Home Safe and Sound

Thank you all for your well wishes for safe travel. We got home early this morning (1:30am) and I must say, home feels good. The hotel bed was comfy cozy but truly there's nothing better than sleeping in your own bed, with your own pillows!

Jake is home now too so all is well in my world! He hasn't left my side and is scooted up so close to me right now. He missed his momma! Howard went out and got him a McDonald's hamburger and he scarfed down that hamburger patty so fast! Life in Jake's world is well again too!

There were 28 wonderful comments on my Hawaiian giveaway, thank you! To make things easy, I asked Howard to randomly give me 5 numbers between 1-28 to select the winners, sooo...

April #3, Emma #8, Deb #9, Tammy Howard #16, and Connie #25, congratulations!

Just email me your address and soon you'll be receiving good mail from Maui (April, I still have your address). The only bad thing about giveaways for me is that I'd like to send out something to everyone! You're all winners in my book!

Thank you ALL again for following along with me on this enjoyable vacation. I read and appreciated every sweet comment you left! I shed more than a few tears yesterday. This trip was especially hard to leave because it was the most relaxing 2 weeks of my life. I ate very healthy, I exercised, and I spent time with God. I feel like these last 2 weeks were life changing for me in alot of ways. I feel rejuvenated!

Hey, I think I'm even ready to tackle Christmas now!

Glad you made it home OK, sounds like the best trip in the world, especially if you feel ready to tackle Christmas. I need one of those!
Glad the dog could get his happy life back too! McD's??? Really?? Are you one of "those" people? Does he ride in your car and eat AT the table?
