Back To Reality… do I have to?

I’m back! Did you miss ? Wow! It has been a crazy  three weeks!  I have missed all of you in blog land!

Handsome Hubby came home three weeks ago and it was a wonderful time of reuniting as a family and enjoying one another's company. We hugged and laughed and cried and enjoyed every moment together!

  

After handsome hubby got home we took a little vacation to southern Virginia to a friends family farm where we rode horses, went hiking, jumped in the creek,  ate  amazingly good food and hung out as a family.

 

We had an adventurous trip home when Cameron came down with a fever and the air conditioning went out on the track halfway home, it was hot hot trip. We ended up going to the doctors first thing in the morning when we got home and found out Cameron had an ear infection and strep throat. Charise,  not wanting to be left behind followed in her brother's footsteps and had a fever two days later. We ended up  just staying home the rest of the time and enjoying each other's company.  We had lots of family movie nights and played lots of games together.  The two weeks went by really fast and were over much sooner than we were ready to let Handsome Hubby go back. :(

Handsome Hubby left on Friday morning and on  Saturday morning the kids and I left for North Carolina for a week at the beach. We went with four other families from church and had a fabulous time hanging out, eating  the best food ever, relaxing on the beach, staying up way too late, and laughing way too hard!  It was just what the doctor ordered!  It was perfect timing for the kids and I to get our minds off of daddy leaving.

(I would love to share pictures of all of this, but my camera is acting up and will not let me download the pictures)

After we were done at the beach we loaded everything back into the truck and headed three hours down the road to Fort Bragg to go and visit friends there. Cameron's best friend from Fort Irwin lives there.  I surprised Cameron and took him to visit his friend. It just so happens, that his mom and I are great friends to!  He said it was the best surprise ever! In fact, we had so much fun that I forgot to even get the camera out.

Now I am trying to catch up from being out of the house for three weeks. School starts on Thursday and this mama/teacher is so not ready for it to start.!  I've got lots of projects to show you this week and I did finish the master bedroom before handsome hubby got home, so I'm going to be showing you the bedroom all throughout the week!  Big yay!!!  I am so excited to show you the finished product I think it turned out beautiful and Handsome Hubby absolutely loved it!  He kept saying the entire time he was home that it was just like a hotel room and it was the only room he wanted to hang out in.  What a compliment!

Well, part of coming back to reality is the 15 loads of laundry I now need to do, and then I must start getting myself to bed at a decent hour!  Thanks so much for waiting patiently for a new post while I enjoyed time with my Handsome Hubby!
