More Fun in Charleston

I decided to take the kids to the South Carolina Aquarium today. They had a lot of fun, even if it was freezing outside! We were not prepared for the cold. We only had light jackets with us. Here's a few pics...

Matthew waiting for lunch (see his purple lips - the poor baby!)

After we got home and warmed up a bit, Matthew took a nap and I stitched some! I got the bottom part of the cabin finished. I just need to do the roof now!

Well, not much else going on. I'm dreading going home in two days. I really wish I had the nerve to tell everyone that I'm not coming home, but I just can't do that to my mom and my brother. Plus I don't want to take Bradley out of his school in the middle of the year. That happened to me too many times when I was growing up that I don't want that for him. It's not always easy being the new guy or girl. It won't be long until we're all together again as a family and we have our own place. It's just hard right now. We'll make it - one day at a time. :) Write later.

Happy New Year!

It's been a gorgeous day here in South Carolina. I can't believe I have to leave in three days. I'm not looking forward to it. It has been so much fun just hanging out with my dh and the kids. We've been sleeping in and lounging around late. Pretty soon it will be back to reality. Back to waking up early, getting ds ready for school and being the bus driver! We went downtown for a little bit today. I took a few pictures. I would like to go downtown again and do some more exploring. I just love all the old buildings.

It was a great day. I didn't get any stitching done today, but I did get some done yesterday...

Well, not much else going on here. I'm ready for bed, which is so sad because it's not even 8:30 pm! :) Write later!

The Beauty of South Carolina

I love South Carolina. It's so pretty here. I took a few pictures this morning. It's rainy and foggy making everything look kind of mysterious.

We are having fun, I don't want to leave! I could definitely live here! I would have to change the name of my blog again though. Write later! :)
