Hello everyone!
I apologize for my recent blog silence. As indicated in my previous post, my niece Emma came to visit for about 12 days. While she was here, I made the choice to ignore just about every aspect of my normal life (blog, school, diet, etc) in order to devote my attention to her. We had an absolutely perfect visit together, and I was EXTREMELY sad to see here go back home!
Here is a small selection of highlights from her visit:
1) Swimming...lots of swimming...sometimes we swam alone, and sometimes we swam with friends (As seen below!)
2) Beach Day! There is absolutely nothing relaxing about taking a 5 year old to the beach. When we got home that night, I thought I would fall asleep standing up. Thankfully, Miss Priss slept approximately 11 hours that night.
3) Sea World! I haven't been to Sea World in about a million years, so it was a treat for me and Emma! My BFF Mandy and her niece Avary went with us, and we had a fabulous girls' day!!
In addition to these photo documented events, we had several other fun adventures (including a trip to UF and Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, a pool party, a cupcake decorating party with friends, and plenty of fun time playing at my apartment).
Perhaps some of the most precious time we had was when it was just the two of us...ESPECIALLY when I was able to introduce Emma to one of my favorite love stories of all time. That's right...Emma was introduced to Anne and Gilbert, the childhood sweethearts and eventual husband and wife duo made famous by the beloved Anne of Green Gables book series. Since I was a little girl, I have always cherished the Anne books and movies. It was such a sweet experience to share those stories with another "kindred spirit."
To be honest, I suffered a significant 48 hour funk after Emma went home, but I seem to be recovered now. I hope to return to normal school, work, blog, and kitchen activities immediately. As I get back in the swing of things, you lovely blog followers should hear from me more often.
On this rainy Saturday afternoon, I wish you all the best :-)
