Just about a month ago we went on our annual beach trip!  We went for the second year in a row to Seacrest Beach, FL (it ends up being about 45 minutes East of Destin).  We love it there!  We rented another cute house just off the beach (about 100 steps to the beach) and enjoyed our week's stay.  If only the weather had cooperated.  It as 70*, overcast and wiiiinnnddyyy.    I know!  Unless you are from the South, 70* doesn't sound bad - but it made it to where we only had about 1 full day of sun on the beach.  Not exactly what you want when you are there to soak up some sun, enjoy the waves and relax.  Needless to say, I got caught up on some reading, TV shows and napping.  It was nice to just be away.  Better weather next year! Here are just a few pics from our stay.  I didn't really take a lot since it was either raining or we were inside most of the time.  Awake and ready to go...loooong drive! Our cute hous...

Ok, so I'm a little bit more excited about this Friday than normal.   Why?  Hubby and I are going to a NEEDTOBREATHE concert tonight!!!!  (They are SO SO SO good live!)  and then we are headed to the beach (Seacrest Beach, FL to be exact) for 7 days starting tomorrow!  Can I get an AMEN?!  ( AMEN! )  So, naturally I am pretty stoked for today.  Ok, now on to today's letters, cuz that's what we're here for, right? Dear Hubby:   Thank you for arranging our trip to the beach!  It worked out just perfectly this year, and God knows we need a good vacation.  I am glad you work so hard - but I am also glad we get some time off together! Dear Ever Expanding Family:  ...

It's that time again - FRIDAY!!  I am linking up with Ashley over @ The Sweet Season Blog for Friday's Letters.  It's been a while! beach! beach! beach! :):) beach! beach! beach! (photo not edited - look at those colors!) Dear April:   Yay!  You are here!  You are going to be a fun and busy month.  New job, Hubby traveling, nephew's birthday, NEEDTOBREATHE concert and....THE BEACH! Dear Beach Vacay:   The countdown in ON !  We are so excited to be headed your way again this year.  Now, weather, don't let us down! Dear Hubby:   I have not properly thanked you (on my blog, which I'm pretty sure you don't read!) for being such a great mover!  We moved in a record amount of time thanks to your planning...and muscles!  So, thank you!  You rock. Dear Weather:   You are confusing both me and my allergies.  40 degrees and 75 degrees in the same day?  Then rain?  Then super hot and muggy?  Ugh....
