Vacation!

You never realize how much you need a vacation until you are actually on vacation. I have had such a great time visiting with family and friends. I was sick the first week I was here, but I am feeling much better now thank goodness. My brother and I went skydiving and it was insane. He is ready for his next jump, me on the other hand, I think I'll stick around on the ground for a while. It was very very fun and exhilarating, but to be honest I barely made it out of the plane then I was nauseous when we got closer to the ground. The view of the beach was breathtaking and we couldn't have asked for better weather. It was nice to be able to do that with him.

My dad came into town for a few days as well as one of my best friends from Boston. I have been cooking a lot and well dancing too much! The wedding festivities were so much fun and I was happy that I could be there. The actual wedding ceremony and reception were gorgeous and the bride looked spectacular as she always does. I might still be recovering from the many days and nights filled with debauchery. I leave on Sunday and there's still lots left to do, but I feel almost ready to get back and start work again.

I don't think the bride was happy that you looked as beautiful as she did at the wedding...but jumping out of a plane? You do like to push the envelope.

Glad you are having a great vacation. I am sorry I did not get to NC to see you, but I will down the next time you come home.

I am thinking that you will have to mentally shift gears a bit to get back into volunteer mode but it will be a good thing. Have a safe trip back.

I am thinking your family and friends were A BIT happy to see you too! Good news all around.

Love, Anne

Happy trails for the next year and some.
