Updates

Its been two weeks since I last updated. I do not like that!

A lot has happened in two weeks. Firstly, we spent last weekend at my parents' and went to Sandy Neck beach with them. They have a sticker, so they can drive right on the beach. It was so much fun and Maddie loved the beach. Then we had my cousin Alan's wedding. VERY Interesting! I had a ball!! I drank too much wine which is always fun!! Becky (my sister) and I danced non stop and just had so much fun together the whole night. (Funny story, we had the same dress on!! different colors, but we had bought the same dress at different times and just thought it was hysterical so we had to wear them to this wedding!! it fit the awkwardness of the evening anyways!)

Last week was simply a full week of working and getting things ready for the students to come back (they come back a week from tomorrow!) I can't believe that this summer is already coming to an end for me!

This past weekend was a blast. We went back to my parents house for the weekend. Friday we went out on the beach again... this time though, we were "spoken to" and given a written warning for drinking on the beach! Oh geeze, I'm an RD and I was written up!!! But then I did what any good RD would do and poured the Sam Light into a Diet Pepsi can and drank it that way!! It was very comical actually, telling my parents how to get by the "no alcohol barrier" with sneakiness that my students use! Other than that, the beach was a great time! Maddie slept on the blanket - even when we moved the blanket to avoid high tide, she stayed asleep as we dragged her up the beach. She was great. Barely any tantrums all weekend!
Saturday, my sister and brother-in-law renewed their vows on the beach in Chatham. They've been married for 10 years and this was their anniversary gift to each other. They had a party with all of their friends over afterwards. That was a blast too. Becky looked beautiful. She bought a white satin gown (which was probably a size 8 because she's done so great losing weight) and just is so happy!
I will post pictures as soon as I upload them.

Sunday, we went to church with my parents (which is a must in my household... I don't EVER remember a Sunday morning growing up where we didn't go to church). I actually love that though. And going this Sunday made me miss church a lot. We NEED to find a good fit around here. My best friends were made in church and through the Lord, I want that for Maddie.

Then we hung out at their house on the back deck.

Look for "Graditude Friday on Tuesday tomorrow..."
