Greetings From Sunny Florida

Normally I wouldn't be blogging until after I had returned from vacation, but I'll make an exception tonight. It's raining right now in Destin, Florida so we ordered pizza and will delay mini-golf until tomorrow. Since I'm in, I thought I would blog. Besides, I have to keep up with Rachel you know. (As if that's possible.)

We actually arrived close to 5:00, checked in and the kids got almost two hours in at the beach before it began to rain. Alex's arm had to be twisted because he thought he'd rather watch tv than go to the beach. He even tried to tell us that he wouldn't be tempted to get into the water. Well, he was right--for about ten seconds. Jeff and I really enjoyed watching the kids play. Because of the storm rolling in, there were some pretty good waves. We have already had a great time. It would be hard not to with the beautiful water, soft, white sand and my awesome family.

Speaking of family, we had a wonderful time over the weekend for Sweet Marie's 100th birthday. We enjoyed seeing Jeff's extended family and were blessed for an extra day with the Gables family. Call me tacky, but I even invited our family to caravan with them to Birmingham and to stay overnight at Kenny and Jennie's house. K.C. was great entertainment for the evening and this morning he and Jennie took us shopping. Rachel and I had a great time hunting for bargains and hated to say goodbye. A special thank you goes out to their sweet family for being so kind.

The next family to fall victim to my tackiness will be the Zumbiel's. While I am totally going to enjoy the beach, I am also looking forward to seeing my sister and her family. Again, I have invited my family to stay overnight with someone else, but I don't think they'll mind. Rachel and Alex are looking forward to seeing their cousins and seeing some new things. We'll see what they have in store for us sometime Thursday.

Well, I am getting a little tired so I will be wrapping this up. No promises will be made about whether I will post again while on vacation, but I can promise you this--we will definitely be having fun!

    It's never tacky to invite yourself to my house. Our door is open anytime you guys want to come visit. We have plenty of room and LOVED having you guys visit...we just wish you could have stayed longer.

    Love,
    Sarah
