Cool morning air chills my skin as I sit on our porch that overlooks the ocean. I watch the sky change colors from a deep sapphire to baby pastels during the next thirty minutes. Chattering birds get louder as more light floods in. The hotel building across from me glows bright and golden as the […]
To say the past year has been a whirlwind would be an understatement. I have not written a blog post since February, with plenty of good reason. However, each time I sit down to write, I feel overwhelmed with a feeling of obligation to give all of the reasons and cram the whole year into […]
Our final road trip destination will ultimately lead us to Austin Texas. We decided to take the road trip since it is February and a rather slow time for business, so we might as well enjoy the week and see some places we wouldn’t have seen if we just flew in and out of Austin. […]
Google maps estimated our trip from Tybee Island to New Orleans would be precisely 10 hours. When we first planned the trip I assumed we would leave at the crack o dawn, but at the last minute I had a bridal client appointment that I needed to meet with beforehand on Saturday morning. As soon […]
Shimmering sun sprinkled gold glitter over the sea, piercing blue skies and white cotton candy clouds suspended to the east and west as our caravan of three cars crossed the Lazaretto bridge.

After several appointments with cardiologists, electrophysiologist, endocrinologist and echocardiography technicians, the latest verdict from the medical community is inconclusive.

I have been reticent to share something that I’ve been dealing with as I just figured it would go away….but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Even though I have written about some of the ups and downs in my life, I usually write about them after the fact…once I know everything will be […]
Oh, where do I even begin? After a week of cancelled flights and staying several extra nights in San Jose, we journeyed over 30 hours to return home to hurricane damaged Tybee. It was a miracle that our home three doors from the ocean was not damaged, although there were many others on the island […]
We were looking for a place to stay relatively near the airport. Our flight was not until noon so we opted to stay just outside of the city since we had ample time to get to the airport. The pictures online looked lovely of this cute little cabin. Arriving after dark during the rain was […]
