Week at the beach

AHHH north carolina is officially one of the coolest places i have been EVER!!! We are so lucky to be able to be staying at a kick bass beach house that is literally right on the beach, I can walk out the sliding glass door and maybe walk 100 feet on our own deck and hit the ocean! Yesterday was so fun, it was Sunday and well apparently this family is super strict and don't go swimming on Sunday. A rule my family never really followed as we spent many Sunday afternoons in the Litchfields pool being crazy! Any ways so we were NOT allowed to go in the water, and that is sooo hard when the water is crashing and looks so alluring and is practically beckoning your name just to walk in a little further, SO here Mckenzine and I are walking slowly thur the surf trying to catch little mole crabs (the cutest crabs that dig in the sand) and I am bending over trying to pick them up. Kenzie picks up her foot and kicks me right in the butt literally sending me flying face first into the waves! I pop up shocked that she has sent me into the water and laugh so hard because I am in a white skirt and my shirt is hanging at my knees being soaked! Of course I had to retaliate and get her in! Which of course is what I think we all know I secretly wanted to do! The night went on with some awesome adventure of supposedly watching turtle emerge from the nest and watching them run into the ocean! well let me tell you nature people have no sense of humor and we got yelled at if we even talked to loud next to the nest because it would distract the turtles! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? haha so Paul, David, myself and Paul's cousin Greg decided that it would be exciting for a midnight swim because it was no longer Sunday haha and its something that needed to be done! Well last night was a new moon so there was no moon and it was pitch dark! which is technically unnerving because as most of you know sharks are nocturnal and do their hunting at night! SCARY but I stayed out there and body surfed until Posioden took his wrath out on me because Paul cursed him, and I apparently had to pay for it by being smashed into the sand and rolled all the way to the shore. Needless to say I no longer wanted to temp his fury so I jumped out and made it home. Today was full of adventures boogie boarding and as you can see my terrible burn on the face where even my eyelids are suffering! Blast my European skin! Only looking forward to and even bigger adventure tomorrow!

The Adventure Begins

What a totally crazy week I have had this week and boy oh boy I couldn't be more glad to be officially on vacation! Here I sit in a hotel room in Raleigh ohh yes i said Raleigh the first stop on a journey to the Henderson family reunion. That is Paul's moms side of the family and we are heading down to some beach in north Carolina to stay in our very own beach house for the whole week! I am so excited......But this week also marked a big turning point in my life. I got a job again! wahhooo its a good thing i swear. I am working for a credit union called qualstar and let me tell you that is something that i never really thought myself as going for haha! This week was full of learning new and crazy things and totally making me feel like sooo stupid because I have no clue what they are talking about half the time and I am always asking questions but that's good i guess. Week one of training is done and I finished all my test to become a teller so I must have some common sense then right? But I got to take this week to enjoy my summer. The training takes place in a city called Redmond and it is soooooooooooooo far away from my house! I literally have to leave and hour in a half early just to get there on time because traffic is horrendous around these parts and I don't do well in traffic! Besides getting stuck on the 405 for 2 in a half hours because a bus caught on fire... yes i mean literally a bus caught on fire and they had to shut down all the lanes except one! It was so crazy and frustrating but oh well the things we do for a paycheck. This job is actually quite the blessing because Paul and I will be able to save even more money and hopefully be able to buy a house sometime soon! Finger crossed haha! Also it does give me something to do..... I must admit though leaving Dexter is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do....I can't imagine when its an actual kid and I go back to work! crazy! Leaving him this morning to get on a plane was awful! We do have a wonderful dog sitter who is hanging out at our house this week to take care of our baby! Which i think is just totally awesome! It was hard to look at that face and leave though especially because he caught a terrible cold the night before and was having trouble breathing! nothing like being scared awake because your dog can't breath! not awesome! but alas he is just fine and on antibiotics! This week is going to be a joyous adventure and I can't wait to officially get it started!
