I'm opening up a huge can of worms but...

My mom and stepfather have been married for almost 22 years. Now, being that they are in their 60's, I would like to have some kind of celebration for their 25th Wedding Anniversary in a few years.
Hubs and I started talking about this the other night because we will have their anniversary and the in-laws 50th within 2 years of each other. So it will take some planning and saving on our parts. I'm sure the in-laws will want to have a party in their hometown when the time comes around. I'm sure that will be subject to lots of posts about R and C.
However, with my parents, there really is not a good place to have a party. They did not group up close to each other, most of the family is spread from sea to shining sea, so therefore a party seems to involve a lot of people traveling. So, I'm going to purpose to everyone that we do a family vacation some place. That would include the 'rents, our family and my sister's family.
I spoke with mom briefly this morning and she agreed that a trip sounds great. She suggested maybe a cruise or a family trip to WDW.
I'm going to start thinking and planning, so that we can make a decision by mid-fall what we want to do. If we plan a cruise, dates, fares and information will be out by the fall of this year. If we plan a trip to WDW, I would like to do something magical and I would have to book that at least 15 months in advance.
I'm just imagining what sis is going to say.....

On another note... Sis has come out of the closet with the boy toy and they are dating. His divorce was offical this week, so they have announced it on FB. As if we did not know what was going on before... Now they can exchange lollipops and kisses in the open... lucky us!

Really????

Last night we had dinner at the in-laws house, so that Ry could work on a project with the Father-in-law. While there, the mother-in-laws retells a story that hubs and I had hear small pieces of.
First, C has to always have the latest and greatest toys, so he had to buy a new Ipad when they first came out. So, earlier this week he posted on FB that he had had the ipad stolen right out of his hands in a large metro area shopping mall. His FB story did not add up to hubs and I, but we let it go and decided to forget about it.
Last night, MIL brought up the whole situation and explained what really happened. He placed the ipad on craigs list and wanted to sell it, so that he could buy the ipad2 that was coming out this week. Someone contacted him and asked to meet at a local mall. C said yes, and they set a time and date for the meeting.
Once he arrived at the mall the other gentleman did not show up. There was a phone call in which the person claimed to not be able to find C in the crowds. He asked C to meet him right outside an entrance to the mall. Needless to say, as soon as he stepped outside the door, the person grabbed the ipad out of his hands and took off running. No one was around and he made off with the ipad...
Kinda stinks, but really what was he thinking.

A long break

I have been on a blogging break for a while because our home live was a little up in the air. Hubs ended up being layed-off from work in mid-January.
It was a very tough 3 weeks, but by Valentine's Day he was gainfully employed again. So, we have been getting use to have him work from home.
The adjustment has not be bad, except we have had to juggle the evening kid duties because hubs is working until 6 pm most night.
I do have a couple of fun E stories, so hopefully I can share them this week.
