I love the 4th of July! It is the one weekend a year that my husband and I can always count on to get away from it all and spend a quite weekend together to celebrate our anniversary. We were married July 1st, 1995, so that makes this weekend our 15th anniversary!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???? This year we decided to spend our anniversary out at the beach house! and we have been having a VERY RELAXING time!!! We got out here Thursday evening, and we have spent time treasure hunting, book shopping, watching glass blowers create all sorts of beautiful and interesting art, sitting at the ocean the ocean, walking around the outlet mall, visiting coffee shops, trying new little restaurants, and reading. Did I mention we have been spending time reading??? I have read 2 books from cover to cover since we have gotten out there, and I am close to finishing a third. I am reading the Percy Jackson series, and it is a very good read. It is a young adult series that is about some kids who are half human, half gods – as in the Olympians – you know, Zues, Athena, Aphrodite, etc. It is a fun read, and one that I will have to look for the series in hardback so that I can add it to my collection.

Anyway, Jason and I are sitting in a cyber-cafe right now, and there is new age, mystical music playing, which is not usually my style, but it is very soothing. It is making me want to take a nap – I didn’t sleep well last night. I can always tell when my mind is starting to get concerned about having to get home and go back to work. My job really stresses me out; on one hand, I want to do the absolute best I can do while I am there, on the other hand, I know that my job is not what I was put on earth to accomplish, so I am torn. I think this past weekend has really helped me decide what I want to be “when I grow up”. It is going to take a lot of work, and a lot of penny pinching and money saving, but I think ultimately it will be such a blessing to LOVE what I do!!!

Anyway, I think I am rambling! I know it has been a while since I have last blogged and I want to make sure that I do now get out of the habit of writing – even if it happens to be some ramblings from a tired woman who is on vacation!!! 😉

Jason and I will be heading home tomorrow, so I will be writing again from home!!

Have a FABULOUS and safe 4th of July!!!
