(Courtney and Maggie)
(Ryan, Jason and Ronan)
(Riley and Conner)
Until we get to see Jason, Courtney, Conner and Maggie! It's been about 10 months since we've seen them. They live in Harrisburg, and Jason is Ryan's older brother. We've been so blessed to remain close to them, despite all the dirty stuff that has happened with Ryan's family.
After our first beach trip fell through with Ryan's entire family (everything happens for a reason!), Courtney and I began to plan for our OWN family vacations together and with much rearranging and date changing...we are finally going to see them in a few days! Courtney's parents have a house in Rehoboth, DE, and we decided that seeing them was worth the 16+ hour drive from Tampa. Yes, people, we are driving.
Could we have flown? Sure. Would we want to be trapped in the air, thousands of feet above ground with Ronan running rampant down the aisle screaming bloody murder? No way. And, we wouldn't have been able to fly direct to Rehoboth. We would've had to rent a car and drive anyway. So, we have opted to take on the road trip and I'm looking forward to it. (Yeah, I really said that.)
We have braved the drive from Pittsburgh to San Diego. And then again from San Diego to Pittsburgh. And then from Pittsburgh to Tampa. And for Ryan...San Diego to Tampa (in 2 days!) If we can do all those drives, we can do this...and the payoff is so worth it.
I miss my sister-in-law, Courtney. I just love her. And if I ever speak to my mother-in-law again, it'll be to thank her for Ryan and for Courtney. My MIL brought us together years back when she had Jason and Courtney stay at our house with my nephew, Conner. Ever since then, we've been close and I am thankful for this relationship each time I talk to her.
And she'll probably kill me for saying this, but the girl makes swear words sound good. I think every time I get off the phone with her, I want to drop the f-bomb (for no particular reason.) I have come to believe it's her pronunciation of every syllable and making the "f" word sound like 2 syllables. Haha.
So, I'll probably make a few more posts before we leave for our vacation...but if not, I'll be sure to post a ton of pictures when we get back.
