Vacations are the COOLEST!!!

[♥Starlene]

Im home, Im home Im home!!

I had such and AMAZING time seeing my family and friends, Saffy, Anamere, Angela, Nate... and of course all the extended family's family, Stacy, Chris, Jackie, Brody, Sara, and cant forget Cindy the bunny and Jackson the pup!! (I am in love with both Cindy & Jackson!!!) I am just honored to have been able to spend so much time with all of you! Thank you all SOOO very much for all the hospitality and love you showed to me and my kids while we were there, seriously I am like getting all mushy eyed just thinking about you all! I guess I saved the "see ya later" tears till now!

I cant say thank you enough for everything though,,, I feel so blessed to have met all of you and,,, yes Im a mushy-you-know-what now!

I am excited to plan NEXT SUMMERS trip!!! Aura,,, you better watch out cause the kids and I are already planning on coming your way!!! My son is so super cute, hes like, are we gonna meet Fairy next year??? I think he wants to meet a real live fairy hehehe!

We decided to collect magnets from all of the states we visited, which we visited 10 states this time around! I cant believe it was that many states,,, but we got all the magnets for them,,, so next year we will be adding a few more from out west to our collection! I told the kids we should travel every year and see another state or few until we see them all, gosh we only have 40 more to go, right? When we make our magnetic USA we will take a picture and share with ya's! We also collected things all throughout our trip and are planning on making a scrap book, there are so many little memories that we have from the last few weeks that I thought a scrap book to hold some of them in would be a great idea, this is my first attempt at scrap booking so it should be fun!

I know this may sound nutty to a lot of you, but I TOTALLY enjoyed driving! It was such a nice experience to just hang with the kids and drive and see the world, we took hundreds of pictures, literally, all 3 of us were armed with a digital camera and we had to download some on the computer before we left so we could keep taking them hehehe! I have never experienced a road trip like that before, I have driven long distances but it has been years and it was always with another adult so this was really interesting for it to be just me and the kids. I actually had a little anxiety when I first left home, it was like, gosh I am LEAVING the place I am at ALL THE TIME, to go somewhere new, it was almost nerve wracking because I have grown so rooted to my home and my area, but gosh after the first night we were planning next years trip!! I am so very grateful for all the experiences I have been able to have during my trip, I am sure I will ramble about it for a long time! Grateful is the best word to describe it too, just awesome gratitude!

The trip home was great and LONNNNNG!!! We drove straight through it took us from 9ish in the morning Saturday till 6ish in the morning Sunday (today),,, talk about pheeewwwww once we got here!! I just got up from a nice long SLEEP! We did lots of traveling Reiki on the lands, on the car, on everything, just so we could have a wonderful and nice trip and we totally did!

Ok so off my ramble I will go,,, I can just go on for days hehehe,,, but I will stop for now! Once I get my bearings back I will post pictures and stuff to share with everyone!

(((hugs)))

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the trip home. It was an amazing experience for us too! I miss having everyone here!

I think I'm still processing all of the events. It's like I'm sooo tired now! I had all this extra energy and now I'm all sleepy. It was just an amazing adventure for us and we didnt' even leave home (or far from it).

Meeting You, Saffy and your family's was just so wonderful. I'm just filled with gratitude. Just a sense of Awe yanno?

Missing giving you guys hugs. Been thinking about you all alot.

So glad to hear you made it home. I'm still trying to wake up this morning.

Awww, Im so glad we got to meet ya too Anamere! Your family is so cool! Big (((((hugs))))))

[saffy]

it was great getting to meet you all. Like Star said, seeing where you sit and stuff you talk about, like the back yard and stuff. I completely understand why you call that garage the "man cave" that cracks me up.

[Anamere]

gotta love the man cave, right? Heh heh. Too funny!

[♥Starlene]

omg I just keep cracking up everytime i think of Chris and Liz talking about ska dancing and his little interpretation of it,,, it makes me crack up just thinking about it.... do you guys remember that,,, he was all, what do you do if you dont run into each other,,, just growl at each other? lmao lmao lmao!!!
