Lately.

It's been a while since I have written, and a lot has happened.  We were supposed to leave Saturday morning, the 1st, to fly to FL to meet up with my family for a week on the beach.  I was SOO excited! The weeks leading up to this Lance's grandmother had been very sick and was sent home with hospice, so we knew the time was coming. Sadly, she passed away on May 31.  I was disappointed to miss our trip, but knew 100% we needed to head to VA instead to be with Lance's mom and family.  Thank goodness we called Delta and they only took out a $50 fee per ticket (which was only because I booked through Orbitz and they charge that fee to Delta for cancellations), and gave us a credit for the rest to use on a future flight.  We rearranged a bit of our packing and headed to be with his family Saturday afternoon.  I am so glad we went, because that is something that will be memories and important to his family forever, as we can go to the beach anytime.  We got to spend lots of time with his HUGE family and also meet 2 of his grandmother's siblings that the family had never met.  It was definitely a memorable week.  Luckily for Lance (and myself) he did not have to use any vacation time for that week since it was an immediate death in his family, so now he has an extra week to take off and do home projects! :) haha

We both have a 4 day weekend with the 4th, so instead of heading to VA as we orginially planned before that week, we are having our own mini beach vacation! I just booked our room yesterday, we will be staying at a cute litte inn at Ocean Isle, a nice secluded beach.  It sure is nice to live within a few hours of TONS of beaches! :) I can't wait to have a few days of relaxtion on the beach, lots of seafood, and quality time with just the hubby and me.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday and stays cool.. it sure is getting hot up here in NC.. whew!! :)
