Getting ready for our trip

For 2010, Jon's company and department worked lots of hard, long hours to hit their revenue goals. There were a couple AMAZING rewards that were promised if they did. A large bonus and a vacation on the company. With a very rough holiday and lots of unforseen problems, they were still able to make the goal.

We thought we'd be going on vacation around June, but the middle of April they announced that we were going to Costa Rica during the last week in April. We had about two and a half weeks to get ready. We started Jon's passport back in February but still we didn't have it. They couldn't guarantee it would get here in time, so we had to pay an additional expedite fee to get it in time. And we had to expedite my passport completely. Luckily, mine came in 10 days! Then there was a flight to book. Maryanne, Jon's mom came and stayed with the boys while we were gone. Then there was shopping to be done. We didn't have stuff for a tropical vacation. So pretty much the middle part of April was preschool, soccer games, cleaning and organizing the house and running to provo to get everything we'd need and make sure the boys had what they'd need while at home.  Not to mention Easter was 2 days before we were leaving.  Although it was a really stressful couple weeks for me, everything worked out and got done.
