Summer So Far

Wow, have I been a slacker or what? Been busy and just have gotten lazy with trying to blog. Here's the highlights...

I have a wonderful family and they decided that it was time for me to finally visit NH. I can't thank my Grandparents and my cousin enough! I was so excited I could barely contain myself. But the thought of flying alone, sure calmed me down a bit. Those of you that know me, my anxiety tries to rule my life. Flying alone would of been completely out of the question a couple years ago. But I bit the bullet and went for it. The flights up to NH out of NC were great...besides a slight headache, I loved it...flying home was another story...after a canceled flight and sitting in the airport 11 hours (thank you thunderstorms), myself and one other passenger were able to squeeze onto a late standby flight, otherwise it would of meant a night at the airport for a morning flight...sooo glad that didn't happen. I had a WONDERFUL time up there though, so

much fun! I also got to see my first movie at a drive-in, twice even!☺

Oh, and despite making sure I had lots of batteries and room on my camera for pictures...and I quote "I suck" because I hardly look any pictures...unfortunately all the great memories in my head can't transfer into photos...but here are the few I managed to take...

Got a chance to go to the beach and put my feet in the sand...

Where I grew up! Gardens look more grown, pretty much looked the same...

Beepa's ol' house looked just the same.

Just before I left NH, Vicki put the final touches on the beautiful quilt she made me...I love it!

Back home for my birthday...I turned 29...last year in my 20's, how did that happen?

Got beautiful flowers delivered for my birthday ☺

Going through this divorce has had its ups and downs. One thing I didn't like was my finger felt naked. After years of wearing rings on it every day, it didn't feel right. So as an early birthday present/starting my new life gift, I was able to get a ring while up in NH (which made it just all that more precious to me). I love it down here, but I still miss it up there. I can't wait until I can visit NH again. ☺
