TN Bound!

By this time tomorrow we will be on the road for MEMPHIS! I am excited and feel pretty organized and ready to take off. The one road bump is just that we have to take the dogs to be boarded first thing in the AM which prevents me from packing the back of the Infiniti. I have gotten the front all set & ready. I'm just about to start making some cookies for the road. Who doesn't want a little taste of home in a forign place?

While cleaning out my things the other day I found an old MP3 player I had when Jet was a baby. My girls and I had all the same songs programed on ours (I think we even had matching MP3s but I cant be certain). Anyway, isn't it so amazing how a song can trigger a memory? I was listening to a lot of the R & B that was on it and I was almost transported back into another time in my life. I remembered things I never have and laughed about things I hadn't though of in ages. I am still listening to it today....

Well I better head into the kitchen! Cookies to make!

Still here

So, it appears that I have taken a little break from blogging. But I am back. With Jack about to begin preschool I am going to have more time to document life. I made a decision that I will live life instead of taking time away from living to prepare for or document life. But in all honesty this is my journal, and I would like to have it to look back on as the kiddos grow and change.

Last night was the start of High School football here in Central Iowa. We headed out to watch the Waukee Warriors play Ankeny. Even though Waukee lost we all had a good time and I can tell that Jet is absorbing every little bit of information he can. He loves football.

Other than that we have been busy packing and getting ready for a road trip! A little overwhelming to me to think of traveling 10 hours with the kiddos, but hopefully everything will go smoothly.

I spend a decent amount of time in Memphis because I dated a boy who lived there doing an intership. We will see how much I really remember. My fondest memry was that he worked in a fabulous shoe store at night and would send my several pairs a week.....what a great guy! Anyway, I doubt much show shopping will be happening but we will be heading to the zoo, childrens museum and other fun activities while Joey sits in class learning how to save lives more quickly and efficently.

I will post with recent pics and stories from the road!
