13 more days of school

13 more days of school. It is a mixed bag really. On one hand, the boredom and taxi service are huge issues. On the other hand, I am ready to let go of the morning routine for a bit. We have two (hopefully) main trips planned, and then an excursion or two to Tucson to see the in-laws.

Our first trip is for my mom, Nate, and me. We are going to southern Illinois for our family reunion. We will be gone for four days, and Nate is in countdown mode already. He hasn't been on a plane for 3 years so he is super excited about that! The only bummer about the trip is that it is in the southern part of the state, and it is a long ride up to where my hometown is...in fact too long. I would love to see my dad's side of the family, and some of my high school friends that I have reconnected with on facebook, but it just is a logistical nightmare. Sigh...hopefully soon we can make that trip.

The second trip is the hopeful one! Nate wants to go to Legoland for his birthday. We will make that trip if I can get the apartments rented. If I can't get them rented, we can't afford to go on the trip. So...all of our fingers and toes are crossed that I can get a couple of tenants! I am showing it today, and I had a call from a girl moving here from New York last week that sounded promising. If both of these pan out...I will be doing the happy dance!

We had a really nice Mother's day yesterday! It didn't end up like we planned, but it sure was an adventure. I have some pictures so I think that I will do another post with pics later.
