There's no place like....hoooooooooome

We have made it home. No matter where you go or what you do, home is home. It's always nice to come home. We had a very successful trip home and a fantastic trip overall! It seems every trip we ever go on, I learn new things about myself and about the things that are important to me. On my way home, I compiled a list of these facts I have learned over the past few days:

1) You can always count on it being warmer down in Bella Vista, even if it's only 3 degrees, lucky for us it was 20 degrees!
2) No matter where you stay, the water pressure is non existent and hard as stone down there.
3) A sunrise or sunset will always amaze me and bring me closer to God
4) I am very fortunate to have a very well behaved child, I need to remember that
5) You can never throw a football too much, even when your arm is screaming out you, always keep going
6) My child will leave the house if no one is watching. Fantastic.
7) My husband is a stud! He makes my heart soar to places I never thought it would.
8) David gets me in more ways then anyone I know. I swear, it's his gift.
9) We need to really sit down and plan out baby #2, if there will be one, since both sisters are PG and asking
10) Jake and I are alike in more ways then I thought. It's me, but 25 years younger. Watch out.
11) It can never be too quiet.
12) If you turn on the GLEE soundtrack, your car will turn into karaoke 101.
13) Feeding the ducks will always be a favorite past time of mine, along with skipping rocks.
14) The boys (nephews and my son) are blessed with a very energetic "Papa" that is willing to wrestle with them and chase them around for hours
15) I can read 226 pages of a kids story book 4 times and survive. I have got Curious George down!
16) My child will never be a napper in the car, no matter how long the drive be.
17) Gerald's abs in 300 are better than I remembered or ever gave him credit for. Thank you!
18) Gigi, no matter what in her past, loves her family and would do anything for them. She is a very special woman.
19) I am very glad that Jake is not a messy eater. I think my gag reflux hit it's high peak this week
20) Arkansas Wal-Mart experiences could generate about 5 of those photo emails. It's called a mirror people.
21) Laying on a blanket, with the sun beaming on your face, will always be refreshing and should never be taken for granted.
22) I could spend my 401k on the "Twilight Saga" table at Barnes and Noble. (downfall again)
23) Angel food cake with vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries is a little taste of heaven.
24) Make sure to always check when Mizzou and Kansas play one another, traffic can be a pain in your backside in KC.
25) I missed my dogs, my cat and my house. But most of all, being the 26, almost 27 year old, married with a child woman I am, didn't realize how much I would miss my mommy and daddy!

Until next year, Arkansas 2010. We will have another Olsen on board, which will make it even more interesting!
