Back in KY in 2009

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking in with us to start out this great year of 2009. We just got back from a wonderful vacation to Florida with my dad's side of the family. We spent a good week in Boca Grande, Florida soaking up the sun, swimming (in both the pool and the ocean), reading and sleeping in every day until at least 9:00 am. Woohoo!!! Plus we got to spend some quality time with family that we typically only get to see once or a twice a year so it is always great to catch up. I will post some pictures on here and facebook in the next few days when I have a chance so stay posted for some beach pics in the next few days.

Now, on to the serious stuff. As many of you know we drove my grandparents car down to Florida so that they could have it while they vacation through late February. This way they could have their car and use it while they the were there and have it shipped back to KY when they returned home. However, once we got to Florida (we drove all day Christmas day) we found out that Pop woke up feeling sick Christmas day and as a result he and Nana went to hospital (with the help of my saintly Uncle Chris) on the 26th only to discover that Pop had a heart attack most likely in his sleep on Christmas Eve. Needless to say that put a damper on the whole vacation because we dearly missed Nana and Pop at a vacation in which they are instrumental. Additionally, being surrounded by several doctors, Jason and I got the blow by blow of every thing that could possible happen in full detail, complete with hand gestures.

Needless to say, Nana and Pop didn't make it to Florida and Jason and I chose to drive their car back to Kentucky instead of fly so that they could have all of their things back as quickly as possible. On a positive note, Pop got to come home from the hospital on Friday (the 2nd) and seems to be doing well from all reports. However, he suffered some more damage to his already ailing heart so please keep him and my Nana in your prayers.

Alright, onto other news. Jason and I are toying with the idea of putting our house on the market since the mortgage rates are so good right now and we are convinced (or at least I am) that we could use some more space. Therefore, we have some major cleaning and organizing in our near future to get the house ready for the realtor to come and look at. Also, Jason starts back to school on Monday so wish him luck for Japanese part duex.

That's all for now. I'll post those pictures when we have a second!!
