I can't believe how long it has been since I've last written a blog! I guess i was too consumed with finishing up the semester and being busy with work. Anyways... since then I've been enjoying my 2 1/2 week long summer before summer school starts :( Although 2 1/2 weeks is way too short for a summer, I've enjoyed it! I have seen lots of family, hung out with friends, and most importantly took a vacation to GEORGIA!!
Two days ago, me, Cole, my mom and Steve got back from St. Simons Island, Georgia. For those of you that don't know, Steve goes there once a month for business, so this time, me and Cole got to tag along! I was excited to go because I had been before, about 4 or 5 years ago, and I just had fond memories of it because it is such a beautiful, peaceful place. Cole had never been to Georgia... or St. Simons more specifically... and he fell in love. He talks about how he wants to move there after finishing school.
While we were in St. Simons, we got to do all sorts of fun stuff! We shopped at the village (which is sooo cute), we kayaked (thank you mom for not tipping us over :)), we rode bikes all around Jekyll Island and St. Simons, we laid on the beach (and got tan!), we painted pottery, we ate tonsss of food and most importantly...we relaxed! It was so nice just to take a vacation and enjoy new scenery. Two or three times during the trip, I stopped to thank God for giving me the opportunity to be there enjoying life... that's how you know life is good! I was glad I had time to "stop and smell the roses."
Here's a pic of me and Cole biking around St. Simons Island. It was my favorite thing to do there :)
I'm sad that I'm not "on island time" anymore and relaxing, but at least I got the opportunity to go there! I'm trying to get back into the swing of things, but its not so easy :(
