I AM BACK!!

So glad to be back after a week-long vacation in Oklahoma with my family!  We all drove down to visit my mother-in-law, and for the kids and I to meet the rest of my husband's family.  I must say, it was a blast!  We all had a great time!  In fact, the kids (the boys) didn't want to leave yet, and I know it must have been so hard on their Grandma, too to see us go.  I know the feeling.  My husband and I felt the same way as well.  We all wished we could've stayed longer, but my mom-in-law only had a week of leave, and my husband needed to be back, too because his 2-week leave was already almost up.  He actually already reported back to work today, which sucks because, like usual, we missed him and we got used to having him around with us 24/7.  But duty calls, and he needs to go back to work, whether we like it or not.

We left Oklahoma last Monday at 2:30 in the afternoon, and we didn't get home until Tuesday, the next day, at almost 10 in the morning.  That's right, we were on the road for almost 20 hours including our stopovers.  The trip coming back was a lot harder than going there because the kids were uneasy,especially the little girl.  She didn't even want her Papa to stop driving, or she'll wake up from her sleep and would lose it!  It was, no lie, a tough one, but we still, we cannot thank God enough for watching over us and keeping us all safe all throughout the drive back and forth.

It definitely was a vacation to remember!  As a matter of fact, it was our first family trip, too, and God willing, we've already talked about going on another family trip sometime in November.  We're praying that things will work out according to our plans so we all could enjoy another family time in the outside world before the crazy cold winter season comes.
