The Labor Day before the Labor

Because Maranda is pregnant with twins, we cannot travel past the last week of October. By travel, I mean that Maranda cannot go further than an hour away from the hospital where she plans to deliver.

Checking our schedules this week, Maranda realized that October is almost packed, so if are going to visit family and friends in East Tennessee, we would need to do so in September. So this weekend, we are heading back to Greenback and Maryville to see Maranda’s side of the family. On the last weekend of September, we’ll travel back to Sale Creek and Dayton for my side of the family and the baby shower Mom is throwing for us at White Oak Baptist. It will be good to see everyone.

After that, we won’t be traveling home until February or March 2007. It seems so odd not to be going home for Thanksgiving or Christmas. At least East Tennessee can come to us this year. We could be separated like many of the Armed Forces around the globe. In comparison, three hours doesn’t seem that far away. ~A
