Not Much To Report...

I know I haven't blogged in forever, but I honestly don't have much to report. I'll give you a run down of the last few weeks though.

My travels started with a trip to my Aunt's house in Richmond, VA where I had the privileged of sharing with her ladies' bible study (of over 50 women!). It was an amazing and very humbling experience, and I REALLY enjoyed it! They were so welcoming and encouraging!! It was also really great to spend some time with my Aunt and Uncle (my mom was there too, but I see her a little more often than I see my aunt and uncle).

We stayed in Richmond until Thursday morning, and then my mom and I drove to NC to get ready for our beach vacation. I still had my AIM stuff to do, so I stayed pretty busy at my parents' house.

On Saturday morning we loaded up the car and drove to the beach!! It was only a 2 hour drive, which was SO nice!! Tuesday was a 4 hour train ride for me, then Thursday was a 3 hour drive and finally another 2 hours on Saturday. It was nice to get there and stay for a while!!

My brother and his fiance had some car trouble on their way down and my dad ended up having to drive about and hour and a half to pick them up. Their car was fixed during the week and provided some stress, but not too bad. Its as good as new now!!

The week itself was wonderful, and extremely boring to write about. Since there were no kids, there wasn't a lot of excitement, haha. Each day consisted of relaxing, reading, sitting on the beach, taking walks, watching TV and sleeping. We did go to the North Carolina Aquarium one afternoon, which was pretty cool (although not as good at the NJ aquarium). My dad's camera has most of the pictures, but here is a fun one of my brother:

That's about it! So exciting, huh? It was REALLY nice to have a week away, although my mind was going a mile a minute the whole time, but I will have to write more about that stuff later.

Anyway, on Saturday I came back to Philly. My parents dropped me off at the airport at 6 a.m. (after getting up at 4:30!) and I flew from NC to Atlanta, then boarded a plane in Atlanta and got back to Philly a little after noon.

On a quick side note, Delta has to be the worst airline ever. Despite me booking my flight over a month ago, they never let me choose seats. In fact, they didn't assign me a seat until I got to the gate in Atlanta and I ended up with a middle seat for the 2 hour flight from Atlanta. Then, I had to wait over an hour to get my bag and when I did get it, it was broken! One of the wheels had come off and the handle was broken. Every bad experience I have had with flights has come from Delta. Just wanted to get that out.

So, after FINALLY getting home, I had just enough time to shower, get dressed, pick Bonita up and then head to a wedding. I honestly wasn't too excited about the wedding, but it turned out to be a lot of fun! It was a couple that has been through a lot to get down the aisle, so it was really neat to be a part of their day.




(This is my favorite pic from the wedding. I couldn't get Lindsay to smile though!)

I came home from the wedding exhausted! My house and car were a mess (I left the car a mess, Gizmo made the house a mess), but I was way too tired to do anything about it, so I just went to bed, haha.

Yesterday started my return to normal. I went to church, lunch with friends, then came home and started the cleaning process. My car is FINALLY clean, my house is at least bearable and I plan on taking care of my room tonight.

And this morning, I went to my spinning class. :) Now, onto my day...

I guess I'm home.
