My Arrival Home To Do List

With our return to Texas coming so near, we can't help but think of all the things we want/have to do once home.  There are so many things actually, that we decided to make a list, as to not forget a single important one!

Hey Bean, Which way is home?

1. Catch up on ALL missed episodes of my favorite shows, which include, "True Blood", "How I Met Your Mother", "Modern Family", "Once Upon a Time", etc, etc. (TV/Cable is very sporatic on the road and downloading is not an option with the always terrible free wi-fi available at RV parks.)

2. Move back into my house, as everything is either in the garage or in my mom's house.  (I hope you see my priorities here, #1, #2.)

3. School shop for Loralai.  SO EXCITED!!!  (She says she will wear skirts now, in addition to her dresses, so a shopping we will go!)

4. Get Loralai on an earlier sleep schedule.  This may kill us both, but we have no choice.  Our days of sleeping until 9:30am are very numbered.

5. Host and attend as many friend and family get togethers as possible!  (WE MISSED YOU GUYS!!!)

6. Host a dinner party....with a theme and creative table setting.  (Joe's totally on board for this....no, really!)

7. Do some interior updating at the house.

8. Jump back into work!  SELL SELL SELL

9. Hold some new babies that were born while I was gone.

10.  Get some chickens (and maybe rabbits and goats) and plant a garden.  (One negative of RV traveling, is that you are stuck eating grocery store food more often then not.  Looking forward to home grown foods.)

11. Plan Lorlai's 5th Birthday Party.  Eeeek....5 Already!!!

12. Go to Chuy's and Maudie's, and Thunder Cloud Subs and EAT!

13. Get our YMCA membership.  (Working out is another challenge of RV life.  Although, I was inspired by hoola-hoop lady.)

14. Drink a beer at our new Whole Foods.  (Thanks for the heads up Julia!)

15. Compost and recycle.  (Seriously missed doing both as composting is impossible on the road and recycling is so sporatic from place to place!!!)

16. Get the truck washed.  (It is surprisingly difficult to find one of these on the road and the truck has not been washed since we left because of this!)

17.  Get hair cuts.  (We all know Joe needs one, but so do the rest of us, especially Loralai after the cut she gave herself.)

18. Mani and Pedi, STAT.  (I'm so relieved to know an affordable place to go, close to the house, where I probably won't get a foot fungus...YAY!)

19. Sit on our porch.  (We love our porch!)

20. Have Joe cook something in our new oven that we have not yet used.  (We had to get a new one while on the road, when we got renters.)

We are all very excited about our return!  One of the greatest things about a long trip, is that it makes you appreciate ALL the little and big comforts of HOME!

See y'all soon!

Wake me when we get there.
