sorry its been so long...

we've been being boring people!

Keith had to work Memorial Day weekend so we didn't make any plans. He got Monday off unexpectedly though, so we went kayaking.

The Dan River Company offers a shuttle to take you (and your kayak) upriver 6 or 13 miles and then you just go down back to your car. Its a pretty sweet deal -- no upriver kayaking (because you all KNOW I would whine about that!!)

Too bad for us about 1 1/2 miles into our 6 mile trip it started lightning and thundering... oops! Maybe the middle of the river wasn't the best place to be! So we kept on until we made it to a spot we could drag our boats out and wait out the rain. AND RAIN IT DID! Oh well, we were in our bathing suits anyway. I'm not a big fan of rain on my face but I dealt with it :)

Once the heavy rain stopped (LIKE TWENTY MINTES LATER!) we got back in the water and continued down stream. It never really stopped raining, but it was pretty fun anyway.

No photos though, camera can't take the rain!

5:30 is so early

I've begun working out before work. After work I am so tired, and if I just get up and do it in the morning, its better for me.

That said, I really should have done it on a week I wasn't scheduled to open-- at 7:45!! That means I need to be up out of bed at 5:30 to have shower and coffee and news time. Next week will be better, because I don't have to be to work until 8:45 so I can sleep in until 6:30.

Today, Keith got up when I hit the snooze (okay, the second time I hit the snooze) and made coffee, fed the cat, and turned on the lights to help me get up. He is awesome !!

busy day yesterday

So yesterday a branch in Virginia needed some people to cover so they could all go to a funeral (sad).

The worst part? No one from any of the nearby branches would go help them!! So I went, because really, if it were me I'd want someone to go. I drove an hour there and back to work for about five hours, but Karma made it up to me because I just got to go home for the day after I was done. I got home at 3 and just got to chill until my softball game (which we lost, of course).

Now today I don't go in until 1 o'clock, but I'm having lunch with a friend at 11:30 so I'd better get my chores done and get dressed.

a night alone...

I worked in the morning and Keith worked this afternoon and is working until late tonight... so I'm packing!!

I know its early, but I feel like I just want to get a move on things-- plus it looks better if certain things are packed away. So that is technically my project for tonight... although how much I will actually do is still to be seen.

I really want to go to the beach in a few weeks. I don't know how I lived so far away from the ocean for so much of my life. I love every thing about it. The vendors, the sun, the sand, the water, the sounds, I don't even hate the birds (that much).

So it looks like my actual project is going to be finding a beach to go to, lol.

Sadface

We are in the car on our way back to NC. This is my least favorite thing to do-- I would rather clean toilets.
I just hate sitting in the car for 8+ hours heading back to real life. I love getting back to my house and my stuff but its so hard to leave a place where (almost) everyone wants to see us and spend time with us and do stuff for us.
Maybe that's just my spoiled self talking, lol.
I do enjoy spending eight hours with my hubby-- we have a lot to talk about these days!

Here we come ...

tomorrow is the day we come home!!!!

I. Am. So. So. So. Excited!!!!!!

It has been four months since we have been home-- one of the longest stretches we've ever gone. I can't wait. See you soon!!!

!!!!

Its my favorite day of the YEAR!!!!!

I know its probably silly for me to still get excited about birthdays but I DO NOT CARE!

This is my favorite FAVORITE day of the year. It is the day I get up early and spend the whole day being happy and not doing anything I don't want to do. I'm going to wear a dress any new Hello Kitty headband (thanks Brinda!).

I LOVE THIS DAY ♥♥♥♥♥
