Overbooked

Wow! We've been super busy over the last few days, and the schedule for the remainder of the week is looking just as packed. I guess that's the new "norm" for December. It's hard to complain about the inevitable exhaustion when it's a result of good times with great friends.

Last Thursday, we flew off to Kansas City where we saw almost all of our Midwestern friends. Of course, we couldn't see everyone in a mere 4 days, but sure did try! Going back to Kansas is always guaranteed fun. Because of that, I think we'll always consider it "home." Kansas is where we started our life as a family, and even though we moved away, we left a bit of our hearts with all of the wonderful friends we made during our years there.

After an extended weekend, we said our good-byes and left behind the freezing temperatures to return to balmy Florida. We arrived just in time to host John & Misti, our good friends from Wichita, for one night before they took off to celebrate their 10-year anniversary in the Bahamas. It was such a quick visit, but we were able to spend a night on the town with them enjoying dinner, drinks, and the beautiful Christmas lights illuminating our historic district.

Today, we did our best to return to our normal routines, but normal doesn't mean times are any less hectic. I guess that's just the way families operate now...full speed ahead!
