Day 4 of Give Thanks
Thank y’all again for the nice comments…oh, and MyKi…I DO self medicate.
…sometimes I just don’t have a choice in the matter…ya know?
Anyway, for Day 4…I’d like to say that I’m EXTREMELY thankful that Jason and I went to Michigan for our vacation last month!!
I’m thankful for that vacation for many reasons…
(See Vacation posts Part I & Part II)
1. I got to spend time away from the 4 children mentioned in the previous post.
2. I got to spend some time ALONE with the one I love!!
3. I got to go home for a few days during my favorite season of the year.
4. I got to see my Grandpa one last time before he died.
Soooooo…since I’ve been promising pics of our vacation for quite some time now…I thought that I’d post a few. I’m sorry that some of them are so dark, but that’s just what the weather was like up there and I need a better camera.
I hope that y’all enjoy them!!

Thank you for sharing your trip. Looks totally awesome! ! ! I love pictures. Still working on developing my film from TN. Sooner or later I will have the money to develop my 10 rolls lol. Have a great day and a wonderful tomorrow! ! ! !

I just need some time for a few things, but I’ll look in
I really enjoyed your pictures. I’ve never been to Michigan and now I feel like I have!!!

I’d thank you for subbing to my site too, but wait, oh yeah. Been there done that!!! LOL
So glad to hear I’m not the only self-medicator in the Momz sector!!!
And you guys’ sites always look so cool– if only I wasn’t so HTML challenged… I’d love to be able to put up a banner for instance that didn’t take up 90% of my page… anyways… great fotos, glad your vacation was good… Oh and I already told Jason, but you two are officially my favorite xanga couple! Unbelievably there are many many others!
