"We'll Be There, We'll Be There..."

"... in the next 24 hours, we'll be there!"

Can't wait - looking forward to spending the next two weeks relaxing, playing and enjoying family!

A quick weekend recap;

Saturday we played hookie from church. They had a social/service/event where everyone was invited on a hike. It was up 3 1/2 miles a mountain side. Natalie isn't up to that yet and we didn't wanna carry her. :) So we didn't go to that, we didn't want to go to church cuz it'd be like ghost-town around there. So we played hookie, slept in - as late as the girls would let us. We went to a beautiful waterfall, then decided to go for a nice walk around a lake.

It's 3 miles around the lake - and unfortunatly we ended up carrying the girls well over half way. OUCH My back still feelin' it. It was still very beautiful and we did enjoy most of it! :)

Saturday night we went to the church bonfire and enjoyed some yummy roasted weinies and friends and the awesome scent of burning wood in the open. That was AWESOME! Of course, Doreen and the girls enjoyed Cedar Lake veggie dogs and I scarfed down the best Hebrew Nationals this side of the Rockies.

Sunday we did lots of cleaning up around here. I did the garage and shed (with Lots of Doreen's help), the inside and outside of both cars and Doreen did a thorough inside cleaning getting ready for our trip out west.

Today Doreen did a TON more here at home while I had a bunch of loose ends at work to tie up today. Got all but one done and that one was insignificant.

We've been cleaning and packing and getting ready. The girls have been 'hyped' all day long. They can't wait and neither can we! :)

All the responsibilites of work and church and more is slowly easing off our shoulders. Not completely there yet, but getting there and hopefully by the time we step on that airplane - we'll be doing good!

Oh yeah!
