We are home!

A month is a really long time to go on vacation.  We had such a GREAT time, but it sure does feel good to be home.  My house suddenly seems 10 times larger than normal, because we've been staying in whatever small space we could find at the various houses we've visited.  I'm very excited to not be living out of a suitcase anymore.  We spent time with so many people we miss and love while in Utah and Idaho!

My thoughts are all over the place.  I have so much to catch up on, but I don't have the time right now.  There's only one week until the end of an era for me.  School starts on the 15th and I'm DREADING the quiet house during the day when all my kids will be in full-time school.  I hate change in all shapes and sizes, and this is a doozy.  I am already making lists of all the projects I will work on before my college classes begin in September.

Ryan loved being in Utah so much that he is suggesting we move back there.  Notice I mentioned the word "suggesting," so nobody start thinking we are moving.  There are so many reasons I loved living in Utah and so many reasons I love NOT living in Utah.  He has convinced the three youngest kids that a move would be a great thing, but Brevan is DEAD SET on not leaving.  He needs stability in life more than any child I've ever known.  I think Ryan has lost his mind because I love our lives here in Missouri.

I have so much laundry to catch up on, the suitcases haven't been unpacked, we don't have any groceries in the kitchen, the kids go to bed at midnight and get up at 10 or 11, there are a couple bills I forgot to pay while on vacation, and the library is not happy about the 20 overdue books.  It's just another day in paradise!
