so behind

i'm so behind. it feels like in EVERY area. noticeably the blog. i LOVE blogging. it annoy's me that i'm so far behind but it probably doesn't help that i have over 2000 pictures that were taken on our Hilton Head vacation to sift through. i know. ridiculous. :)

i hate to post out of order but i may have to and fix it later. it's been a busy few weeks around here and i have so much to update on beyond the vacation.

things like a new found love of couponing, having a new patio installed, Anthony's 1/2 marathon, first time out on my sister's boat, my decision to train for and run the OBX 1/2 marathon in November, Jackson's first soccer game today, and just regular fun stuff. i have GOT to get a handle on it! y'all practically know NOTHING about me anymore. can you see i have a flair for the dramatic???

i did get bored again and changed my background. :) i was too overwhelmed to deal with the 2000 pictures so i only got one measly post up. been up since 5 this morning so i think i'll call it a night and hope i'll find some time to do more tomorrow.

hope you're having a great weekend!

Hilton Head - Day 1

We arrived on Friday afternoon, August 14, 2009. It was so GREAT to finally be together again! Anthony and the boys hadn't seen Vonda, Ian, and the girls for TWO YEARS!!! It had just been TOO long! The reunion was sweet and we picked up right where we left off.

The kids enjoyed riding the luggage carts to help Papa, Anthony, & Uncle Ian unload the cars. :)



Mimi fixed us a yummy steak dinner and then we all got ready to head the pool!
