Countdown

Today is yet another day to continue my COUNTDOWN, only 4 days til we are Daytona bound. It can't come soon enough. I know that it's going to be so hot, but that doesn't matter. I can't wait for the mornings where, you get up whenever you want, and go to bed as late as you want. No work the next day makes this possible.

We will spend our week fussing about how hot it is, arguing about how one of us wants to do something but someone else wants to do something else, we will spend time debating what to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner then listening to whining and whimpering when the adults pick something that the kids don't want to eat. We will swim in the pool and get exhausted, we will go down to the beach and get sunburnt and then whine about how the salt water hurts our sunburn. We will fuss because the beds suck and because our pillows do too....

BUT, no matter what, we will be there as a FAMILY. We will have just as many, if not more fun times than complaints and we will love each other the whole time. We wouldn't feel right leaving the girls behind, because its family time that we can never get back. Once the week of August 6th through the 14th of 2011 is gone, we can never go back and do it over. I am so excited about this trip, and what it means. I've learned over this last year that even though we can always find things to complain about, we never have it half as bad as we think we do and we should always thank the Lord for what we have, the things we can do, and all the blessings he gives. We should always praise his name, even in the storm. That's what I will strive for everyday of our vacation.
