Well, I have been saying it was time, I have tried to convince myself it was time. I think it is time! I have missed blogging, the problem is that once you stop it is so difficult to find your way back. I think I'm in that place finally! Not sure how this will geaux or what direction. With the addition of Pinterest and Facebook Blogging is sort of changing. 

I am ready to embark on this journey if you are ready to geaux with me. 

Just to update you since I left you last, we have moved and settled into Gulf Shores and life as beach bunnies. 

The children The Princess now 13 and The Prince now 5 are thriving and loving life! 

We recently had the opportunity of a lifetime to play with two

White Bengal Tiger Cubs

The Princess attended Sailing Camp

And we had the chance to spend some time with Liz (and her family) from 

The History Channel's

Swamp People

 VBS and Youth Week, our Summer has been BUSY so far.

Well, see y'all tomorrow.

Thanks for dropping by Y'all!
