This year the 4th fell on a Tuesday which meant I had to work Monday and Wednesday (boo). Because I of this, for the first time since we’ve been in the house we didn’t have any visitors for the holiday this year. Oak island had their beach day activities and fireworks on Saturday. Southport had their Firefighters competition also. We…
We took off to the mountains for the week to spend time with some friends at Eileen’s Cabansion. Dina and Mike met us up there and eventually, their daughter Danielle and her kids did too. Scott was also able to get in a visit with his parents. We had terrible weather almost the whole week we were there. I think…
For my birthday, we went to dinner at the Mexican restaurant with some friends. It was a pretty low key birthday. When I got to work in the morning I was quite surprised to find my “parking spot” was decorated for me. My sweet friend Chelsea decorated it the night before. Thursday Scott and I took a stroll around town.…
I had a weekend full of fun activities. It all started Friday at work. We held a baby shower for one of our coworkers. We did our best to make the lounge baby shower ready and it was sweet to meet his family. Friday evening, I went to a new place on Oak Island with some friends for trivia night.…
Our friends Amanda and Stacy came to visit us! They delayed their trip by a day due to some rainy weather. Although there was zero sunshine the entire weekend, we had a great visit. They arrived on Sunday afternoon and we headed down to American Fish to enjoy the view and a few drinks. It was cool and cloudy but…

The coloring for the lighthouse is actually in the concrete, therefore it never has to be painted. The route to the top is via ships ladders. It…
This weekend Scott, me, Liz, and Daniel set off for Western North Carolina/Northern Georgia to visit my friend Eileen and to hike to several waterfalls. Our adventure started as soon as we left town. We had Liz’s son Bryson with us until we got to Gastonia where we dropped him off with his grandparents for the weekend. We decided to…
This week for Nurse’s week, we planned several different themed days for our Surgical Services nurses. We wanted to something a little different than the things we do all the time. Monday we had a smoothie bar. We brought in frozen fruit, yogurt, milk, honey, spinach, juice, peanut butter, and blenders for everyone to build their own smoothies. We also…
My niece Tinley turned 4 this week and they had her birthday party on Sunday at a park in Aberdeen. I made a short overnight trip to Rockingham and then to her party before returning home. She had lots of family and a few friends from school there to celebrate her. She spent lots of time on the playground and…
My cousin’s kid Jenna who is in 2nd grade in Illinois, sent me Flat Stanley. We took him all around Southport and took his picture to send back for her class. We only had him for a week before we had to send him back. We could have taken him on a lot more adventures if we had him a…
