Last night Allen and I returned home from our third trip in five weeks. Let me say that again: THREE TRIPS IN FIVE WEEKS. We were out of town for 16 out of the last 39 days. “Are you crazy?” you might ask. The short answer is simply yes. In the beginning of August we spent three days in Chicago visiting my cousin Martha. The next week we drove to Gulf Shores, AL to spend a week on the beach with my family. Aside from the jelly fish, the trip was awesome. And finally, we went to WI to visit our good friends Mark and Chris Keller and their adorbale girls Katie and Alyssa.
In total, we spent approximately 53 hours in our car and traveled more than 3,050 miles. That is a lot of quality bonding time :)
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean to complain. We had so much fun on these trips and we’re so fortunate to be able to take them. When we planned the trips this past winter and spring, we knew we were planning a busy schedule. What we did not know is that I would be pregnant at the time (which has included back pain that is aggervated by sitting for long periods of time).
Needless to say, we’re happy to be home and not planning any other trips beyond Cape Girardeau for the remainder of my pregnancy. (Well except for Allen’s trip next weekend to Vegas, but that does not include me.)
And now the nesting begins. With my energy returning, I have an overwhelming desire to clean and organize. I didn’t think this was suppose to happen until later in the pregnancy, but it’s already in full gear. I cannot begin to imagine how much I will be able to accomplish in six month if this keeps up!
So that’s what we’ve been up to lately. I hope you enjoyed your summer and found time to rest and relax.
