In the meantime...we've managed to find time to have a little fun. We decided that we really needed to make more of an effort to use our camper. So, we have scheduled 5 trips over the next 6 months. Our first trip was over MLK weekend. It was a very cold weekend! We chose to go camping at Lake Livingston State Park. It was a great place to camp even though it was a bit chilly. Below are a few pictures from the trip. Next trip is scheduled for March during the first weekend of Spring Break.
This leads me to my next bit of excitement...over the last several months I have been fortunate enough to reconnect with several of my close girlfriends from High School. We have had a great time on Facebook exchanging messages, pictures, and memories. We have picked up right where we left off and it has been the best gift I could ever ask for. The most exciting part is that timing has fallen into place and we are all getting together for a weekend of fun in Hilton Head, SC in March. Sadly, I will be deserting the planned camping trip. BUT, I am so excited to see my friends. I know it will be a fast, fun weekend but I look forward to it. Good thing I will have the rest of the week off for Spring Break to recover!
The kids are still swimming. Blake is doing well in school and came out with all A's and B's for the first semester. Kendall still loves school. She just made straight A's for the second time this semester. They are both trying to avoid getting the flu that is going around. Hopefully, we avoid it at our house this year!
