Hi!  I just thought I would drop in real quick and let anyone who still stops by here know that I am still alove and well!  I know it's been awhile, we've just been so busy around here!  We're just about done finishing our basement - carpet comes tomorrow and we should be moving furniture this weekend!  Plus, my hubby went on a 3 week TDY so I was "single-momming" it for awhile.  That's gotta be the hardest job in the world!  :0)

Here are the long ago promised pictures of our vacation to Florida in January.  Please excuse the mess, they were taken as we were packing and cleaning on the last day...talk about waiting until the last minute!  :0)

Living Room with Fireplace

Sunroom facing the ocean

The house, complete with hot tub - we spent many hours on the back porch!

Dining Room - very tropical

Beautiful kitchen - I even had a dishwasher for a week!  :0)

There were 4 bedrooms, this was ours - it looked out over the ocean, so we woke up to the sound of waves every morning!

Our PRIVATE pool - just for us!

Our backyard for the week - heavenly!

Beautiful scenery in our yard

That's the sliver of moon in the middle above the tree - the photo just doesn't do justice to the way it really looked that night!  Gorgeous!

We had such a wonderful, much needed trip!  In the mornings, there was a pod of dolphins that would "fish" right behind our house and we saw a manatee at the marina where my dad works.  We got to see my family, my in-laws, my great uncle and his wife and many other people we hadn't seen in ages.  It was really an incredible vacation.

Then reality hit and we had to come back home!  :0)  Oh well, all good things must come to an end sometime, I suppose!

I hope this finds you all doing well!  It's about time to wrap up another school year.  I'll have to stop by your blogs to see how everyone has been doing!  And I hope to not be a stranger around here anymore!

XOXOXO
