a year of traveling

it's been about a year since i posted... and i just been having the time of my life traveling and getting my body back from baby numero dos.

I know that I am one lucky girl, being able to be a stay at home mom and to have free travel! and this past year i definately took advantage of it, especially since in a year abby will be in school and i won't be able to take her out on a whim (so i'll probaboly invest in a gym membership to keep my sanity!) and someday we'll own a home and have more responsibilities to keep us from traveling potentially. this past year i went to : dallas X 5, houston , Austin, Atlanta, Salt Lake City X4, Washington D.C., Washington, Honolulu, Orlando, and 2 bahama islands. I love traveling. I think it's part of the fact that i'm an extrovert. Surprisingly we were grounded in Indianapolis for 4 months during the winter. ( not what i was expecting, with my seasonal depression). But it was great because aside from the snow in january, i love indiana! We would be happy to live here forever. having family close would be awesome, but free travel is the next best thing-- and my kids are getting good at it, if that is even possible. We know we're home, sweet home when we leave the Indianapolis airport to its mesmerizing light-following walk way feature


Spring is in full bloom! and Indianapolis is GORGEOUS! and i could be outside all day! (if only i had a car or lived in a better neighborhood). Today 4 kids in our apartment complex schooled me in a race... does that mean i'm out of shape?? seriously. Unfortunately we all have colds, which im actually ok with since last may the worst 3 days of my life were when luke had rsv in the hospital for 3 days (longest i've stayed awake in my life and sickest either of my children have ever been)... so colds are ok! Specifically i'm especially loving all the red winged black birds here
as well as the FLOWERS!!
even though i live "inner city" I still feel not too crowded (maybe its the huge yards vs the tiny texas ones i'm used to) Happy weather everyone!!
