As a wife, you come to learn things about your husband. Triggers? Ways that his mind works? …something like that.
Three nights ago, I decided to set off one of the triggers I know he has. Here’s a few things to know about Jon.
- He has worked at a job for a number of years to provide for us that he feels less-than-passionate about. Particularly over these last nearly 5 years with my grad school endeavors, he has really commited to this.
- Jon is a passionate person.
- Jon is bored.
- Jon will never complain and is probably even upset that I’ve put this much down somewhere.
- We are thankful for his job.
- Jon loves road trips almost more than he loves me.
Anyway, the other night, this conversation happened:
Kim: So, I have spring break in 4 weeks and we (insert money talk here)
Jon: ::gasps, grabs the laptop and runs upstairs::
So, Jon and Kim World Tour looks like it’s continuing. We’ve worn New Orleans out (that will never be true), we’re saving Seattle for when I graduate, we are well-acquainted with the East Coast.
So, where are we going?
Oh, just here. Super excited.
OH now that is funny….I actually looked up the route for Amtrak from Chicago to the Grand Canyon yesterday. I had no idea there was a train that went there.
Oh my goodness, Kim! That’s too funny.
So excited for you guys – we have always wanted to go to the Grand Canyon – it is on our list of things we really want to see someday. So excited you are planning a fun get a way . . . so so fun!!! Excited for your road trips. Much love!!
Ooh! Exciting! That is somewhere we’ve been dying to go together someday. Post pictures! Are you camping?
EXCITING!

So exciting! The Grand Canyon is definitely on our travel wish list too! Enjoy!
