I'm Leavin, on a Jet Plane

Okay - we're not flying out until Friday, but I know that Thursday is a special day for my blog and I won't post properly about the upcoming weekend preview. Knowing where we are going, though, I am sure that I will post on my blog over the weekend.

Where-o-where might the Monroe's be traveling? Saint Louis, MO, of course! For the first time EVER Anny has conceded to taking a day off of school for fun purposes! If Anny can take a day off, I can certainly match that! We decided to head out of town on Friday morning rather than wait until the evening, which would mean really only one fun day out of town. Late Friday arrival and leaving Sunday after church is not nearly as fun as a full Friday and Saturday, with an afternoon return on Sunday.

When I was looking at a calendar, ready to press "buy now" on Southwest to confirm our reservations, I noticed a pretty long word on my calendar. H-O-L-I-D-A-Y. The Presidents are doing us a favor this year, we're making an even longer weekend out of it!

Another upside for me, not as up for Anny, is that we truly can make Friday into a full day. Yes, we ARE leaving at 7:00 am, thankyouverymuch. I'm so much of a morning person that I didn't flinch. Anny does not mind too much, but will admit that it will be hard to get to sleep early on Thursday. A big thanks in advance to Jason for getting up early to take us to the airport.

I'm excited to spend time just hanging out with the St Louis part of the family. Nothing scheduled - no baptisms or road trips - except hanging out.

On a completely different note - Abby is officially 8 months old today! I'm going to go wake her up to celebrate. (It's election day, so Anny and Abby have the day off.) WAIT - She is waking up on her own......Time to change a diaper and hug a baby!

  1. Holy cow - 8 months already! That's amazing. How's the crawling coming along? We've got foot grabbing a'plenty, but no sitting up just yet. Soon, though.

    Sorry we missed the LPC group AGAIN this weekend. Hope y'all have a great trip!

  2. ok - I just have to say it's cruel and unusual to use a song for a blog title. Everytime I see my home page now, that crazy song pops into my head! LOL Amazingly, my husband has never heard it.

    Anyway, hope you all had a great weekend!

  3. How was the trip? I can not wait to join in with your joy when we have our little one in two months. Anything would need to think about for our upcoming miracle.
