Vacation almost over

So I have done an excellant job at keeping up this blog over our vacation! LOL! We took Carly to the aquarium on Tuesday and she loved it! We will be going back soon. Other than that this week has been very uneventful. Just cleaning the house and relaxing. We did go out to dinner for our anniversary on Tuesday. We had a great time. I still have pictures to put up for that too. We are going to join another family at their church tomorrow and we are really looking foward to it. Hopefully, it will be the church that we have been looking for.

Just relaxing

Well, I have 7 days left until vacation starts and I can't wait! I am in desperate need of a vacation. Time to focus on my family and nuture new and old friendships. I am so beat from all this work that I have been doing lately and I feel no accomplishment. My job has become exactly that... a job. I want to do something that makes a difference, something that makes me feel good. I know what I would like to do but I just don't have a desire to go to school. And that is ok. I want a break so badly and James needs one as well. We are going to take Carly to the aquarium for the first time over our vacation. That will be fun. I am sure she will have a blast.

PS I started another blog too. It is all about my poetry if you guys are interested in reading it. Not much up there yet but there will be soon.

Vacation is 2 weeks away...

I can't wait. I need time away from my job, away from everything for a while. It seems that the only person I can rely on is my husband and I thank God for him. He is my strength and my life. We have been married for almost 5 years now and while we have had some bad times, some really bad times, we always seem to make it work. He is the one true friend I have. This vacation is going to be interesting because I had a bunch of playdates lined up for Carly and now that they are all gone we aren't going to be doing much. It is a shame things didn't work out for us but that is ok. We are moving on and maybe this other group will be what we are looking for. More later!

Vacation update...

While the storm was here last night James and I started doing some research to see what we could afford so we could get awayfor a little while. I went to hotels.com and typed in Myrtle Beach. A bunch of hotels popped up. We went to a bunch of the hotels' websites and we found one that we liked so we we put in our vacation dates. BINGO! We got an awesome deal. Fora 5 day 4 night stay the room is only going to be $158.64! CHEAP! We can afford that. It is a small room but hey we aren't going to be in the room that much anyways right? So we are very excited. Looks like things are starting to turn around for us after all.


Guess I better update everyone for after the storm. We have power and never lost it. It really doesn't even look like anything ever came. No limbs in the yard, no water in the yard, nothing blown over. Just a heavy shower over here really. Although there was heavy wind. All and all, no big deal.

Some disappointing news.

So James and I have been planning our 1st family vacation for about 2 months now and we were planning on taking it the first full week of October. First we were going to DC, his cousins live up there and they said we could stay with them anytime we wanted. But then they never got back to us. So then we decided we would go to the Virginia Beach area. I have a cousin that lives up there and they wanted us to come up and stay with them for a while. We were all set to go and then we find out that they are going to have to work that whole week that we are there. no big deal to us. We didn't care. We would just go shopping and stuff until they got home, you know, and then spend time with them. Well, they didn't like that. They want us to come while they are off. Sorry, we can change our whole vacation days because you are working. I know it isn't their fault but geez! Something has got to start going right for us around here. Now we are stuck at home, again, like we always do because we can't afford a rental car AND a hotel. I am so bummed right now.
