Yes I Know!

I know I have done a horrible job at updating lately, but life somehow keeps getting ahead of me. The last few weeks have been utter chaos. I left a job that I loved to start a new one that I am loving even more! I miss my bosses' but I am enjoying having the freedom to be more creative and having so much fun taking the "ball and running with it". This job is definitely more of a brain bruiser, but I am loving being mentally exhausted and excited for the next day!

Memorial day weekend, we traveled down to Lake Norman. Lake Norman is seriously my happy place, its my zen. I love it. We get to spend time with one of the greatest families that I have had the priviledge to get to know. They are whatcha call good people. When we found out we were pregnant, Ramona also had just learned of her happy news! Its exciting now to watch the little ones play and we are so excited that they will grow up knowing each other and being lifelong friends!

So sunday night after the kiddies FINALLY went to bed (apparently Maggie & Britten decided amongst themselves that napping was not apart of their day on sunday) all of us "adults" were sitting on the porch, chatting, laughing, drinking a few cold ones. I stood up, thought I felt something slimy under my foot but I didn't want to draw attention to myself because for some reason I felt that stepping on a slug would be embarrassing or something. So, Ramona screamed OH MY GOD there is a snake, YEP, I totally stepped on a snake. We all went running faster than I have ever seen 4 old, totally out of shape adults run. The snake was HUGE, probably 4ft long and quite plump around. Yah, I didn't have sweet dreams that night :)

The weekend was fantastic, Britten went on his first boat ride, he loved the wind in his hair, he got in the water for the first time and didn't cry! Its amazing to watch experiences happen for the first time in the eyes of my son, these are the times I will always cherish and remember!
