And We're Baaack!

So, I figured that the reason why I haven't posted in the last 3 months (yikes!) is that I've been having SO much fun! (Plus, I haven't gotten in the habit of posting...)

After graduation Morgan and I packed up our belongings shipped it across the US to North Carolina. We went to Georgia for about 6 weeks. He and I drove to Georgia nonstop (since our hotel money went towards an unexpected first speeding ticket for Morgan in Nebraska). Nonetheless, we enjoyed the roadtrip! While we were there we had a great time spending time with the family. We went up to my Grandparent's house in Ellijay. While there Morgan, Lollie, and I hiked all the way to the top of Amacalola Falls (It's the beginning of the Appalachian Trail) Morgan and I also went to a Braves Game. We also had a lot of fun by going to Grandma and Grandpa's pool and also going to Rachel's pool to play with Mikayla. Mom and I drove upto Greenville so I could scope out the place where we'll be living. We found a townhouse and placed a lease on it! I was relieved to know that I have a home when we move there! When we got back, we got ready to go on VACATION! But out highlight of our time in Utah was, simply having a blast with our time with my family!!

After our time in Georgia had passed, my whole family toke our biannual trip to Seaside Beach in South Carolina. We stay in the same house and everything. It was nice to have Morgan as a husband this time around. Seaside Beach is pretty special to us, since that is where Morgan surprised me by being there without my knowledge to propose to me! We spent our days being beach bums getting sunburned (see photo of Lobster Morgan) and our evenings having boys vs. girls games nights. Mikayla was so much fun at the beach! She loved the water, making sand castles, and looking for sea shells. We had a family portrait made by the pier via Dan's contraptions. There was actually no one behind the camera! He had a remote. We thought that was pretty cool. We really had a great time and can't wait until our next vacation there!

After the Beach, Morgan and I drove the 20 hours (nonstop once more) to Orono, Maine! For the first time, I saw a bit of New York City. I see why it's called the city that never sleeps. When we were drving through Lower Manhattan at midnight, there was a traffic jam!! I was also surprised once we got into the state of Maine at about 3:45 while I was driving the sun started to come up! By 4:15 the sun was up!! (this made it much easier to stay alert!!) I was fabergasted. While here, we have had a great time spending time with Morgan's parents. It's been nice for me to get to know and love them much more. We kayaked one day to our "Private Island" and spent the day relaxing and reading books. We saw a Bald Eagle that day! We have also gone Strawberry picking (for the first time for me). They were the sweetest strawberries! We picked 40 quarts! (we probably ate a quart or two while picking them) It doesn't get any fresher than that! Morgan has enjoyed working with his dad and going to the gym and golfing together. I've been working through a temp agency and have mainly been working in downtown Bangor. I've really enjoyed poking aroung during my lunch hour. There are a lot of neat little shops and bakeries.

Well, know our summer is nearing over. We are moving to North Carolina next week. We are getting pretty excited. We thankfully have a place to live in a nice area and Morgan has school and a job lined up. (I'm still working on the job thing). We'll keep you posted!
