Calm weekend

This week has felt a little disorganized for William and myself. We think it's just the issue of getting William started back up with school and studying and coming back from the beach last sunday didn't leave us with a lot of preparation time. Anyway, with hurricanw Irene swirling around the coast we thought this would be a good weekend to stay at home in Winston and get some reading and cleaning and general relaxing done!

We had a good week overall, and William is back in full force with school, but Thursday night he took a break for us to have dinner with our friends Meredith and Patricia. We went to Campbell with both of them and Meredith went to Africa with us and lives here in Winston Salem. Patricia is in seminary and she came to visit Meredith before her school starts backs so we all went to Mellow Mushroom for some goooood pizza! Here's a picture of the lovely sisters:

We had fun with you guys and I'm glad we got to see Patricia while she was passing through! We have another full week ahead, complete with some potential decision-making about jobs which I'll post about when the time comes. We're working for the weekend which is labor day weekend and my parents are coming to stay! Hope YOU have a great week!

Annnddd we're back (again....)

We're back! I always know when it's time to get back to blogging because Corey Adams keeps me straight! :) HAHA thanks Corey! I have been working severe overtime because a lot of people have been on vacation/getting married/etc. With that said, William and I finally got a chance to take a trip before he starts back to school TOMORROW! He's so happy to be a 2nd year med student, not the bottom of the bunch anymore!

We left last wednesday for myrtle beach. William's uncle John lives in Georgetown, SC which is about 45 minutes from myrtle. We went to his house wednesday and stayed the night then left thursday for the beach. I didn't get a good pic of William with his uncle but he took us to a river side cafe for lunch before we left and he snapped a picture of us:

We left for the beach and had an excellent time while we were there! We ate dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, and the Pirates Voyage Dinner Show. We spent plenty of time at the beach and pools, went to the Aquarium, Bodies exhibit, and the dinner show, and we also went to family kingdom and rode some rides which scared me to death. I am not a fan of fair/carnival rides, LOL. We also did plenty of shopping at the beach stores and Tanger outlets! Here was our beach view:

Here are some aquarium highlights starting with stingray bay:

William was really intrigued by the eels....so much so that he leaned in too close, forgetting there was glass, and banged his head loudly!! :)

Margaritaville is such a fun place to eat and we alwas have a blast when we go:

We had such a good time on our trip and we're happy to be back home and ready to get back to our routine. Although school is school, William is ready to get back to the grind and come March he will be a third year medical student! We hope everyone has a good week! :)
