Ahhh ... relaxing ...
Just have a few minutes and wanted to post a short something to those people who read this blog at all. Most of the people that do read are with me at this time, so I'm not counting on a lot of response to this post. Currently, I'm sitting on my laptop in Nags Head, North Carolina in a 12 bedroom house right on the beach. My family got together this week for our first "official" Palmer family reunion, and thanks to my brother Ben, it all happened this week. I have to give him some huge credit, as getting all my family together wasn't an easy task to complete. I have three brothers and four sisters, plus our mom and all our kids (16 in total) together in close quarters for one week.
It seems like only yesterday that Ben started planning for this, beginning with a conference call during the Winter of 2006. It also didn't help matters much that I was the head complainer, and thought this was a terrible idea to try and pull off. I guess it just pissed me off that Ben was putting this whole show together, without consulting my opinion about location, times, etc. Well, in the end, Rachel and I came up with some alternative locations, Ben listened and we talked it through with him. It finally came down to Florida or North Carolina, and since North Carolina was going to be closer and cheaper for most people, that decision was made. I got fully on board, once I saw that Ben liked the fact that someone else was getting involved and trying to come up with alternatives. So, Rachel and I pitched in and made this thing happen. Time certainly flew in between then and now, and I can't believe this week is coming to an end. I'll be blogging more in the next weeks, including pictures, once we get home and get back into our routine.
Love to all.
