We are HOME! Yay! We just spent a week traveling by car through some of the most beautiful county God created. If you have any questions as to whether or not there is a God, visit the Midwest. It is just unbelievable. We had such a wonderful time. We left last Friday, and drove for 2 days to get to Wisconsin to see the Jameson side of the family. Seeing my Grandpa and my aunts and uncles was just great. I commented to Benji on the way home how significant this year has been. I have been able to see both the Carver and the Jameson side both in the same year. To people around here that is not significant. They see their relatives every Sunday for lunch. Not me. It has been years since I has seen some of this family, and I actually had to be reintroduced to a few people.
Sunday morning, we met at a little cafe in Rio, the town where my dad grew up, and had lunch. It was great. We thought we were just meeting Grandpa and his wife, and when we walked in, the entire restaurant was filled with Jamesons. The next day we visited a cheese factory and got to sample of this delicious dairy product. We also got a tour by the man that owned the place for 42 years. We are pretty important people. :-) The last day we were there we had a cook-out at my aunt Linda's place. We got to swim and eat and eat oh yeah and ...eat. I got to see cousins I had not seen since Benji and I were married. Pretty significant. It was wonderful.
On the way home we stopped in Indianapolis and stayed at an overpriced hotel and played tourist for the evening. What an amazing city.
We are glad to be home, a bit tired, and refreshed at the same time.
We have our next doctor appointment on August 14th, and we may be able to find out what the sex of the baby is at that point, so keep us in your prayers.
