Life is AMAZING

I know, I know, it’s been a while since I’ve last blogged. I can’t help it really; I’ve been uber busy with family and school. In good news, I seem to have my school finally under control some what. I have been feeling a lot more confident in my writing. Regardless over what my professor thinks, I am proud of my work and that is all that matters in the end. The only bad thing is my test in English over fiction and drama terms didn’t go so well in my opinion. Half of the terms were not defined in the book or on the DVD’s. Thankfully, everyone else felt the same way and wasn’t able to find all the terms either. Hopefully I did okay but if not, it’s not a big deal. I have decided to just let things flow and try my best. If my best isn’t good enough then that’s okay because I did not slack off in anyway.

In other news, the whole health issue with my mom worked out as well. The doctor ran all the tests and blood panels which came back fine. Her doctor believes it’s related to her back. My mom is upset that it is her back since it seems to be the root of all evil but thankful at the same time that it is not something worse. I am just glad my mom is okay. Lord knows, I’m a momma’s girl and when my momma isn’t doing so well neither am I.

Oh the big news would be I am at the beach. Harbor Island, South Carolina to be exact. It’s between Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA right beside Hilton Head Island in the lowcountry. It is absolutely amazing here. The trip up here was quite eventful as it took us an hour to get around Cedartown which is ten minutes from our house due to all of the road work. Our GPS ended up getting us lost. I was trying to rely on MapQuest because their directions made more sense and would be less highways but the GPS wanted us to go major highways the whole way. Luckily, we found our way after a little while. The really cool thing was going behind the airport where the plans take off. When we were going onto I-75 from I-285 there was a plane landing that went right over our car. It was kind of scary but neat at the same time seeing the plane take up all of our vision at that moment and hearing the engines even above our already loud radio. I’ve never been on a plane or even seen what a real plane looks like. Sure, I’ve seen the little planes at our local airport that houses planes people fly for hobbies but never a commercial jet like from Delta or whatever.

After going through Savannah, the ride to Harbor Island was beautiful with all of the scenery of marshes and the ocean. I loved the bridges even though they freak my mom out. After we got here, we immediately went down to the beach. It was so pretty and Jack enjoyed himself being the curious little pup that he is. The owner of our house left us two bottles of wine, free vouchers for chocolates, and even brought us milk since we didn’t get a chance to go to the store and brought Jack some frosty paws ice cream. Jack is in Heaven and so are we. The thing that was neat about the beach is how the tide is out so there were sand bars so we could go even further out. Hopefully the tide will come back in so we can get some fun in the ocean. Until it does, we’ve had fun playing in the sand and collecting sea shells. We’ll be headed to the pool later as well.

This trip is exactly what I needed. Sitting on the beach last night really put things in perspective and made me realize how amazing life is. I just think people need a chance to get away and reflect. It made me so thankful for the little things in life God has provided me with. I have Him to thank for everything in my life.

I will blog later when I have time! For now, I’m going to take a short nap before going sight seeing and then to Wal Mart to get some things we need for later in the week. I can’t wait until we decide to go into Savannah! Donna’s friend went to Paula Deen’s restaurant and met her so hopefully she will be there when we go. So until next time, later lovelies.
