***1st Carbondale Trip 2010***

Going to see Katie in Carbondale was soooo much fun!!! We got there at about 10pm on Thursday 3/18/10 and got home about 8:00pm on Sunday 3/21/10. We went to Michael's baseball games on Friday and Saturday and Eli had so much fun watching the game and being outside! Everytime the ball would hit the catcher's glove or the batter would hit the ball, he would say "ooOOOoooOOO" real loud haha! It was so funny :] He slept soooo good too, and had no naps the whole trip so he slept 12 hours nights straight on Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night. I was soooo proud of him! We also went to see Aunt Katie at work on Friday (the only day she had to work) and we tried to sit on the Easter Bunny's lap but he had noooo desire of it so we decided to not put him through torture and let him pass with a pic this year! He gets his fears from his Mama- and I love it haha! Makes me not the only one lil man :]

All 3 of us had a wonderful wonderful time down there- and I did not want to come home. I just love my sister so much, it was so so so nice to be with her. My brother also got to come down too and is still down all week for his SB and it was soooo good being with him too. Bringing back the old days with us 3 sibs :] Eli stayed awake the whole car ride on the way there and back but 30 minutes and did pretty good. He got a lil antsy at times- but can you blame him? We stopped half way and took a little break- he loved that!

Thank goodness I will be seeing my sister the same amount of time when we move as I do now- or I'd be completely lost. She issss my best friend- and I am so blessed to have a close sister like her :] We are pretty much the same person with about 90% of the same personality, and some differences in looks! I could only wish to be as cute as her. I love that we are the way we are though... the only part we clash on is her sassiness and how I just can't show my sassiness as easy as her- I feel bad too easy and often and she just doesn't... love that bout her so much tho!!! Georgia is 8 hours from Carbondale... and we already have planned dates to see each other and she says she is going to claim one of the bedrooms as hers haha- I am so with her there. My brother definitely is in on visiting us too- and that makes me feel so good!! It's a sister and brother like the 2 of them that you can't ever thank enough for everything!!!

Thanks so so so much for the good time- I wish I was still there. Now it is on to my last 3 weeks of school left til I GRADUATE with my Bachelor's degree eeeeek and also to get on the move of moving! How that is coming so fast... we move Apr 16th. Very very excited for this time in our lives but nervous as heck to leave all my family and friends... it's gunna be sooo hard. I am so so proud of Noah though- and he is soooo excited. He deserves this great promotion so much. I'm excited to see this step our lil family is taking together <3

Here are some great pics from our trip-
