What Honeymoon?

When my husband and I married over 12 years ago, we were broke. We were in the middle of a visitation court battle with his ex who wasn't allowing him to have visitation with their son in his home. Visitation was ordered by the court but after all those months of fighting through the attorneys and the bickering outside of the court room as well, who had the money or the time to plan a romantic honeymoon away? We didn't. We were happy together though and still are. Nobody could change that no matter what they did.

My husband and I have talked about renewing our vows and having that big party we didn't have the first time. It'd be a celebration not only of our love for each other now, but what we went through with and for each other. I am sure other stepmoms might be able to relate to that. We certainly walk through some hot coals to keep our family healthy and sane. Of course, we'd also have to have that honeymoon we never had either. After 12 years and still being in love, why shouldn't we plan a great getaway to someplace like St. Barts villa rentals where they have romantic beaches, unforgettable sunsets and wonderful restaurants nearby? The fantastic views alone would be phenomenal.

We are definitely going to plan a vow renewal and honeymoon in the future. It might not be until my stepkids turn 18 but it will happen!
