We will be leaving to go on vacation in a few days. After a brief visit with the pastor that married Tim and me, we will be heading toward southwest Missouri. The children are looking forward to Silver Dollar City (an amusement park), husband is looking forward to us staying one night in a cabin on a river, and I am looking forward to no housework, no cooking, and just getting away from the everyday routine. Now normally I am a homebody. I seriously just enjoy being here with my husband and kids more than anything else in the world and this may sound a bit silly but I'm already getting excited about getting back from vacation because we will not have to go anywhere else for a long while. I have many friends that are going all the time and it truly doesn't bother them that much and many that have to go go go or their bored. Not me. Maybe it's just part of getting older or maybe not. I do have a friend that is four years older, homeschools, lives in the country and they are always on the go visiting family, friends, and the children are all actively involved in lessons, clubs, and athletics. So maybe its not the age thing. Maybe it's just me. I am after all a homebody.
I'll get pictures of our Funfest and maybe even a short video and post it when we get back. Blessings to you! Julie |

I know exactly how you feel. I would so much rather stay home than be on the road all the time. We made two trips to Louisiana back to back and I really pray that I don't have to make another one anytime soon. Every time we come home from a trip, I go through this little routine of clicking the heels of my shoes together and say,"there's no place like home, there's no place like home." I love being in my own home, with my own family and sleeping in my own bed. Although I am of an older age, my two daughters (ages 17, almost 18 and 20) feel the same way that I do. They also love to stay home. I can honestly say, "like mother, like daughter. :--)
Talk later,
