HAPPY! :)

I had the great pleasure of driving to St. Simons Island in Georgia over the weekend!  My mom and sister went with me and we had a wonderful time!  The occasion?  My dear friend, Julie was getting married!  The journey was long (about 12 hours) but SOOOOOO worth it.  I needed a break.  And now I'm home.  Were my kids happy to see me?  Well, Blake was.  Lola was upset I came home and ruined her father/daughter bonding.  Huh.  Anyway, I was happy to see them!  Here is a list of 5 things that made me happy while on my vacation.  I should also mention that getting a third degree sunburn (at least that's what I'm calling it) is the worst thing about the trip.  And yeah, I should have listened to my mom and applied sunscreen.  Needless to say, I will be happy when it goes away and I can sleep again at night!  Okay, on with the happy.....

1.  I got to see several dear friends from high school and it was awesome.  It also made me happy to be able to attend the wedding of two friends!  I love people in love.  For reals.

2.  Subway sandwiches.  I say this because I ate there three days in a row....for lack of anything better when on a diet while traveling.  For the record.....I don't want a Subway sandwich anytime soon.  Even if they are delicious and they made me happy!  I give mad props to Jared, the Subway dude, for eating there every day for a bajillion years.

3.  Seeing the ocean.  And swimming in the ocean.  Well, by swimming, I mean walking out into the water and standing there.  That's about all I did in the ocean.  There were a lot of people there and I'm not too fond of parading around in my bathing suit.  If you catch my drift.  But I did enjoy being on the beach!

4.  Getting a break from life was pretty nice.  However, I was a little concerned the world would be ending on the 21st.  I wasn't with my hubby and kids.  Which was slightly disappointing.  But at least I had my mom and sister.  And some rice cakes (also a dieting girl's best friend).  Since the rapture thingy didn't happen and we're all still here, I guess I really had nothing to worry about!  And escaping my 24/7 mothering duties was just what I needed.  Thank you, Billy! :)

5.  Spending quality time with family.  It was fun.  And we did a lot of shopping.  And we did a lot of walking.  And talking.  And laughing.  It was amazing!  Thanks, gals!  We made some pretty great memories!
