Settling in . . .
We've been in the house almost a month now. A month next Tuesday. And we're still quite sure we made the right choice on the home we bought. I'm glancing out the patio doors at the grape arbours, blueberry patch, apple trees and lots of green grass and green breezy trees as I type. It's one of the most relaxing places I've been. We've been plotting a way to turn our back deck into a stage and have parties with live bands and all. Small town life sure seems to be a whole lot better so far than the way we had been living. What a whirlwind the whole month was leading up to the move, though. It was so crazy . . . waiting to close and all. In the midst of the move we had Robb's wedding and I wrecked our van on the day of the wedding. Nobody was hurt . . . just the minivan's butt. Hee hee. But life is calm now. We are thinking of taking a vacation this year. Just to celebrate and rest as a family because of all that's happened this year. We're just not sure where yet, though. The budget is small . . . that whole buying a house thing and all. Any ideas for the most relaxing family vacation you've been on . . . that also wasn't too expensive? I'm taking suggestions so we can get this thing underway.

why don't you start your next blog with the sentence "So I haven't blogged in a month and when I last left you we were in the throws of trying to move but the deal falling through..."Then you could go from there.
As for a family vacation, if you want to go somewhere and stay a night like in a hotel. Priceline the thing and low ball it for the 4 & 5 star hotel. I thikn we stayed at a hilton once for $30. If you do that in and around the st. louis area or indy area there's lots of free stuff you can do. St. Louis has a good zoo that is free. Indy has the children's museum that isn't free but I've been told you could spend days in it.
Sorry . . . we didn't have internet at the new place until last night. I never have enough time at work to really use the internet. I was thinking St. Louis . . . but they don't have those sandy tropical beaches everyone's raving about.
St. Louis is great for a cheap vacation. We did the priceline thing and got a nice hotel room cheap. Then the zoo, children's museum, and the brewery are all free. We met some friends there and had a great trip fairly cheap. Just pretend the pool at the hotel is the ocean and the hard cement around it is a nice sandy beach. :)
