Since our move to NC in January (actually December 31, 2005), I've been emailing weekly updates to friends and family. Most are in Florida, but others are scattered around the country. It's been a nice way to keep in touch, giving both family updates and sharing exciting information about our church. I'm going to attempt to post my weekly update as a blog entry rather than email and see if it sticks...

Only two days until we take our first family vacation in over 2 years. Any time off David's had has been used for long weekends and such to Florida, and with travel time involoved, the 2-3 days he has feel less than relaxing. The kids and I have been more fortunate to have lengthy trips away, but again, throw in a 12 hour drive with 2 preschoolers, and "vacation" doesn't quite seem like the right word!

Tomorrow afternoon we head to Sunset Beach, NC. David is almost giddy, except he's David, so it takes the form of an occassional smile. But I know he's dancing inside! We'll be there until Saturday...maybe next year he'll take an entire week. It's about 3 1/2 hours from here, a couple DVDs and a snack and we should make it with minimal fussing from the backseat. We'll get to celebrate both the 4th and David's 34th at the beach...FUN!

I hope everyone enjoys a fantastic 4th. Stay cool Florida-folk.
