Destin


Well, it's only May and all of our vacations are already over for the year...that kind of stinks, huh? I am, however, happy to be at home and be surrounded by my own stuff, it'll be nice to just be for a little while.
We had a great time in Destin. We went with Brian's family, and it was a really good trip. The best part of the trip was finding out that Brian was not going to be laid off from his job on Thursday while we were there. We found out a couple of weeks ago that there was a STRONG possibility that he would be, as one of Merck's drugs was blocked by the FDA. Merck's plan was to lay off Brian's whole division in addition to the bottom 10% of all reps!!! YUCK. Well, thank God, Brian was ranked high enough that he was slid into someone else's slot. We are soooo thankful to still be employed and we know that alot of our family are sighing in relief that we aren't going to have to move a trailer into their backyards!! One quick story, we were at Seaside for the day when Brian had his phone call to find out if he was let go or not. He was in the car on the phone and Addie Grace, Sawyer and I were sitting at a table in front of the car waiting for the verdict. I had told him as soon as his boss told him to give me the thumbs up or thumbs down so that I wouldn't have to wait the whole conversation to find out...anyway, he gave me the thumbs up and so I was really excited and Addie Grace apparently picked up on what this meant, and as a man was passing by our table, smiling at the kids, Addie Grace yelled (in her most dramatic voice), "I CANNOT BELIEVE MY DADDY HAS A JOB!!!"...like he's been out of work for the last 5 years or something...she's such a goof!! The man just kind of looked at us curiously and kept walking.
Anyway, on with the show...here are some pictures of our trip...

They are so cute! That is hilarious what Addie Grace said at the restaurant. Since Alex isn't even talking really I don't have to worry about that:) I love the family beach picture.
