Illinois....here we are!!!



For those of you who don't know, Avery and I are visiting the midwest. We arrived this morning in St. Louis and are now at "Mimi and Papa's" house. (A.K.A. My parent's) For my birthday, I asked Rico to buy a plane ticket for Avery and I to visit friends and family in Illinois for "a few days" while he is tied up at work during his "busy season." Rico is the Food and Beverage Director at a private country club in Sarasota. Therefore, his busy time of year (A.K.A "season") is October - April. Within that busy time, his BUSIEST of BUSY times is the entire month of November. He is busy with several events including weddings, brunches, golf tournaments, dinners, etc.

Being the PERFECT husband that he is, he did just what I asked and bought us a ticket to Illinois.......during his "busiest time." With that said, Avery and I are here for 3 weeks. It will be awesome to see friends and family and let Avery meet several family members that he has yet to meet. On the downside, we are away from daddy for quite a while and saying goodbye at the airport this morning was.........well, let's just say........ not fun. Watching all 3 of us hug and kiss each other while crying had to have been a sight to see...... wouldn't want to do that everyday...... Anyhow, we have made it here safely. We'll be staying at mom and dad's house while making several ventures out to see as many people as possible. Avery was a trooper the whole day and a joy to travel with. We just talked to daddy on the phone to tell him good night. On that note, we are off to bed.
