Myrtle 2013

Well...as usual, time has slipped away. I'm so behind, but I really feel strange when I stay on top of things. Anyway. This year Jamie and I ran away to Myrtle Beach with two very excited and pale skinned boys. I hyped it up so much, because let's face it, that's what I do best. We snuck out early in the a.m. Charlie looked up as I carried his wrapped up little self out, and said, "Where are we going, Mama."  "To the beach hunny." He smiled a sleepy smile, "That's what I've been wanting you to say." They both slept in their trunks. The trip down was very pleasant. Thanks to my mom who made them two super fun activity books, and my sister who hooked us up with an entire season of "Duck Tales."
  We spent the week splashing and eating and splashing and eating. The Ward family rocked the lazy river! Charlie spent a little time avoiding the over-serious pool cop, and Hootie went from pool to pool. We spent some times doing the traditional wave jumping. Charlie and I ate enough seafood to choke a shark! No joke. LOVED IT. Although I gained 5 pounds, but I brought back much more. We hunted crabs, played mini golf, rocked the aquarium, watched a poolside movie, and laughed and laughed and laughed. Hootie even realized he was not a fan of fast amusement park rides. "Dis scares me, dis scares me!!!" Ha ha
   Every time we get away, just us, together. It is always so nice. I am reminded that I am exactly where I want to be in my life. It may not be the life others envy or even understand, but I love it. These memories are the ones that will matter one day. I am so thankful for the week we had. It was more than fun, and I hope my boys feel the same.
