Another beautiful day!

Today was gorgeous. Ryan was out on the dock by 9:45 getting a tan. I stayed in bed reading until after 10:00. I just finished THE best book- if you are a reader, you have to read Jodi Picoult's Change of Heart. It was one I couldn't put down. All of Jodi Picoult's books are good, and thanks to my mom, she gives them all to me to read.

I couldn't stay out too long today because of my sunburn from yesterday- it wasn't comfortable to feel the hot sun. I am hoping by tomorrow that I'll be good to go again. Our last day and it is another promising one. We are going to start the day by going out on the boat.

We came in this afternoon and went to Roanoke Rapids to Logan's for my mom's birthday dinner. Brooks got car sick on the way there and threw up multiple times. Fortunately, we found a bag for him in the nick of time so he didn't puke all over my new van! He felt much better after we got there. He ate about 3 of their rolls and when his burger came, he dropped it on the floor. It just wasn't his night! He loves Logan's rolls though, so he was happy to eat a bunch of those. They brought him another burger, but of course, he was too stuffed to eat it. Sadie made friends with the cook behind the glass and kept saying she had to go pee just so she could go by the window and wave to him. I am always reluctant to not believe her when she tells me she has to go pee because the time I don't, she'll go in her pants. But I figured out that tonight she just wanted to flirt! Little stinker! Brent left for Raleigh from the restaurant- he is heading to the beach tomorrow with a friend from Raleigh, so he needed to go back there to catch a ride.

We were home in time to watch Survivor. I missed it last week b/c we were on the road, so I was glad to catch it tonight. Poor Eliza- it cracked me up that she played that fake immunity idol so boldly! Cobe is watching the hockey game (Carolina Hurricanes) with my dad, so he missed our weekly Survivor time together. He is growing up so fast and is SO into sports! His buddy Chase called him here yesterday (too cute!), and I listened to their conversation. It revolved around sports. Cobe had to get off the phone yesterday, so he called him back today. Those two could talk forever! They talked about sports again the whole conversation. He misses his buddy Chaser!!!!! I told him he could have him over on Sunday when we got home b/c they both are going into withdrawals being away from each other.

I talked to Ryan's mom today, and she said they have been making a ton of progress in our new house. She said the roof is on, and they have walls up. She could tell when she walked through last night what was what. I can't wait to see it when we get back.

Well, I'm heading to bed early. You'd think as late as I have been sleeping in that I would be wide awake at night, but for some reason, that isn't the case. Most likely the next time I'll post will be from home. I am hoping to get some good photos tomorrow b/c I brought my camera, but haven't put it to very much use. I'll post the vacay pics when we get home...
