Back to Reality!!!

What a crazy week it's been here for us.....we made it home, safe & sound, from a great vacation.  We got to experience tropical storm Andrea, we went to Mote Marine Aquarium, shopped, but pretty much loafed around the condo all week.  It was a week of nothing planned and letting the day take us where it may!  That is our type of vacation.  The boys had a great time in the ocean, especially Colin, he loved all the waves and did great.  He loved to run in and out of the water and would not pee in the ocean, so he would come to get us and off we'd go to the condo...LOL!  Ethan, liked the ocean, but it was a little rough and after a while he'd ask to go to the pool, so off we'd go.  =)  He made some new friends Aiden and Logan, so it helped to have them there to keep him entertained.  Our condo (#130) was right in the pool area, which we loved, so it was convenient!  The storm hit on Thursday and man, it was crazy for a bit; however, we went out to experience it & see the action.  There were crazy surfers in the water; even though, there were warnings about the rip currents.  They were neat to watch!!! After an afternoon of being indoors, mostly, we were ready to get out and enjoy the circle and get some ice cream.  Not sure why, but this vacation was really relaxing and definitely a great one.  We are looking forward to next year already and now, our group has expanded for the next trip....lol!  It was a great time, but it was even better to be home.  Brenton and I are blessed with great little travelers, so that made the trip home a fun one.  Ethan insisted on taking all his pillow pals (aka: his kids) and they came in handy when the boys were sleeping.  Anyway, it was a wonderful trip, but glad to be home and I will post pics soon......Now to get this move behind us!  We are so excited to finally be where we want to be!  Last year, when Brenton and I sat down with our financial advisor, we made a 5 year plan and set some goals....well, here we are year 2 accomplishing them.  Man, does that feel good, too!  It feels good to be in a spacious home now, let me tell you!  I finally feel a sense of "home" and Brenton is in love....he hated our old house, so to finally see him happy, does my heart good!  We love the community, too.  We are within walking distance of all sorts of things and stuff that will get the boys out of the house....Ethan, walked down the street w/ Justise and Jamisyn to the library, got some ice cream, and as I watched them walk back home I realized this is the place we've been waiting for....I'm really looking forward to making this house our home, but most of all, watching our boys grow up in it!
