If you are the one who plans the family vacation then you know the pressure of making sure it is a good one. Each member of our family has a different interest and we want to make sure this vacation has something for everyone. With Bryan’s new iPhone 3Gs I’m sure there will be video of our vacation posted on his blog.

I have done my research online, talked to those who have recently visited, and made all our reservations. I decided to take snacks, drinks and some meals with us to offset the cost. Since we are not the average family with 2 kids we require a suite and the best deal includes a kitchen.

Right now I am sorting socks and laundry. 5 people have a lot of socks. I’m working on my to do list too. This list seems to keep getting longer.

Only 5 more days!

The past month has been extremely enjoyable. I am loving the opportunity I have of taking care of my family. Washing clothes and cooking dinner may not seem like a dream life to you, but I am loving every moment.

Today, I had the amazing opportunity of spending time with Robin McGee. We are not related by blood, but marriage. She is Kevin McGee’s wife, and Kevin is Bryan’s cousin. We were all married the same summer. I am sure there are some pictures somewhere of us at the bridal shower the family gave us together.

Kevin and Robin are missionaries in Africa, and they have three beautiful children. Robin and I only see each other every few years and I love picking back up where we left off. I feel like we never miss a beat.

I love hanging out with people who love life and they do. No matter what they have been through they still have joy and enjoy life.
