Dear you….

I have been thinking about the North Carolina trip. I want you to know that I really am looking forward to it. But if I’m being honest, I’m also carrying a little heaviness with it. We’re not in the best place right now. I remember when we had trips that used to feel soft but lately it’s been tense or uncertain. I miss when things felt easy. Maybe this trip is a chance to find a piece of that again.

You mentioned this trip is important. That stuck with me and I am in the same boat. I keep thinking about how much we put into planning things like this, hoping that maybe this time it’ll feel different. I want that too. I want this one to go well. I think we both do.

I know a trip can’t fix everything. But maybe it can help remind us why we even try to fix things in the first place.

Nervous, but hopeful. Let’s just try to show up for it, and for each other. No pressure to make it perfect…
