Reconnecting

Today and really, this week, has been such a wonderful time of reconnecting.

I finally got back in touch with my sweet grandmother this morning when I woke up. I had been repeatedly calling her over the last couple of months and had been unable to get her on the phone. Today I finally got to talk to her and reestablish conversation about how she is doing and what is happening in her world. She was so very pleased to report that she had been winning Bingo and prizes at the senior center. So cute!! I miss her so bad but it was so great to talk to her and hear her smile...

Honeymoon, belated

My sweet husband took me on a weekend getaway to Fort Myers for our one year anniversary this past weekend. We never had a honeymoon after our wedding so this was our first "vacation" together as a married couple. It really ended up feeling like a honeymoon.

We played putt putt, toured the Edison & Ford museum, played putt putt again, and had some nice dinners out. Michael took me to watch the sunset on the beach and to Cold Stone Creamery on the night of our anniversary! :-D Most importantly, we were able to relax and get away from all of the stress that has attempted to take over our lives lately, i.e. buying a house, Michael's work, finding a job for me, etc. What joy! (I took lots of pics on my phone but I will have to wait until we move to upload them!!)

It's amazing how you don't really have to go that far from home to get away from it all. Just book a hotel room and relax as if you were thousands of miles away from everything!!
