Well, My husband and I realized something this past week..

we are not spring chickens anymore!! We used to be able to do the drive down to Florida, straight through no problems...this time, phew..it was torture going and coming we pushed because we had to be back for something and we are paying for it bigtime...sooo beat. We did everything keeping each other awake for our trip...we named all 15 of the children we might have some day..middle names too. We also discussed what we were going to make for dinner each night this month. And my husbadn who has never sang in front of me, was singing sesame street in the car with me (thats how I know he was really tired). So we decided already, that when we go down next year we are going to have to do it in two days as age has snuck up on us!!

But, we had an awesome time down in Florida, even though it was FREEZING the whole week we were there. It was a great excuse to go out and buy myself a new winter wardrobe while down there. It was finally nice on Thanksgiving day!! We had a great time with my dad and stepmom, my nieces, stepbrother, my brother and my aunts. I love getting together with my family and my dad was soo happy to have his kids down there with him. I detected a tear when we were pulling out to head home...from both of us. The best is my DH and dad totally bonded down there that could be scary They bought the turkey together..thats a huge step for my dad, sharing that experience with someone else
I am toally depressed being back home. I want to move south sooooooooo bad, but its just not in the cards for us. I feel more at home down there than here. But DH and I did seriously discuss in our 20 hour ride about moving off the island. We re just so unhappy here, so we'll see what happens there.

Well, i have to go unpack. We got in 4am Saturday morning, had a first birthday yeaterday from 12-6, which I had to do the decorations for, so we are pooped and still in our jammies. I want to start decorating for Christmas too, but have zero motivation.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and ate lots of turkey. I'll post some pics in a bit. We went to the zoo down there and there were some pretty funky animals I had never seen before so i'll post them too.

Have a great rest of the weekend!!
