I’m back! Sorry to fall off the face of the planet after posting Drew and Morgan’s big day last Friday! Truth be told, I had posts scheduled to show up on the blog! But alas, I have not gotten ahold of the vast world of scheduled blogging. I’m getting there I promise!

Radio silence commencing on Saturday was actually because of a much needed beach trip/anniversary celebration. I blogged last week about hitting the two year mark in our marriage and thankfully, with the help of family, we were able to celebrate that with four days in Myrtle Beach! It was so fun! We haven’t gotten to do anything just on our own, no work allowed, since our honeymoon. So needless to say, we had a blast and enjoyed sitting on the beach, reading through a ton of books, and eating PB&J’s all day every day. I’ll tell you a bit more about that adventure next week, but for now, let me just say: sometimes it is really, really good to be in a strange place with only your husband to talk to. The beach is healing to me. And using pretty much our only free weekend of the summer to vacay was such a good choice :]

Anyways, here are some feels for ya, before David and I pack up again and head to a double wedding weekend! One of those is his Dad’s wedding and the other is in Richmond and my best friend is a bridesmaid. It’s gonna be a good one guys!

• I have never been a hat person, but dang, if anyone can change me…Target can! Thanks to Target I barely took my hat off all week! (is that weird? if it’s wrong, i don’t wanna be right)
• The wrong way to put up a beach umbrella: dig a hole with your hands, carry wet sand back and forth, and pray it doesn’t chop your head off final destination style when the wind blows.
• The right way to put up a beach umbrella: make friends with someone who owns a shovel, dig a hole with said shovel, insert umbrella, tie milk jug full of sand to the top of the umbrella to way it down….enjoy the beach minus umbrella anxiety. Thanks Dan from Pittsburgh!
• How you know your husband loves you…he reads your current favorite book, discusses it with you, and wants you to read it aloud to him in the car so he can see how it ends. But seriously I am more than excited for The Fault in Our Stars to come out.
• We went to visit my family’s old vacation spot on the way back from Myrtle, Ocean Isle Beach, NC. I was immediately awash with nostalgia and exclaimed memories from the top of my lungs and told everyone I met there that my family used to go to that beach every year…TMI Kaitlyn…TMI.
