Missing the beach today

Today marks my first day back from vacation and the harsh reality that has hit me in the face as soon as I got home yesterday - bills, past due notices and the fact that I had to go back to work this morning.

But I am trying to hold onto all the amazing memories I made in the past six days. And all the love I feel from my extended family...I can't remember the last vacation where I got happily bombarded with hugs!!

I guess what is also great about vacation is that it gives me a chance to relax and clear my mind and return back to my life with a clean slate. Any problems or issues I had before...time to let them go! Now I have the rest of the summer to make some more incredible memories with J. :-)

So many incredible things....so many lines I can write before you die of boredom

My oh my Bloggie Blog...it's been FOREVER and a DAY since I have written in you. I feel like you're that abandoned child that I keep feeding ice cream and cookies and plant you in front of reruns of the Wiggles until I can get a moment to breathe and actually ENJOY you.

But I think that what I have been missing is the fact that I keep waiting for the moment instead of just seizing it. There was a time before this where there was never a day that I didn't NOT talk to you and I want to get back to those days.

I think it's high time that I give up all those stupid and silly excuses that I kept giving myself for not picking you up again...

I could sit here and drown you in all the disgusting, so-sweet-you-could-puke details of all the great things that have happened in my life... but really I'll just sum it up to this:

DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE.

-insert eye roll here- I know. As cliche as that sounds, I feel like I am a living testimony.

I wake up every single morning to a beautiful man, an awesome beginning to an incredible life... and what I hope will continue to be my "happily ever after". :)

Will write more later...
