Vacation

Sorry it has been awhile but I have been super busy!!! I have been on vacation since June 27 and I intended to get tons of stuff done at home but it definitely didn't work out that way!! I went and saw The Hangover with my friend Meda lat Sunday and it was hilarious! I have never laughed so hard in my life!!! Definitely a great movie!!! On Monday, the 29th, I picked my nieces up from school and hung out with them so my sister and brother in law could celebrate their 12 year wedding anniversary. The girls had swim practice so I took them to that and they requested that I make my famous homemade mac and cheese for them for dinner. I love every moment I spend with my nieces and when they tell me I am their fave aunt, it makes me realize that I am one lucky girl to have such wonderful and awesome nieces!! I helped my sis do some stuff at her house on Tuesday, went to Anna's to help her sis move out and then I went to my nieces' swim meet! It was very exciting to see them compete and have a huge smile on their face after each heat. I am so proud of them:) On Wednesday, I took them to Marbles Kids Museum in downtown Raleigh and they had a blast! Once again, I love spending time with them and its hard to believe how fast they are growing up! On Thursday, I met my friend Melissa at her house in North Raleigh and we headed to Wake Forest to try out the new Mellow Mushroom, it was yummy! I ate an entire calzone and it was worth every bite!! Then I headed to Padoodles to work for a few hours to help my sis out and it never hurts to have extra $$$!! I headed to the Farmer's Market today with Jill. There were lots of people there so we got what we wanted and headed home. I bought some blackberries which are good but not as good as the ones I pick at my parents' house in NY!! I also decided to buy a personal watermelon. Typically, I am not a huge watermelon fan but I decided to try something new. And the rest of the day, I have done nothing and it has felt great!! I took a nice 2 hour nap and now I am catching up on my blogging. If I continue to feel motivated, I might just do some stuff around the house. Not sure what my plans are for tomorrow but either way, I'll be happy doing what ever:)

So I go back to work Monday but it won't be so bad, I am on vacation again in 5 weeks when my parents come to visit:) That vacation will be full of family and fun. My nieces will be spending about 10 days with my parents in NY as they do every year and my parents are bringing them back in mid August-on their way back to NC they are taking the girls to Kings Dominion and I am going to to drive up and there and meet them. Then we will all head back to NC and hang out on the boat! My dad wants to learn to water ski!!! Can't wait:) Happy 4th everyone!!!!
