well hello there friends! it's been quite some time since i've been able to regularly post here, and for that i apologize. march was just a crazy month with too many activities and too much traveling. not to say that i didn't enjoy it all, but there is something to be said for being home with no plans at all!

i've got so very much to update on, that i'll just have to break it down into a few separate posts. let's start with my trip to NY two weeks ago. i flew up for my cousins wedding and stayed up there for 6 days. my brother and sister still live in NY and i miss them and their little families tons! anytime i get a chance to visit them and their kiddos i jump at the opportunity! and with the exception of a 24 hour stomach bug whilst there (which was down right evil!), the whole trip was so so very lovely. my phone is chock full of photos from my little trip, and here are a few of my faves...

an early morning flight...

i love you sky mall!

my poor niece was sick when we arrived...

uhhg, just looking back at these pictures makes me a bit homesick. not for NY really, or any physical place, but for my family and friends that still live there. NC is my home now, and i love it to death, but if i could transport all of those people i love down here with me, what a happy lady i would be!
