Vacation Time!!!

Well, I thought I'd blog a bit before I leave out for Branson tomorrow. I'm really excited to be getting a little time off from work. It's always nice to get a break from the daily grind! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and post them when we get back. Everyone please pray that we have a safe and relaxing trip. There's still so much to do before we head out tomorrow morning. If you're not a preacher's kid you might not understand this, but packing is a finely honed skill that we acquire early in life. We always lived far away from family, so every vacation involved packing luggage, packing vehicles, packing icechests...you name it! (Can I get an Amen?). Anyway, I have to finish packing everything up and tieing up the loose ends around here. I hope everyone has a great week next week!!!

Happy Birthday MOM!

Ah...another week come and gone. Not really the most eventful week, but a good one none the less. I'm looking forward to next week when I'll be leaving on Wednesday to go to Destin, Florida! Several people from work are all going to a dental conference there and to be honest with you, I'm just happy to be getting a little sunshine and beach time. I'll be back on Saturday, so it won't be a very long trip. Then I'll only have one more week of work before we leave for our vacation in Branson! That's when I'll really get to relax. Some people enjoy lots of sight-seeing and running around when they're on vacation. Me...I'm more of a sit on the balcony and read a good book kind of vacationer. I think sometimes we forget to slow down and just enjoy the little things that do actually help us relax! That's gonna be my goal for this trip, to just enjoy taking it easy and not run around town the whole time.

Enough about that! Let me move on to even more exciting news...today is my mom's birthday!!! Mom, if you read this...

I wish so much that I could be up there in Tennessee to celebrate her birthday with the family. But, I know I'll get to see them this summer, so that makes it okay.

Well, unfortunately there's only 3 more days until the deadline to file taxes. I guess that means if you haven't even started then you should probably file an extension right? Yeah, so I better go so I can get that filed!!! I used to be so good about getting my taxes done early. Something changes, though, when you stop getting lots (or any) money back. I guess it's that Brannen procrastination kicking in! LOL!! I hope everyone has a great week next week!
