I know it's been over 3 months since I last posted but you gotta cut me some slack. I've been a busy girl!!
We got the house under contract in March and I had to start packing. It seemed like every time I put something in a box, something else would pop up in its place. Either that or someone would start asking where such and such was (even though they hadn't touched it in YEARS)!! :) Oh well... I guess that's the way it goes.
In May Renee came out for a visit. We had a lot of fun!! Olivia flew back to Arizona with her for a weeks vacation. She had a blast. Its the first time she has been away from home for that long. I don't think she wanted to come back home.
Gavin went to Louisville the same week to visit Sarah, Aaron, and the twins. Sarah said he wasn't too thrilled about the twins crying. He had a lot of fun though.
Where was I during all this free time?? :) I was in the Bahamas with my hubby :) Woo Hoo!!! We went with several other couples from his office (a company trip).
We had a great time. We stayed at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island. Our room and view were gorgeous. We ate and ate and downed a few Bahama Mamas as well. We went down to the beach at night and sat and stared at the stars. It was so peaceful listening to the ocean.
We went shopping downtown, sailed around the island on a catamaran, stared at the ENORMOUS cruise ships in the harbor, gambled a little, floated around the lazy river, and found the shadiest spot in one of the many pools. Leave it to Casper to search out the shade in paradise. :) I had a wonderful massage at the spa one day. Joey played golf with some of the guys at the country club. We even went to a theater at the resort and saw Avatar on the big screen (free for guests).
My most memorable moment was parasailing. We tried it in the Dominican Republic and I LOVED it so of course I had to do it again!! Joey put on a brave face and went with me again. It is so beautiful being hundreds of feet up in the air and being able to see for miles. After that, we went jet skiing for a little bit.
Of course, all good things must come to an end and Joey had to drag me kicking and screaming back home :( Oh well.
Once we were home, I had to finish packing the house because the move was only a week away.
I had the pleasure to babysit the twins for Sarah and Aaron's anniversary. Olivia went with me to help. I couldn't have done it without her!! My hat is off to Sarah for handling both of them on a daily basis. They were perfect angels and we had such a good time with them. Can't wait to do it again!!
Needless to say...the move didn't go a smoothly as I had planned, but that's a long, long story! The bottom line is that we are now happily in our cozy new home!! It's a little dollhouse. The kids love it and the neighborhood is really nice. We are so thankful everything worked out.
We had a wonderful Father's day and Fourth of July with our friends and family. Of course it was bittersweet but you make the best of the situation. Missy would be proud!!
So that's the last 3 months in a nutshell...now it's time to kick back and relax. LOL...yeah right!!!
