is it really blogging if...

So I've been on vacation for a week. I had access to a computer and internet, but was wholly unmotivated to try this.

That doesn't mean I wasn't putting thoughts on paper... Mostly letters to my sweetie (Hi Krystle!!!!).

Vacation was fun, though with 4 children in the house fun really shouldn't start before 9 am... especially if fun involved margarita night!

I did leave a note in the guest book that sums up our vacation as well as anything else:

Five of us met in college over ten years ago: John, Jamie, Dustin, Seth and me: Andy. Dustin married Amy and John married Jamie. Respectively they brought us Derek and Rose; and Sarah and Elliot. That makes ten of us under one roof.

We walked to the beach each day, swam in the pool and played in the sun. We made good use of the grill and sat at one table each night for dinner.

After the kids were asleep we either made good use of the bar, watched movies, made laughs in the hot tub, and squabbled over board games.

Sometimes we did things on our own: Parasailing, shopping, visiting the Wright Brothers. Still it was this house that we returned to.

We came here as friends, but tomorrow we leave a family

Much Love,

Andy
