I first went to HP to see Mom and Dad, sleep in my own bed, see some friends and do some little errands. It was sooo nice because I had not been home since November . . . I did not realize how much I was home sick until I got there. It was nice just being in my comfort zone for a little bit! And of course I had to get some good southern food while I was home . . . nothing better than a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit with a Cheerwine!!
During this time at home, I also went to Charlotte for the day to play in the Camp Lurecrest golf fundraiser with my dad and my golf buddies from church, Don and Bob! We did alright as a team (3rd place) but I was really rusty since I had not played in 5 months! The best part was that I got to see Poppy and a lot of friends from camp that I had not seen in a really long time.
Also while at home, I went to the dentist for the first time in a year and a half, and I sure did pay for it!! Everyone was telling me I have such beautiful teeth and keep them really clean, but I still had 5 cavities . . . yes thats right 5!! I have always had soft teeth but living in a place where there is no fluoride in the water I guess makes it worse. So I had to go back to get those fix which I will talk about a little later.
After the dentist I got to hang out with 3 of the most amazing girls I know! I fixed the pizza dough and then went over to Liz's house to have a little girls night with Carolyn, Dana, and Liz. The night would have been perfect if only Schrum (or I should say Cronin) who had left for CO the week before had been there, but it was still very fun. It is so nice to know that you have such great friends that you can go long periods of time without seeing each other or even talking with and everything is normal and fun when we do finally get together. I had not seen Liz in over 2 years because she lives and works as a teacher in Thailand . . . we seemed to always miss each other when we were home.
After a little time in HP, the family went to Wilmington for Easter! It was such a beautiful weekend and nice to be around family. I played golf one day with my Dad and uncle and probably played better than I ever had . . . it is sooo much fun when it justs clicks! The best thing about those couple of days was going to church with my whole family. It has been such a long time since I have been in that type of environment! My soul definitely appreciated that!
The pups wanted to go with us!!
After Easter I headed back home to go back to the dentist. My plan was to go straight to Raleigh to see Jake after Wilmington but things change!! Because I came back home I got to have lunch with Grandma which I was sooooo thankful for. She is such a beautiful person inside and out. She is so encouraging and recently has been telling Becca and I a lot of interesting family stories. So maybe God gave me those cavities so that I would come back home to see her!! Anyways after seeing grandma I went to the dentist and told them to fill all my cavities at the same time since I did not have much time and really wanted to get to know Jake . . . the reason for the trip back home!! They said I was going to be a little numb but that was an understatement!! I could not feel my mouth or tongue . . . nothing. Of course they like to ask you questions afterwards too which I could not answer because my mouth did not work! Right after the dentist I left for Raleigh numb mouth and all. I had to call Mom who was already in Raleigh which in the end made me cry from laughing so hard because I could not talk and they were making fun of me . . . thankfully after the hour ride to Dan and Lizzie's house my mouth de-numbed!
The last couple days of the trip I hung out with Lizzie and Jake!! Dan had a buisness trip so it worked out that I could help out as much as I could even though it was not much. I love him so much already and he is not even my child!! I am sooo excited for Dan and Lizzie and can't wait to see him again in November which I know he is going to be sooo much different/big than these pictures below!
Sorry for such a long post, but I realized I have not written in such a long time . . . sorry about that!!
