T minus 13 days....
We had a wonderful time at the beach - as always. It really is a great place to relax! We are not big on shopping or dining out, and we literally spend hours (sometimes 8-10) ocean side. This time was no exception - at times it was chilly in the water, but wonderful nonetheless.
I thumbed through at least 10 kitchen, bath and basement design books, and read another Nicholas Sparks novel - True Believer - I have been on a Nicholas Sparks kick for the past few months. We made some more final decisions regarding interior walls and appliance/bathtub/vanity/toilet placement, and worked on our budget breakdown. I also tried my hand at Sudoku. I would not say that I am addicted - don't have time to be, frankly- but it was enjoyable while we were laying on the beach. Well, in a frustrating sort of way, LOL!
My parents came from Georgia to stay with us for the first few days. It was their first time in Destin, and I think they enjoyed it enough to come back next year as well. We also had dinner with a family from our church, whose son plays football on Derek's team. They were camping in their RV on the gulf for the week and we made a point to meet up while we were there. It was nice to get to know them a bit better.
Anyway, now we are home and the race is on! We have some repairs to be done that the home inspector found before we left, not to mention packing the entire house and getting everything into storage in the next 13 days. (And my weekends are already full with clown parties!) Derek had his last football game Monday night, and with that win, they finished their season 4-3. This year is the first year in several that the 7-8 year old tackle team has won even ONE game, much less 4! GO REDSKINS!
