So the trip is booked and will take place the 26th thru the 28th. She sounds excited. I am going to avoid relationship talk at all costs. I am hoping that she won't throw any curve balls that I can't handle. My hope is that we will have a great time and then, after a cooling period, start to date more regularly after this trip. My current plan is to give her a lot of space immediately following the trip.

Some things to note. Her birthday is two weeks before (13th) and our anniversary is the 23rd. I will probably send her a happy birthday text on her birthday and not even mention the anniversary.
