I've missed you! Mr. Wonderful took me on a little road trip, one that involved bubbling in-room jacuzzis, and a visit to Greenville, SC, for the first time to visit family who just moved there.
The time since I last blogged has included:
1.) hosting a niece, nephew, and friend sleepover, (in our tiny beach apartment!)...it was their FIRST slumber party. They rocked out.
2.) floating in the ocean and getting more than my fair share of sun
3.) visiting family and hanging out on the back porch in South Carolina
4.) shopping at outlets along I-95
5.) losing one of our kitties :( it was Mr. Wonderful's "baby"... only 3 1/2. He spent several nights at the vet and was diagnosed with kidney problems and wasn't going to get better.
6.) having some serious drinks after that happened...
7.) then taking the road trip, which I thought was good to get our minds off what just happened instead of being in the newly changed house...
8.) seeing my step-dad fight neuropathy, and my mom taking amazing care of him...
9.) seeing my hubby and parents have the best visit ever since it was just the four of us for the first time since we got married... every other visit has been a major life event not really allowing a quality time kind of visit...
10.) riding along I-95 and listening to Mr. Wonderful sing along with the radio to songs such as "Come From a Long Line of Lovers..."
and I will leave you with those lyrics:
I bought a beautiful diamond ring I offered it to the sweetest thing I know
And she said she would take it
We started making some wedding plans she looked at me and she took my hand
And said are you sure we can make it
I said my grand dad's still in love with my grandma
I said my dad still thinks my moms the sweetest thing he ever saw
I come from a long line of love
When the times get hard we don't give up
Forever is in my heart and in me blood
You see I come from a long line of love
Years went by and we had a son now he thinks he found someone for him
And they're planning a wedding
He called me up on the phone today just to see what I had to say to him
Did I think he was ready?
I said what his grandfather used to say to me
Its been handed down for ages it runs in our family
You come from a long line of love
When the times get hard we don't give up
Forever is in your heart and in your blood
Son you come from a long line of love
We come from a long line of love
I am planning our next vacation...join in for the "research" process.... 
This looks pretty much perfect! 
The jacuzzi with this view: I might never leave.
At the Crane Hotel and Residences in Barbados...
This could work... 
Do you feel the lovely walk here? 
If you have paradise to match this, please send me in the right direction! 
You can use this pool or your very own plunge pool... 
The breezes here would work just fine.... 
I think this is an acceptable spot for breakfast. 
Do you have your sunglasses? 
How is the water? 
Look at this adorable flower! 
Sweet Dreams!
