Shark Week all Year Long

Last night our friends Matthew and Elizabeth came over for our regular Wednesday night get together. Elizabeth has quickly picked up on my obsession with wildlife, especially SHARKS..She gave my one of, if not my most favorite birthday gifts EVER! It was the complete 20th Anniversary SHARK WEEK DVD set! I am so excited because my favorite TV week of the year is Shark Week. My husband picks on me because sharks are so exciting to me and yet they are the biggest fear that I have in life. Truly, no joking. I am from Wilmington, NC so I grew up on the coast, LOVE the water, but am terrified of sharks. I have been blessed to have only seen a very small once while I was in the water. Ok, off to watch some more SHARK WEEK! Thanks Elizabeth...

Turning 31......UGHHH

SO... I am not loving getting older. I still feel like I am 21, so it is a bit odd to me to actually be 31 years old. Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Mark and I spent the weekend in Myrtle Beach at South Beach Resort to celebrate and it was GREAT! My sister bought a time share there so we got to stay as her referral in a 2 bedroom condo at the resort. We watched movies, ate at Planet Hollywood and an ocean front restaurant called Damon's and relaxed by the pool. It was our first weekend away from our son who is 18 months (which is good for all married couples to do with children), but we were more than ready to see him again on Sunday. GREAT BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!

THANKSGIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS

We spent this whole week in the mountains of Boone, NC. The weather was perfect the first few days and nice and cold the end of the week. We celebrated Thanksgiving with Jennifer's family and celebrated her grandfather's 80th birthday on Friday. We hiked Grandfather mountain, saw lots of animals, fed horses, sat in the hot tub and ate a TON of good food. Hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving Holiday as much as we have!! Enjoy the pics....
