May Trip Home

Because my new permit is STILL pending, I was able to go back to the States for a nice long visit.  I flew into Denver April 30th.  We mostly shopped because my personal shopper (Sarah) lives there.  There is NO shopping here, so I have to stock up while I am home.  Travis said I am now stocked up for the next decade...  I wasn't that bad!!  We did get a chance to make it to a Rockies game (my first) and spent time with Katie, Bradley, Sam, and the nephews.  I also met up with a few high school friends that I hadn't seen in a decade.  My last night I was a chaperone for Jackson's 10th birthday party sleepover in the mountains.  It was a lot of fun!  I can't believe he's 10.  I had to swear not to tell his friends that we used to call him "poopy pants" before I was allowed to go.  It was successful because after the party was over, we hadn't made any calls to the emergency room.  :)  We had one night out with Sam and the all of the siblings.  It was a blast!  It's been a long time since we have done that.  

I headed to Janesville May 9th and spent Mother's Day with Trent.  It was great.  We had a scavenger hunt and root beer floats (our usual routine) Sunday night.  Monday I kept him out of school and we spent most of the day making and flying paper airplanes.  It was sooooo much fun.  I highly recommend the paper airplane book I bought at Target to anyone that has a 6-12 year old boy.

For $16.95 you can have hours of fun.  I hope he remembers to bring it this summer so we can make more.  Speaking of, he arrives June 13th!!  Travis and I are so excited.  I should be posting more often since because I will have something to write about and cute pics to post.  

Meanwhile, I am sitting and waiting for my permit to go through so I can start my new job.  I can't wait!!  It should go though in the next week or so, but you just never know.  The waiting game is annoying!  

Hope all is well.  Check back in a couple weeks!
