Summer Vacation

The past few years, we have made the trip to Iowa more towards the end of summer. This year we headed up there not even a week after finishing up with school. I had my high school 10 year reunion scheduled for June 16, so we planned accordingly. We had a great trip driving there and back. We went a different way then we normally did and we really liked it better then the other way we have gone. It is more of a straight shot and not crazy interstate driving, but instead nice 4 lane highway driving. The kids did wonderfully! We had DVD players for them, books, snacks and they rode like champs. This is the first time in many trips that no one got sick in Iowa, hoorah!! We ate at Pizza Ranch as soon as we rolled into town and ate there 2 more times after that. Had to get my fix! We went to Sioux City one day, Le Mars to the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Shop, Okoboji to Arnold's Park and then of course, my reunion. Jerimiah and I have often tossed around the idea of moving back to Iowa sometime. After this trip, with no offense to anyone, but I have felt a peace about where we are right now, here in Texas. I don't know what it was and nothing really happened, but I just really felt God telling me that I am where I need to be right now and not to worry about it anymore. Not that we never will think about it again, just probably not right now. My reunion was great and I'm glad I had the chance to reconnect with people. About half our class was there and it was a fun night for everyone. We took off Monday morning and got back into Katy about 4 PM yesterday afternoon.
