glenn fam vacay part 1

A week on vacation, there’s not much better. Am I right?  But, let me back up and document our weekend BEFORE we left for vacation. 

 

As much as I LOVE to go, go, go I also like to have weekends at “home” …doing fun stuff.  Especially now that we live on the lake, I don’t want to be out of town all the time.  So, because I had been out of town the first two weekends, I wanted to be HOME the next two.  On Friday July 21 we didn’t do anything….  But get ready for vacation.  It takes a lot of work!  It was also nice downtime with the kids.  We spent that Saturday morning busting our butts around the house/yard tidying up for being gone a week.  And then the rest of the day was spent hanging out on the water with friends. We had the best time watching the kids play and catching up with some of our besties who we don’t see very much.

 

But, by 7:30 am Sunday morning, we were up and at ‘em ready to get to BEAUFORT.  We took the boat, so we had to get it out of the water, take the dog to my in laws, pack a bazillion things…. You know how it goes. We finally got on the road around lunch, just in time to stop and eat, ha!  Anyways, we made it to Beaufort around 4:30 and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon/evening of swimming in the pool and celebrating a super late father’s day and Mikey’s birthday with my family!  

 

Our weather forecast for the week was pretty horrible, but it ended up being WAY better than I thought.  It rained half the day Monday, but then was gorgeous so we spent the afternoon swimming and then enjoyed a sunset cruise on the intracoastal. My brother’s family and my mom stayed until Tuesday morning and then we were on our own for several days.  We went to Hunting Island state park Tuesday, it is one of the PRETTIEST beaches and we had the BEST day.  It was gorgeous and all of the kids enjoyed the beach for hours.  The boogie boards were a favorite and the waves were perfect for little ones.  We ended Tuesday ngiht with a dinner out and early bedtimes for all:-)

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...
