Memorial Day

Since we have been here in NC we have had the chance to visit many of the beaches around here. We go to Wilmington as often as we can because my cousin Bryan lives down there with his cute family. Most of our friends fromGreenville  go to Atlantic Beach because it is the closet to home, about 2.5 hours.

 We decided to make a day trip out to Atlantic beach with the cute Given family. Their daughter Allie is the same age as Bristol and they had too much fun together! It was fun to watch them build sand castles, run in the waves, watch the fish and fly the kite! Burke absolutely loved crawling around in the sand and climbing on the beach chairs. He is starting to get over wanting to eat the sand. However, he forgets he has it on his hands and puts his hand into his mouth.

It was a beautiful and sunny day. We loved being there and enjoying a perfect day!

(Burke and I tried out a new carrier, ergo.. Didn't love it as much as the moby, but he did fall asleep!)

7th Anniversary

As we celebrated our 7th anniversary, it's amazing to think about all that we have been through. We have moved 3 times, lived in 3 states, graduated college, and started college again, and have had 2 children! It has been a wonderful 7 years and excited to see where we will end up. So many changes have occurred over this last year with me graduating with my RN and the birth of our beautiful son. It has been a wonderful year! Love you to the moon and back, my Sammy!

We had an amazing vacation with 4 of Sam's cousins and his brother Scott and all of their spouses. We went on a royal Caribbean cruise to Roatan, Honduras and Cozumel, Mexico. It was delightful!

We met everyone in ft. Lauderdale on Sunday, Mother's Day, and headed straight to the beach! We ventured around with Scott and Michelle that evening to tour Sam's mission. We drove down to Miami and ate at a great restaurant that served food from Sam's mission. 

On Monday afternoon we boarded the cruise ship and went straight to grab some food and head to the pool! We did a lot of game playing, swimming, relaxing, chatting and catching up! It was so great to see everyone, it's been years!

When we got to Roatan, Sam and I decided to go zip lining and spend the rest of the day at the beach snorkeling. It was gorgeous! We had so much fun zip lining and actually got to do the largest zip line tour there, which was awesome! The reef we snorkeled on was amazing and beautiful! 

In cozumel, we spent the day riding around the island on scooters with everyone! It was a blast!! Until, Scott and Michelle had their scooter break down and we had to attempt to chase down the owner to get a new one. About 2 hours later, and thank goodness for Sam speaking spanish, we were able to get another and head to the beach. Sam and I rented a kayak and spent the afternoon kayaking and snorkeling. It was very relaxing! 

An amazing vacation indeed! Can't wait to do it again in 5 years!!
