busy, busy, busy...

well, it's already wednesday night & we don't have much longer to pack & get ready to leave... we're leaving on the 16th, heading to myrtle beach, south carolina... we've always taken the kids & gone on a nice vacation every year since we've been married... we'd usually either go over spring break or else we'd take a week + & head off sometime during the summer... we started 'thinking' about adopting in 2000, prayed about it in 2001, started paperwork in 2002 & kiara came home in 2003... needless to say, we've not had a vacation since 1999 & so we're off!... we were planning this trip for some time now & talked to our best friends (kyle & angela) & asked them to go along with us... we'll have our 4 girls (brit 14y, kiara 4y, ruby 3y & karleigh 2y) & also have their 3 kids (sanite 6y, noah 4y & maddie turns 2y while we're gone!!)... so, who wants to tag along, going with 5 kiddos, all 6 & under, do we have any takers??... it does look as if barbara might meet up with us while we're gone & 'vacation' a bit too (she's such a sucker when it comes to her kiddos)!!... we're really excited & know that no matter what, it'll be a memorable trip for sure *smile*... dustin will be staying here, taking care of our cats & also getting our mail, so that's all taken care of... we're praying that we all stay healthy & well while we're gone & can soak up the rays & bring them home with us!!... we'll be traveling to TN on the 16th, then on in to SC on the 17th... we'll not be leaving SC until the 25th so when we get home on the 26th or so, we'll need to catch up on sleep!... while we're in SC, we're planning on heading to a theme park 1 day, an aquarium 1 day, the beach several days & other than that, we'll shop, the guys will play golf & do whatever we want!!... i'll write more when i can...
