This past weekend, David and I went down to Granny's beach house in Myrtle Beach and invited some friends to join us. With the short notice and the busy times of summer, only a few couples stayed but we filled the weekend with laughter, relaxation, playing like kids, cooking and soaking up some rays. Friday night, David and myself, along with Brian Shelburne, Liz, and Lance Lomax grilled out steaks, vegetables, baked potatoes, etc. Everyone stayed up late talking and coming up with ways to save the world. Saturday, Lance fixed an unbelievably good breakfast of eggs, sausage and biscuits and the rest of the day was full of pool time and subsequently pool games, laying out, the beach, reading, etc. My folks, along with Alex, Becky, Karina & Kileigh came by and hung out at the beach with us for a while. It was fun watching Kileigh take in all the sand, water, etc. She is not the biggest fan of the water just yet....but knowing her family, she will have no choice but to learn how to enjoy it. :) Saturday the party expanded to Katie Lomax, Stephanie & Sid Miller and Mary & Brent Wheatley. We had planned on going to Aspen Grill (Curry & Jen's restaurant) but after laying out all day, no one really wanted to go in and "get ready". So the guys went to the store and picked up some burgers and dogs and we grilled out once again. We had the best time hanging out with everyone. Some of the guys (and Liz) stayed up late talking but most of the girls (and Lance) shut it down by midnight. On Sunday, we did more of the same....hung out at the pool, watched tv, talked, read, etc. Around 6pm that night, we had cleaned everything up, packed up and drove down to PF Chang's to eat dinner with Sid & Stephanie. It was a great weekend and we are so blessed to have great friends to spend time with. I wish that everyone could have been there the whole weekend but there will be more opportunities to do that! All the pictures are on my facebook page, but i'll post a few of the good ones.....next weekend, Louie, Janice, David and I head to Atlantic City to see Jimmy Buffett and hang out back stage....David and I don't know how we are getting there yet (i'm a slacker) but we'll be there for sure! I'll blog about that when we get back.....
As for everything else in the Fort household- Jackson & Maddie still run the house and are doing fine. The other 5 dogs are chillin' at the farm and enjoying their time outside of the kennels. I should go visit them soon b/c I haven't seen them in a while.
