The Outer Banks was...

AMAZING! We stayed in the town of Duck which is quaint and has lots of cute shops and a sound side boardwalk. We visited the aquarium (Tristan LOVED it!) and sat on the beach a lot. I read a whole book and took two wonderful bubble baths in the jacuzzi tub. The only bad part was that Jake could not come, but I returned home nice and relaxed and motivated instead of stressed!!

Goodbye world

after a busy weekend at a friends wedding (which turned out awesome!) I am off to the outer banks to relax and hang out with family. Goodbye world. I'll see you in a week.

New town

I haven't blogged in forever! We have been busy getting settled in our new home. I just have to say that I love our new town. Everywhere I go people are so nice and the church we went to on Sunday was the friendliest church I have ever been to. We will certainly be going back to church there! I'm not saying I don't miss our friends and family in Durham, because I do miss everyone there. However, it is nice to be in a more friendly town that feels a lot safer than where we were living and where people will stop and talk to you in the grocery store instead of shuffling you along with the rest of the crowd because they are too busy to help or are afraid you are a mean spirited person. I guess I should say I miss our friends and family but I do not miss Durham AT ALL. I have started my job search again and have high hopes for finding something soon. Our new apartment also has lots of room and Tristan is thriving with all of the space he now has to play. Family vacation is coming up right after our good friends wedding and I am excited for both events! Lots of pictures will follow :) Here is a cute picture to leave you all with today, Just look at those teeth!! He has 4 now. ...ps. Tristan won the cutest baby contest at the mauldin drug store!! :)
