North Carolina or Bust....

We have been really busy lately and I have slacked on my blogging. About two weeks ago Michael received a call to go and temp a store in North Carolina, so we have been preparing for him to leave this morning. Other than work, we have been spending a lot of family time. We would love Michael to have a store of his own, and in order to get there you have to do a little traveling. The kids and I already have a couple of trips planned to go and visit, and are going to be staying busy in the mean time to help the time pass quickly! I will be trying hard to keep up with the blog so Michael can keep up with it too, but I'm gonna be honest...it might get pushed to the side since I'll be kicking it by myself! We are very excited about the opportunity we have been given and are excited to see what doors God opens for us.

 

Here is Michael and the boys last month in Disney world!

I am so happy when we have a holiday during the week, it makes the week go by so fast. Only a few more days before Michael comes home and we are all excited. It has gone by fast, but we are ready to see him. Since school is out Christian is at daycare full time, and is loving it. I really love the place we use, they are small, have only 2 locations and owned by a husband and wife. They have so many things planned for them this summer. Each week is devoted to a different place, this week is Italy week. They do activities all day that have something to do with Italy. They have a field trip planned each week, and this week was to Stevie B’s, a local pizza place. They took the kids on a tour of the place, in the kitchen and each kid got to make their own pizza. That is all Christian talked about last night. They also have an in ground pool so on the other days they spend time swimming.

Tonight we went out to dinner with Jennifer, she’s my best friend since we met in 9th grade. She is awesome and the kids love her. She doesn’t live close anymore so any chance we have to meet up we do. She teaches so I’m a little jealous that she is out for the summer!!

Sweet Home Alabama......

I like the song, and I love the movie; Alabama is where Michael is headed today and will be for the next 2 weeks! He got the call late Friday afternoon, and was on the road this morning. So for the next 2 weeks it's just me and the boys, YIKES!! Michael has traveled before, a lot while I was pregnant with Christian but just recently started traveling again. He was gone for a little over a week at Christmas time, and we survived that so we will survive this. We have a lot going on over the next couple of weeks that I'm sure it will go by quickly. Christian is having some dental work done Tuesday, more on that to come. Wednesday is the last day of school, and Friday we are leaving to head up to Kentucky! We will be returning on Monday, and then later in the week meeting up with Jennifer for dinner. Saturday the 5th I am considering running my first ever 5k, so we will see how that goes. Before you know it, it will be the 6th and Michael will be home. The key is to stay busy that way the boys won't have to much time to miss him. I'm sure they'll get by with phone calls, pictures via text, and the occasional surprises we packed in his suitcase while he wasn't looking! Have fun in Alabama, and we will see you when you get home!
