Amy and Dustin Barrett.   www.tablesonkearney.com YUM!  Great little Anniversary. Thanks Huffs and Barretts!  The week would only continue to get better...perhaps?!
I knew the following day, Wednesday would be a somewhat busy day as I had to mentally and physically get ready to go on a highly anticipated girls trip to Mexico to celebrate my sister and amazing friend, Kimmy's BIG 40th b-day!  Although her birthday isn't until June, my baby girl number 2 will be arriving right around that date, so Kim pushed the trip up a few months so we all could go.  So...Wednesday was set aside to pack and go over last minute details with Jason watching Lu, all by himself.  Nervous Mom am I- YES!
Anchor Center in the morning, folding laundry in the afternoon, and about to start packing, when I receive a phone call from Jason's gym.  Jason was doing one of his most favorite things, CrossFit, when a 'power clean' went wrong, and he broke his arm!!!
ER for the next 5 hours, and x-rays of a big fracture, pointing to surgery...ugh!  Once I knew he was ok, I couldn't help but think...worst timing EVER!  So...here it is Thursday night, and I'm cuddled in the spare bedroom at Jason's sister's house with Jason and Lucia.  Jason is scheduled to have surgery on his arm Saturday, and I'm a day postponed, but leaving for Mexico bright and early tomorrow morning.
Back in forth, do I go, do I not go...I can't go, I can't NOT go.  Lucia is a lot of work, Lucia will do great.  Jason is having surgery, I need to be here,  he's in good hands regardless if I'm here or not..Ugh..what to do!!!
Jason would only get mad, really mad, when I said I shouldn't, wouldn't, couldn't go..."Lu will be fine, everything will be ok.." so here I am writing it out that I'm heading to Mexico for 3 nights with my husband having a broken arm, surgery, and my Lubird getting taken care of by his loving, gracious, awesome family.
Thank you Ashley and Lee for offering, without hesitation and with enthusiasm to take care of Jason and Lu. Thank you Linda and Mario for helping out immensely too.
I know my precious bird is in good hands, and if you were not here I would, NO DOUBT, be canceling my trip.
I love you, Lucia! I love you Jason(but please don't break anything again- ouch! not to mention we need fully functioning dad in less than 2 months! ) I love you Hunts and Mapellis!  Thank you to my mom for watching Kim and Joey's kids!
So blessed to have this family! Thank you God and PLEASE watch over everyone this weekend. Lucia will love spending time with her relatives and especially Kayla and Taylor on her first cousin slumber weekend!
Thank you Emelio for watching Frieda and Blue!
Happy 1st b-day to Taylor, Happy 2nd b-day to Lizzie!

Happy Early B-day Kimmy! I'll see you with my giant 33 week old baby belly manana!
