upcoming events

well, it seems that time flies by and there is never enough time. As my work schedule starts to book up about a month in advance, we have to start scheduling things early. In my occupation there are no such things as sick days or last minute vacations. Coming up we have a busy schedule.....
Next week we have Kevin's little brother coming to visit. I have never seen someone so exicted aobut coming up here. The morning after we booked his bus ticket (we are hoping he makes his connections and doesn't have any problems there), he called us to tell us that he already has his bag packed. He has been dying for about 2 years to be able to come up and visit on his own. He actually is a good kid, who is very appreciative of the things we do for him, so we don't mind doing this for him at all. Plus, he is always good for some humor (although he doesn't realize half of the dumb things he says).
The next weekend is my Mom's 60th birthday. Of which I haven't planned much and haven't gone shopping yet. I did get a great card for her though. So at least some of that is done.
The following weekend we are going to Fernandina Beach, Florida to visit my dad for 4 days. I just love the lifestyle down there. It is no worries, relaxing type. You get up, go out to the pool, eat breakfast, go swimming in the backyard, play some golf, go back to the pool or ocean, eat dinner outside while watching the sunset, and then sit around having a drink or 2 in the hot tub. What a life. In the meantime I will be thinking about all the crazy patients that will be at the office that day! AAAHHHH! :-)
Then, we are traveling to Atlantic City for our friend, Chris' 28th b-day. It is a short 4 hour drive and well worth it since we get to see people that we haven't seen in about a year. Plus, it is always fun to play some craps, roulette and slots. Who knows, maybe it will help us pay that $5,000 I mentioned in the previous post!
Wow, we are already at the end of April at this point in time. Kevin and I are at some point going camping, visiting his family in NC, visiting Will, Genny, Alex (Kevins godson), and baby Riley (not yet born) in SC, and hopefully finding a new house in the meantime.
I have to say, I would rather be busy, then to sit around and not know what to do. It just stinks having to plan everything out so far in advance with my job. Spealing of, I have to go and talk to Kevin about May, so I better stop writing! Ta-ta-for now!

What a busy month coming! :)
I know what ya mean about planning things out in advance.
It's funny, b/c I was just sitting here thinking that I (we'd) like to visit you guys, (or vice versa). Maybe I should look at a calendar too!

It sounds like you both are hopping and going, we are too. Not in the same types of ways but with parents, kids and life in general. Go and enjoy all you can. Things change in life and you will have days you can't just hop up and go. But, enjoy while you can. I look forward to more time for that in the future. Love you both.
