North Carolina Pictures

Here are a few pics from our trip to Kill Devil Hills, NC.

The beach at mile post 7, about a 1/3 mile from our house.



B.J. at Avalon Pier. It was ghetto.



You can't really see in this pic, but the pier looked like it was about ready to collapse at the next strong gust of wind. We did not stay long.



The boys playing in the surf.



There was a putt putt place across the street from our house so we went one night. It was alot of fun, even though I am not good at golf. I look insane in this picture.



B.J. and I after the wedding ceremony which was on the beach.



Our last night in NC we drove up to the town of Duck for dinner. It was MUCH MUCH nicer than Kill Devil Hills, and if we ever went back to the outer banks, we would stay here. We ate outside at Fishbones Sunset Grille, and saw this spectacular sunset.





Overall it was a good trip. I read three books, the His Dark Materials trilogy, by Philip Pullman. They were excellent, especially The Golden Compass. Although this trilogy is like most, where the first book is the best, and the rest are not as great, I would still highly recommend them.

Things are about to get busy for me. I am preparing to sell the shirts and onesies I make on July 31st. A friend of mine sells Premiere Designs jewelry, and she is having an open house with her jewelry, Tastefully Simple food, somebody selling kids books, and asked if I would like to set up a booth and sell my crafty items. I said I would, and have started getting stuff ready for that. So, look forward to some info on this soon!

Busy Week

Sometime soon I will get around and post some pictures from our trip to North Carolina. It's been a crazy week. B.J. had to go back to NC on Tuesday for work, and he is gone until Thursday night, so I have been a single mom for the past few days. It's tiring, and I don't know how single mom's do it. Hopefully I can get around to downloading the pics and posting a few this weekend. Overall it was a good time, despite the forest fires, really hot weather, and wedding drama. The best part was the seafood, I ate a ton of crab, scallops, and mahi mahi. It was awesome.

The Outer Banks

We are leaving bright and early Sunday morning for Kill Devil Hills, NC and I cannot wait! I am excited to go on vacation since it's been forever since I have been anywhere. Of course I am a little stressed about leaving Mia for a week, but I know she will have so much fun at my parents. My mom already has a ton of stuff planned for the week. But I have a feeling that I will cry after we drop her off on Saturday, I will miss her so much! I feel worse about putting Flanagan in a kennel, he is going to be more stressed out than any of us. But it's a great kennel in a country setting and he will get three walks a day and lots of attention. I will still miss him, he is my furry baby.

I am so looking forward to relaxing at the house we rented, there is a pool and it's just a short walk to the beach. We don't have any definite plans except for the rehearsal dinner on Wednesday, and Joe and Erica's wedding on on Thursday. I just hope the weather is nice and sunny.

So I still have much to do before we leave, I need to finish packing and then clean the house up a bit. I do not want to come back to a messy house! Saturday will be a busy day, we are dropping off Flanagan in the morning, then taking Mia to my parents. Later then we are bringing our luggage to Nick and Christina's to pack the car so we can leave at 5:00am Sunday morning. Sometime in there the yard needs mowed! So much to do!

I will post pictures when I get back, have a good weekend and week everybody!
