Hello Louisville Kentucky!

It's been quite an exhausting day. Got up bright and early this morning to finish packing and then the time came to say goodbye to my kiddos, which I have to say was much easier for them! I thought i would be okay until it came right down to it. I gave them both hugs and kisses and they were totally ok with it! Jimmy walked me to the car and then it hit me...i'm really leaving everyone for 5 days! The longest amount of time i've ever been away from them. I managed to hold back the tears until Jimmy went inside and i just sat in the car and cried, i mean tears rolling down my face. I got myself together and headed for Ann's house. I kept telling myself, this is a good thing, Jimmy can handle it.

We had good flights and arrived in Louisville, however, our luggage did not. This was our first little mishap. Apparently because we had such a short connecting flight in Charlotte, our luggage did not make it. So it should be arriving tonight around 9:30 delivered to our hotel, hopefully. We then went to get our rental car and found our car was in the wrong spot. Then once we finally found our car we hooked up the GPS and typed in our hotel. Pushed go and we were on our way. Uh no. Unfortunately the GPS did not know where our hotel was. (We found out later the hotel is so new that it was not recognized on the GPS). We arrived at some townhouse complex. We then relied on good old written directions amd eventually we did find it. Our rooms are awesome. We got dinner to go at Jason's Deli next to the hotel and brought it back so we could watch the football game. Go Steelers!! Now we are just kicking back and relaxing. Some of us watching football and some geeks are on the computer! We were joking earlier cause we saw a tee shirt at the airport that said "Lucky in Kentucky". We are saying "Unlucky in Kentucky". Tomorrow is the first day of class from 9-5. Hopefully i can pass the test...

How time flies by...

I just can't believe how the time flies by. I thought i'd better update my blog before it's spring and i have only two posts for winter! Today is Monday and i am enjoying the day off with the kiddos. Cody and I are at home waiting our few minutes before driving back to East Berlin to get Hannah from dance class. Then it's back to the house for lunch and then off to the Utz potato chip factory tour this afternoon with the playgroup. Since we didn't get the anticipated snow this past Saturday, we were able to attend the tiny tots skate at Magic Elm. This was Hannah's first skate and she did pretty good! We got the skates that went over her shoes which was a very good idea. They had a mini skating lesson with the kids first which was nice. About an hour into it, Hannah was saying her legs hurt so we took a break and then she went back out and did the Hokey Pokey and the limbo. I think i had just as much fun as she did! Although i didn't brave it and get on skates, yeah i need to be able to work...can't afford a broken bone! Then on Sunday we had Jimmy's parents over for dinner and to watch football. Then Hannah and I spent some time on Webkinz world. The weekend just goes too fast. Well, off to get Hannah.
