On The Road:


(This is a picture of my sister's girls)
Wow, It seems like I’ve let too much time pass to write anything on here. Here are some things that have been said in the last week… Where would you ever live if you wanted to? Are we there yet? Wow what a beautiful sunrise. What about this? What about that? Can we finally put on some music? (So then it was decided to sing without music) So what do you think you would do if this kind of thing happened to you? How much further do you think we have? Can we stop for a bathroom break? PLEASE!!
That’s right, if you haven’t guessed it, I have been on the road with my dad the last weekend. We headed up to see my sister and he also needed to deliver trees to the area. So from my house to my sister’s house it is about 4 hours. But when most of it is a flat drive it can seem a bit longer. But I did enjoy my time spent with dad, sometimes that is what those kind of adventures are about is just spending time with the ones you love the most and sharing stories, secrets, and motivators.
When arrived at my sister Sarah’s house it was great fun to see them. I played candy land with her kids and uno, and of course a bunch of fun stories, and just flat out had a blast with the enjoyment of Sarah’s company. It was great time.
(A little background for those of you who aren‘t aware my dad cuts gorgeous Christmas trees every fall, and sells them to distributors. It is a fun job for him and a bit of a hobby for him, but at the same rate, very tiring)
The next day I watched the kids while they delivered the trees. Then spent the rest of the day over at Super Saturday with my sister making crafts at the church and helping to put a cute baby to sleep. Did I mention I love kids.
So then Sunday morning Dad and I got on the road, and where I felt it was my continuous duty to keep him awake I spit out more of those crazy questions and ideas. About 7 hours later we ended up at his house and called it a weekend. Then 2 mornings later we got up and got back on the road for another delivery, Which 3 hours later leaves me to a quick visit with the cousins and then onto my mom’s house.

Wow, something about this time of year that makes you just want to hang out and be with your family next to a warm fire. Anyways, now that I’ve taken a break from my Christmas project I’m going to have to say goodbye for now. Hope everyone is well and happy. Have a great week.

What a beautiful fall picture, and what cute kids! It sounds like a wonderful weekend. Every kid, or grownup, would love to have a dad who delivered Christmas trees! Sounds like a perfect beginning to the holiday season.
