Hello Again

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Well, I guess I'm saying sorry to me! I enjoy this so much but just haven't been in the mood. I have a lot of pics to share. We went to Utah to visit David's parents for their 40th anniversary. It was a complete surprise that was in the works for a year! It was great to have David's family together. It had been five years since the last time and now there are three grandsons to the addition.

It's odd for me because I grew up with my family and lived near them until I met and married David. I of course get to see my family more because of Kristen. I go home every Christmas for almost 2 weeks to visit her which obviously means the rest of my family and some friends as well. But even now it's only once a year. When we were in Hawaii, I saw them a bit more with the summer travel. I miss them more now that I live so close but feel so far away. And now that I'm closer I feel they should make the trip to see me. But I'm done having babies so no one makes the effort to come! That's ok, I know everyone has to work and it's hard in this economy! Heck, I'm dreading the visit at Christmas now because of the expense.

Airfare went up $40 roundtrip to FL in a day. I was honestly thinking it might go down a bit with gas dropping but nope, airlines dropped flights instead so cost went up again. I wouldn't mind driving if Ryan was better in the car. I know JT can do the ride with minimum complaints but Ryan can't even make it to the airport (an hour and a half) without complaining. SO, David and I have to decide what's more important. A 14 plus hour drive with a night at a hotel and Ryan miserabe the entire trip, which makes me insane and hard to ride with, or an expensive but quick 4 hour plane ride to FL. Guess time will tell!

Enough of my ramblings. Just wanted people to know I'm still here and I hope to get pictures from the trip up soon. You can always visit my sister in laws blog to see them first though!

Happy Halloween too!
