Aloha!

Just got an email from my brother that he will be off the Navy ship tomorrow or Thursday and will be in Hawaii before I land.....so, the trip is "A GO!" Yeah!!! Now I can really get excited - and also need to finish packing! Look for pics upon my return over 4th of July :)

Weekend.....

We were able to get the Acadia out on the open road this weekend by taking a trip to Wilmington to visit with friends Anna and Chad. The weather didn't cooperate and allow us to go to the beach, but we still had a good time. We rode around Wilmington and Wrightsville in Anna's Acadia (we were twins!) and restaurant/bar hopped since there wasn't much else to do. We enjoyed some cold ones at one of their favorite places in Wrightsville on the water, so at least we got to "boat/people watch" which was fun! And Saturday night we headed to downtown Wilmington for some more cold ones, people watching and just hanging out and catching up. We are looking forward to hanging out with them again and the rest of the Wilkesboro gang in just a few months for their wedding!! On the way home today, I drove so I could enjoy my new car, and Brandon hunkered down in the back seat and watched a movie - we were a sight to behold, I am sure!! :)

Now just getting caught up on laundry so I can start to pack for Hawaii (final word should come on Tues from my bro hopefully on if the trip is A GO or NOT - hoping for 'A GO!'), and enjoying the much needed rain!!

Goodbye CR-V :( ......Hello Acadia!! :)

We just got back from taking the CR-V to the new owners and transferring the title, etc. It was kind of sad to say goodbye, but the sixteen year old girl who is getting it is so excited! Since they didn't have the license plate yet, I just parked it in their driveway and she was looking forward to just sitting in it and letting the feeling of having her first car sink in. When we left, she was sitting in it, and after Brandon and I drove around their neighborhood some (nice houses!), we drove back by on our way out and her mom and her were still sitting in it :) It was cute. I am so glad that my reliable car is going to someone who will really enjoy it! I hope she will be able to drive it for another 10 years and make some memories of her own. I told her the first job she had was to personalize it :) But, I don't think anything will top the Lime Green floor mats I had in it :) Anyway, even though it was sad to say goodbye.......

.......I came home to this!!!!

How do I look in it?

Now off to pack and get ready for a weekend at the beach with friends! We will really get to break it in ;)
