Back to Reality

Well, I am officially back from vacation. However, after 10 wonderful days, I have a cold. I also have a large amount of laundry to do as well.

The trip was wonderful. My husband surprised me with 7 days in a cabin in the mountains of Murphy, NC. The last 3 days we spent visiting family in Concord, NC. I will be sharing more about our adventure and posting pictures hopefully later on this week.

Blessings,

Donna

As I am new to blogging, I am still trying to figure out how to add pictures, so please bear with me as this is a fun learning process for me.

My husband and I are leaving on vacation this week. Yesterday, I went shopping with a girlfriend to finish up some last minute things I need for the trip. I purchased a traveling outfit as it is a 9-10 hour drive to the mountains from sunny central Florida. The weather here is still warm in the high 80s; however, I have been checking the weather for Murphy, North Carolina and it seems that the high during the day is in the 60s and at night it gets down to the low 40s.

My purchases yesterday consisted of a few essential pieces. First, warm pajamas. Here in central Florida there doesn't seem to be a need for flannel pajamas. I also bought a pair of ankle boots, which can be worn here during our cool weather. My travel outfit that I purchased consists of yoga pants and a long sleeve t-shirt. 

I cannot wait to post pictures from our vacation and the outfits that I have put together for the trip.

Blessings,

Donna

Living Life Backwards

My husband and I say that we are living our lives backwards. What do I mean by this? Well, I married young, had children young and now having grandchildren at an age I consider young. My husband just started a new career in the last year or so. I have gone back to college and about to complete my AA degree next spring. We are planning on moving shortly after I graduate into an apartment and living by ourselves. All of this while we are what I consider to be "young."

I am looking forward to the changes coming up. I see them all as being positive steps for our future. I hear some couples talk about how they grow apart after the children are grown and leave home. I feel that my husband and I have gotten closer. We are looking forward to our alone time.

Welcome to my Blog

I turned 40 November 2012. The last 4 years of my life have been somewhat of a roller-coaster ride. It has been filled with many highs and many lows. In the last year I have started to discover who I am.

During my 20s and 30s I was wife and mother and home-schooled my 2 daughters. They have since graduated. I am now about to finish my AA degree, and hopefully start a new career in the upcoming year. My husband and I are planning on moving to be close to the mountains.

I used to hate change, but now I embrace it with open arms. I hope through this blog that you enjoy the journey with me.
