Back in the South

We made it home! It is good to be back in our own home, but I'm really missing Iowa (am I weird or what)? The south is just so different from the Midwest...I told Zach the south is like a whole different country! But its wonderful to relax in our home and have the space of a house rather than a room!

The other day Cuddly boy was talking about truckers. On the way up I'd told the kiddos how some truckers sleep in their trucks. I guess CB was quite fascinated by that because he remembered on the way back here. Then he said something about how he wants to be a trucker when he gets big. "And you can be a trucker lady and daddy can be a trucker daddy" he said! It was so funny!

We stopped at a Holiday Inn last night. We'd stopped there in Dec. on our way to Michigan and it wasn't bad. I remember the beds were awesome. Well this time it was a completely different story! It felt so nasty and I felt all itchy! I didn't even take a shower in that place but waited until I got home! I hate nasty hotels!

So we decided our house color will be called "Granite". We couldn't pick the wheat, which was what Princess really wanted and I really didn't want a white color. I'm debating whether a black door will look ok now. I have pictures to post of the house we toured but the laptop has a virus I'm trying to fix as I blog. So the pictures will have to wait another day!

Ever since I stepped outside here I've been stuffed up. It is so annoying! I hope it doesn't last and I sure hope I can sleep ok in my own bed and not be too stuffed!

One last important thing...today is my Mom's birthday!!!! Happy birthday Mom!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
