My first weekly challenge as a new IHeartFaces member is called Over My Head...It can be literally anything over someones head. Hat, umbrella, the sky, anything! I immediately thought of a picture I recently took on our family vacation. The waves were crashing onto Myrtle Beach and my husband was truly surprised by the wave that is crashing over his head. Maybe not the prettiest but we thought it was pretty cool!
It's been a while
So it has been a LONG while since I posted on this blog. But, thanks to one of my Besties I have joined the website I Heart Faces. I have to keep up with my blog so I can post entries into their weekly "contests".
My first weekly challenge is called Over My Head...It can be literally anything over someones head. Hat, umbrella, the sky, anything! I love the photos below. Maddie looks amazing in any hat. The waves coming over Bernard's head though looks cool. Can't decide? Thoughts...
Life has been crazy but I have recently remembered how important friendships are and that maintaining them may take some serious effort and time but it is very important for your health (and sanity)! It is nice to be able to celebrate the good things in your life or be able to vent about the not so great circumstances you may be going through. Many times friends are closer then your actual family, I consider a close few my "sisters" because I do not have that closeness with my own sister. I know they are there for me through thick and thin. And, I am honored to be there to celebrate or cry with them. My goal from now on is to maintain my friendships and build up those I had lost due to my crazy busy life. No matter how crammed my schedule or how tired I am at the end of the day I will always pick up a call or at the very least send a text to let my girls know I am there and I love them :-)
Summer seems to get busier every year as the kids are getting older. Currently we only have 2 or 3 weekends open for the rest of the season. The kids are enjoying every minute though. I am so proud of them and their accomplishments in the very first swim lessons. Now they have confidence in the water, not the best swimming ability yet, but definitely no fear.
We took our first family vacation of the season to Myrtle Beach! We had what I think may be the best family vacation we have ever had. We were able to relax, play on the beach, and have tons of fun doing different activities. We went to Magiquest, Ripley's Aquarium, and spent lots of time at the water park. Myrtle Beach is where the kids began building their confidence in the water. It was a dream vacation. The moments I miss the most were the simplest. Every night I sat on the balcony with one of the kids and read bedtime stories. We then just sat there cuddling and staring off at the ocean and chatting with one another. Those moments were just so calm and peaceful. During the craziness of everyday life we don't often get those moments because we are too wrapped up in the rest of the world to realize how important those are!
Our next family vacation will be to NH. The whole family (The 4 of us plus my step-daughter Gabby, My Mom, Dad, Sister Val and nephew Joel) will be staying at our home away from home. I am sure I will have plenty to say when I get back! Til then everyone remember your friends and how much they mean...
