Welcome back!

This summer (2010), Alan and I went to Hilton Head Beach in South Carolina. While there we went on a fishing trip that I refer to as a "really expensive dolphine cruise." We didn't have any luck catching fish, however we saw lots of dolphins and this light house which is on Tybee Island. This island is right off from Savannah.


Savannah is only about an hour from Hilton Head; so one day we drove into Savannah to tour the town and history. The is where the famous bench sat from the Forrest Gump scenes where he was telling his life story to the people waiting for a busride (and eating a box of chocolates). The bench was removed and is in some museum now.


It was SOOO hot!


Paula Dean's famous restaurant "The Lady and Sons." We made reservations first, then toured, and finally it was time for lunch. Glad we made reservations first because it took over 2 hours! It was well worth the wait. We both ordered the buffett and had a taste of all her fine Southern cooking!!!


Hey y'all!



Alan turned the BIG 3-0 this past year. I threw a surprise party for him and we all had such a blast. The next day, I invited family over to the house to grill out. This is Alan's "number one buddy," Lillian.





Brian and Marj brought the birthday boy's cakes! Yummo!




After Alan arrived at his surprise party. I think I was more excited that I had pulled off the secret!





Let's see...I finally finished school! I graduated in December, and recently took my certification exam. I am now a board certified Advanced Practice Nurse, or APN, or NP, or C-FNP, or APRN geez, so confusing; what an alphabet soup! Anyways, now that I have so much more free time, I am attacking where I left off, almost 2 years ago! WOW! In the middle of school, I got a new computer. So, I have pictures on my laptop, desktop, camera cards, and iPhone. My mission is to get them all in one place and organized. So while I'm slowly saving pics to my desktop, I will post some pics.
