Charleston

A few weeks ago I visited my sister-in-law in South Carolina. I can easily see why people rave about this place. The mature vine-wrapped, moss-covered trees line the roads and shade horse pulled buggy's that rattle and creek down the old brick streets. The clops of the horses feet bounce down dozens of narrow ally ways all at once. They disappear into delicate wrought iron gates, that guard spindling vines, blooming flower boxes, and secret doorways. The charm. Good lord, the houses! 

Here are just a few pictures of beautiful Charleston, SC. 

I would be so happy, just to walk through that gate everyday.




Amazing details on all of the houses!




Isn't this the cutest, tiniest house ever?

Yes, I would love to come in...Please?


Now that is a porch!

How couldn't you be swept up in this historic place? More on my trip later!

Blurry Vision

This week has been a blur. But a good blur. Scout and I are both sitting here exhausted. 

I've been puppy sitting, cleaning, packing, shopping, cooking, making to do lists, finishing up the school year with a bang, all while having an awesome visit from Krysti (and her pup Whitacre). Its a good thing Krysti is just a puppy obsessed as I am. Things got a little furry around here if you know what I mean. Saying my house is a tad furry, would be an understatement. Tomorrow my sweeper is calling pleading my name. 

Things to do:

Meet with the kid I hired to mow my lawn while I'm gone
Look at getting my mail forwarded/held
Clean my entire house: baths/beds/clothes/kitchen/dust/sweep
Clean out the fridge
Get Evan's phone shut off
Get my hair cut
Mail Evan's package (that I still haven't sent after a week...)
Pack for Pennsylvania & South Carolina
Pack Scout's bag
Refill and replant the hole to China that Scout dug in my backyard
Order my glasses
Hopefully pick up our pictures I ordered
Sushi date with Lisa
Put gas in the car

My list of things I have to do before I leave for Pennsylvania on Thursday is kinda overwhelming, but I'm sure I'll get the important things done. For now I'm pushing away the million things I have to do by focusing on Friday. Friday my bum will be covered in my cute new suite, getting a free skin scrub from the sand, while the sun kisses my pale skin to tan perfection. Oh dear Lord I can't wait!
