Home Sweet Home

I made a trip to Georgia this weekend. I drove down Friday night for Ricky's 21st birthday party.
I stayed a while but left thinking for the first time in my 24 years that.....I am too old for this.
The next day Nicki and I scraped Ricky off the ground and we headed to Atlanta to see my dad and then later to my unlce Joe's house.
It was really nice seeing everyone. Asher is still very adorable. I love every moment with that little boy.
My other nephew, Aiden is moving to Macon this week so I am looking forward to getting know him too. He is 2 1/2.
I am glad to be back home. Back to my everyday schedule. I missed my doggies like something awful. I have never been away from them for more than a day.
There is nothing like that kind of greeting when you return.
I would love to write more, but I am short on time. Here are some pictures.

Pictures From Nicki's Visit

Here are some pictures that I took of Nicki and Asher.

It's a Wonderful life in South Carolina

It is hard to believe that I have been living here for 1 1/2 months. I really love my new home. It is a bit of a fixer upper....since it has been storage space the last 15 years or so. The funny and somewhat prophetic thing is that the place I stay in is an old school building. How funny is that?! Every time I am in Charleston, just driving from point A to point B, I am still amazed by this beautiful city. For the last 6 years I have been coming here with Shea for vacations and breaks. Now, to live here is simply wonderful.
One of the great places is The Battery in downtown. I enjoy walking along and taking in the beautiful view of the ocean and islands in the distance. A little piece of history.....One of the islands in the distance is Ft. Sumter. That is where the first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired.
A few days ago we went down to the Battery. I took the dogs(of course).
Here is a page I made of that day.


Here are some from the Folly Beach too.
Enjoy!

Long Time Coming

Okay...I know it has been way too long since I posted anything on my blog. There is just so much to fill everyone in on.
My my move and transition to South Carolina has been quite a little adventure. After 4 or 5 months of daydreaming and fantasizing about a fresh start here, it is a surreal to be actually living that fantasy out.
I love my new home. The Drolets have been wonderful to me. Mr. Mark has been a saint in helping me get into my house, fixing things and making this a home for me and the pups.
Mrs. Angela is also very caring to me. She has made me feel welcome here. She has shown me many places that are a part of her life. I enjoy our friendship and all the time that we spend together, from grocery shopping, walks with the dogs, cleaning to watching movies.
The dogs are also very happy here. They love to be outside in the sunshine. The heat though is a little much for them. Mr. Mark bought them a kiddo pool though. They love that! It is great for cooling off and baths.

The highlight of my move though was this past weekend. My sister and nephew came for a visit.
I got to see my nephew, Asher for the very first time. He just turned 11 months. He is so adorable and full of personality. My sister is a wonderful mother to him. He is a happy little boy!

The weekend was a lot of fun. We went to downtown Charleston on Saturday. There we had lunch and walked around to the shops. We also went to Waterfront Park downtown. The baby play in the fountain we took a walk on the pier.
On Sunday we went to Sullivan's Island. It was a wonderful experience to be there as he saw the ocean for the first time.
The last day they were here. Asher rode our pony Cricket. It was so cute. He wasn't afraid at all. He bounced up and down. As he reached forward to pet the pony, he affectionately called him "doggy."
I must have taken about a thousand pictures of them all weekend. So loading all of them would take a year! Here are some cute ones though.
