Good Morning Sunhine!!!

So here it is....the LAST double digit day of my countdown!! Ten more days and I will be heading down to florida!!!!! YAY!!!

So first I want to say thank you for the comments on here, Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Chrissy, and Amanda. And the "two Chimps off the old block" made me laugh out loud at the desk grandma!, but the phone call message was so sweet you made me and brian both teary eyed. So Thank you for loving Brian so much everyone, and for making me smile in the meanwhile! :)

Second, the party! I took no pictures because I am a moron, and you all know that. So there is no photo record of me slaving away for 4 hours in the kitchen yesterday getting everything ready! But the food was wonderful! My mac and cheese is to die for, my coconut cake was a HUGE beautiful success, and the hot dogs and brats were an easy meal to fix everyone. The jello shots were delicious...and potant...and the fun was flowing! We had a very nice time. We were not surprised that Brians sister didnt show up because that is par for the course with his family. For brian's sake I made it a point to NOT invite the rest of them (grandparents excluded) because I didnt want to see his face when ...AGAIN.. his family wouldnt be attending something of ours. That will now be par for the course on our behalf. It worked out well. My mom and Steve and the boys came, Kevin and his girl friend Cindy came with their daughter Abbi, Eric and Tiffany came with the boys and bella, and we were there. Laci decided kids were more important than a nap so she never napped, and the kids all did really well! Brian got a few nice things. And he got to enjoy a drink or two as well! I was so tired by the end of the night I was asleep in no time!

Today is Brians actual birthday. We are meeting after work at the mall with the kids and having dinner there. Its nothing massive, but its dinner out and in an environment that the two kids will be better in. Plus I have to pick something up from the mall. My baby is 28 years old today! I told him in 2 years I will have to trade him in for a newer model! ha! He said he felt bad, that he wanted to do something for my birthday...I said, "honey, you are giving me a week in Daytona for my birthday...thats the best gift in the whole world!!!" I think he feels better now. :)

So Last but oh so not least...
The vacation!!!
We are going to make a countdown daisy chain today for christopher. I am freaking out that we are down to 10 days! WOW!!! We feel like we have so much to do still. But I will be a mad list maker as usual and we are starting to plan and buy food items too now! YAY! That is one more step to leaving! Tomorrow we are in the single digits and I couldnt be any more excited!!!

I miss and love you all!!
XOXOXO

Happy Monday!!!!
