That is really all I have to say. Mostly because I am too tired to think of anything else but laying on the beach under an umbrella, sipping a tasty drink and catching up on some much needed rest.
Instead I will pack up our apartment and prepare to make the 10 hour drive to Des Moines on Sunday, followed by our 27 hour (yes 27 hour!) train ride to Utah/Idaho a week later where we will spend the next 5 weeks.
I am excited to see all my family and friends that I haven't seen for awhile, and Cams needs some Grandma and Grandpa time (on both sides), but this is the start of a long summer for us. Unfortunately Nate doesn't get to continue the journey to Utah/Idaho with us. Instead he will be heading back to Pennsylvania where he will spend the next 2 months slaving away, trying to impress the Orthopedic Residency Programs. We won't see eachother through this process and it breaks my heart that Cams won't get to play with her daddy for such a long time.
But I know many of you reading this have either been there, done that (or are currently going through worse) so I won't complain too much.
The hope is, come May of 2011, we can celebrate this journey in some tropical place. I think we both deserve it!:).

Oh how I want to be back on that beach too!! ;).
Good luck packing up and traveling this weekend. And have fun in DSM!
I'm so glad you get to go see family though - but hopefully the time will fly by until you & Cams can see Nate again - especially being pregnant.
If you do ANYTHING this 4th year, make sure you go somewhere fun to celebrate for graduation. It was like a honeymoon all over again, and so fun just the two of us. Y'know, between your new baby, Cams, the stresses of life ;).
Hang in there!!!! (Are you going to the Rencher reunion?)
We're going to miss you guys! Sing lots of popcorn popping to Cambri.
You DO deserve a nice vacation! Less than a year left before that dream of laying on the beach becomes reality!
We will take Cam and mystery baby while you go to Cancun. We are starting to think it should be a yearly trip!
