Plans

Ok. So I haven't done very well with this whole blogging thing. It's already Memorial Day and I haven't written anything since January. I don't even know where to begin because so much has happened in the last four months. I guess I'll just start from here and not try to recap all that's happened. I'd be here forever. :)

I am getting over an upper respiratory infection that I desperately tried to avoid. I went to the doctor, got meds, and everything BEFORE I even had full blown symptoms. Oh well. I guess God needed me to slow down for something. I'm still a little upset that I had to miss my girls weekend at the beach because of this mess......but what's a girl to do? When God says rest, you rest. You don't exactly argue with the Almighty.

The next couple of weeks are going to be quite busy for the Dukes. Brack leaves tomorrow to go to Cairo for Robbie's graduation Thursday. I know, Thursday. That's Cairo for ya. :) He will return on Friday and I will be hosting my first Premier Jewelry party. I'm super excited, I just wish I'd thought far enough ahead to realize that it is graduation weekend in north Georgia too. Haha. Go me.

This weekend will be quite relaxing for me. Brack has to work aaallll weekend. Even Monday. Don't these people know it's a holiday? I will be doing a final run through of the house to make sure that everything is as neat and clean as possible because next Thursday, after Memorial Day, we will be leaving our home for 10 whole days. It's our first "real" vacation in 5 years. When I say "real" I mean like take a whole week off and actually go somewhere that isn't just to visit family or a quick weekend trip. To say I'm excited is an understatement. This will be the first time since our honeymoon that we have gone on a trip just the two of us, with no agenda, or schedule, or anyone to keep up with but us. Hallelujah!!!!!!!!

We will start our trip by going to Cairo Thursday night to drop Zippy off at Tam and Papa's house (my parents).  He will get to spend an enormous amount of time with this Uncle Leroy (my parent's border collie). I'm sure he'll probably shun us when we get back because he's never spent more than a couple of days away from us. Friday morning, Brack's mom will take us to the airport and we will embark on our five day trip to..................................................................................................................

Las Vegas!!!!!!!!!

 

That's right. I am super psyched because I've never been any further west than Alabama. Sad, I know. We will stay on the Strip and see the Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, and even LA while we are out there. (Look for more posts that week of how the festivities are going)

 

The next Wednesday we will fly back to Tallahassee and head back to Cairo to stay until the following Sunday. My dad's 60th birthday is June 7th and we are going to have a surprise party for him. I can't wait. He's gonna be so mad.....hehehe.

 

I can't wait because it's going to be so nice to just get away and not have a schedule or anything to worry about while we are gone. Woohoo!!!!!!!
