After almost 8 years I finally got to go to Ohio! Dad and Karen came down for a vacation, we spent 2 days here and the rest at the beach, woohoo! While they were here the girls and I decided to go back with them, spend 2 weeks and then David would come and spend a week. We had the best time!!!! I suprised my grandparents, that was the best homecoming!
I spent a lot of time in a car, my grandparents live 30 minutes from my Dad, he's in Kenton and they are in Marion, the girls and I did stay with my grandparents a few nights here and there, but I did not want to overburden them , my grandmother thought she had to cook a 10 course meal for every meal when I was there, lol.
We did all kinds of things! Went to the Columbus zoo, found a WONDERFUL antique warehouse in Mt. Victory, my SUV was packed on our way home, my dads Amish Friend Levi, had me a rocker made for crocheting,cross stitching etc... in, I LOVE my rocker, it is perfect! Yes in Kenton there are a lot of Amish, we had Amish bread and pies, banana bread everyday!
Dad and Karens house will be 100 years old in 2 years, an old farmhouse in the country, it is beautiful where they live. The weather! ahhhhh when we left our house it was 103, we get to Kenton, took 12 hours to get to Marion, Dad dropped us all off at my grandparents while he had to run to Alliance to drop off 3 horses and 2 dogs, so by the time we got to the farmhouse, I had not slept in 30 hours and it was in the 50's , lets just say I was shaking so bad from the cold, while it was really not that cold, coming from 103 which I am used to and it being in the high 80's at night here to going to low 70's during the day and low fifties at night, I was having problems,lol Finally they found me a sweatshirt jacket and it took me about a week to get used to the weather. Then David got there and he went through the same thing,lol Then we come home to HOT weather, can't stand to be outside!
Got a new hairdo while in Ohio, got to love how my Stepmom is a hair stylist :)
I miss being there, but we are goingot do this every summer, next year we are staying the whole month of June! No lie but Karen just quit crying over the phone 2 days ago, she misses us, my dad called me 2 days ago and told me the house don't feel right and it's not the same without us, that was a shock! But they call everyday now :) As a matter of fact it was 1 hour and 45 minutes on the phone with them last night,lol
The girls don't know it but they are coming for 2 weeks for Christmas, we are so excited! (David and I)
School starts in 3 weeks here! Both of mine will be in school this year, KL will be in Middle school, and Nat starts in kinder. Schools opened yesteday and I had a meeting, Nat went with me, she told our principle how many more days it was until school starts, she is counting down the days,lol This will be the first time with no kids in our married life, thats 14 years.
David wanted me to take a year off, but it does not look that way, things are coming together for me to open a Antique store and I am so excited! So between that and decorating on the side I will be busy, but doing something I love and yet can be there for my husband and kids still :)
There will be more posts, so much happened,lo
