I think this is a bit overdue and may turn out to be a lot of rambling but I hope you bear with me and in the end it's a worth while read. I've started with some background, the pre-trip report is coming up in a day or so and I'll try to keep the installments coming on a regular basis. Enjoy!
Hi all........Thanks for taking the time to read my humble trippie. I've never done one before so I might not be very good at this.
Let me start off by saying I'm a planner, probably a type A personality planner. That planning paid off though as I found the DIS thanks to my insistance that we not miss anything. It also generally means more stress on me, and generally DH as he isn't a planner and I am verbally repetitive (read nag) when he disregards my plans and things don't go well.
Please allow me to set the scene for you: DH and I have been married for 7 yrs, I brought 3 children to our marriage. We have lived in Indiana for almost 5 yrs after being stranded when a job opportunity went sour. We don't really like living here and wish we were back in the south. Our house was built in 1865 was totally remodeled in the early 1980's and had very minor upkeep for several years before we bought it in 2003. We were in a bind, bought the house on a shoestring and have been trying to keep it from falling down around our ears. Everything in the house was at least 20 yrs old and we had faith to keep everything together. One of my sisters lives in town, and the rest of our family is more than 700 miles away. You could say that life hasn't been very good to us but that is about to change.
Cast:
Me
DH
T; sister who lives in town, middle child in my family
A; my 3rd sister, looks a lot like me
M; A's DH
I know, this part doesn't have much to do with our trip, but some of it is importand to the next part of the report. Y'all might want to get
and settle in. This has been 4 mos in the making and I want to do it right.
