Back to work we go!

We've finally go everything unpacked from our vacation with the kids. Clothes are in the washer and dryer, and we're trying to get some rest before going back to work tomorrow. Zoe was really happy to see us too...I think she missed us a little ;). We did have a great time in South Carolina...but it always feels good to be home.

What a nice vacation!

Well time goes way too fast! It's already almost time for us to leave Myrtle Beach and head back for home. We've had such a wonderful time here though. We were able to enjoy the waterpark. It was a bit cold, but for us Iowans and it still felt much warmer than back home. We were also able to enjoy golfing, eating out, the dixie stampede, and the beach a little bit. It was so relaxing...and a much needed vacation! The kids seemed to have a great time too! :)

We're finally here!

Well, we left on the 20th for Myrtle Beach, and we got here yesterday afternoon. Although a little cooler out than what we were hoping, it's still beautiful here and should be a great vacation. It was our daughters birthday yesterday, so when we got into town and got all checked into the resort, we went out to eat and a very good restaurant. She seemed to really enjoy her birthday...so that's good.

Getting ready to go!

We're all packed up and getting ready to drive down to Cedar Falls today. We're going to be staying there with our daughter and her husband, and we'll leave really early tomorrow morning for Myrtle Beach. We're driving, so we're wanting to get an early start. Our son is going to be watching our dog, zoe, while we're gone...so we're very thankful for that. Should be a great time!

Packing our suitcases

We've been very busy packing our suitcases, and will continue to be busy as we finish packing over the next week. A while back we had asked our daughter and son-in-law if they would like ot go to Myrtle Beach with us. This is where they went on their honeymoon, and we knew that they'd really enjoy going back if they had the opportunity. We're very excited about going to, as they've only told us good things about it. It will also be nice to have a little vacation away from work, and spend some time in the sun and with family!

Our puppy!

We have a bichon frise who is 5 years old. Although she is getting older, she will always be our little puppy. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Bichon dog, they are such a wonderful famliy dog to have. They are so sweet, and very well behaved. She has been such a joy to have as a part of our family. She likes to cuddle most of the time, and is very loving. She's such a good dog too....we can leave her home while we're at work, and when we come home, the house is just as we left it. She's such a sweetie...we love her to pieces!
