March 2020 Update - The Pandemic

Chris and I kicked off March spending it skiing in Utah with my main squeeze!

We had several days of first tracks, great skiing and fantastic meals.

We even got a day skiing with Chris’s brother, Ben.

We felt so far from our South Florida weather with all of the snow! It was a welcomed treat.

Little did we know when we would land that we would be falling into a pandemic of COVID19.

We had a week to get back into our routine and gather supplies. We have no idea what is ahead with this virus but it does not look like we are going to have a quick turn around in recovery.

It is a scary time.

Not only did we get McDonalds Shamrock shakes for St. Patricks day this year (last year they were sold out), we also decided to make our own!

Not so sure that everyone is taking this pandemic seriously, but social distancing in paradise may not be so bad.

  

My Dad came over for a few days to social distance with us… it is hard to social distance when you already live alone.

Bella’s world is about to change over the course of the next few weeks. She is use to having her days of lounging around. The one thing we can do is take our pets for walks… Her quiet little world is about to change having everyone home.

Kicking off social distancing with a BBQ and a beer!

February Update

We arranged to surprise our Camden Academy Cadet with a furlough weekend in Charleston. It was so great to see him and spend some time at a festival downtown. It was so nice to have the family together to eat great food, play games and spend time together as a family! 

It was an extra bonus to get to see my sister and her family while there.

The trip back to school… We even surprised Garrett with bringing the dog.

The girls were all too happy to be on a campus full of guys!

First soccer trophy her… so fun watching her play.

January 2020 - To Busy for photos

January is a time of fresh starts and new beginnings. I feel my Mom’s presence a lot and I know that she instilled in me the value of family. It is so important to surround yourself with people that make you feel great about yourself. This sign at my happy place (our backyard) says it all!

I love sharing my happy place with all of these beautiful people. We are here to celebrate my dear friend Kathy. We celebrate her birthday and her strength.

My sweet Bella… resting up after a long day of play.

These two… One of Bella’s favorite places is Dunkin Donuts. She is on high alert when she sees the DD bag come through the house … and she is never forgotten.

A lot of soccer
