Two Sisters and Their Misters: A little getaway

The two sisters

The oldest, B, and her husband recently made the move out West from the Carolinas. They are getting accustomed to life in the country and becoming a student once again for the mister. The youngest, A, and her husband made a short move within the Carolinas for the mister to once again, become a student.

When we both found ourselves in similar situations - moving and the misters going back to school - but far apart from one another, we thought a blog would be a great way to still do something together and for family and friends to keep up with us. Follow us as we share our love for cooking, the great outdoors, and home.

A little getaway

Nothing beats a weekend at home with Mom and Dad with no big plans. We packed up and headed to OKI for the weekend for some much needed R&R. While Wes had to spend some time doing law school prep during the day, I got to spend the days with Mom and Dad. We checked out the new house under construction, did some shopping, and a little reading on the beach.

It was one of those trips where the drive home was spent thinking about how wonderful it would be if every weekend was just like that. In fact, while furniture shopping for Mom and Dad's house, the very patient furniture salesman said "I've never seen a family get along so well." We looked at each other and grinned thinking the same thing: Is he serious? If he only knew what the teenage years were like!

Ahh it was just one of those weekends that you will always cherish.

Now today I sit here and stare at this picture below thinking about the next time we go to visit, we will be soaking in this view the whole time at the new house (which is looking pretty awesome).
