Charleston Trip I

My little brother, whose not so little anymore, and Dad came to visit us for 2 days last week. They were coming to visit Luke, our other brother, in Charlotte, and be at the live album recording he was drumming for that weekend. They popped in to see us as well. Lee ended up being out of town the whole week because of work meetings, so we went to him.










I was glad to have driving company, and got to show them around our soon to be home city that afternoon. It was hot, and humid, and these two NW-ers definitely weren't used to it. We went to one of our favorite little restaurants right by the beach for dinner, and ended up having to eat outside. The sun was starting to go down, so the heat let up a bit, which we were all very grateful for. Afterwards, we walked to the beach and looked at the beautiful houses surrounding it. We ended the night with some fro-yo. It was pretty darn great. Short and sweet.

I can't wait to be on vacation with the rest of my family! August, you couldn't come sooner.

Cheers,
Bonté

Sometimes I'm just too busy living life, working, traveling and enjoying the 'now' to worry about blogging it all. Although, I was surprised when I got on here and saw that's it's been over a month since I've posted anything. Sorry, readers, if I even have any readers left. If you are still here, we have some major catching up to do.

This year has been a whirlwind, in the best kind of way. So many changes and new opportunities that I never anticipating 2013 bringing. They have been welcomed with open arms though.

The business has really exploded and I find myself working more than I ever have in my entire life. Even with all the exhausting late nights, I have never been more satisfied with my work. I have also never been so stretched. It's coming up on my 2nd anniversary of quitting my job to pursue our business full time. It's amazing to look back and see where our journey has taken us, and what a crazy adventure ride it's been. I feel more blessed than ever. (more on this soon)

We're going on 2+ months since Lee transitioned to his new job. This came completely out of the blue, and was one of those 'too good to be true' opportunities. So of course, we took it. Along with taking the job came agreeing to relocate, which will take place in the next 6mos-1year. The company is based out of Charleston, SC, and we are just a little bit exited to be moving there. Never have we both so quickly fallen in love with and felt so at home in a city as we do there. The hard part is living fully 'here' until the move.

Here's a few photos from our most recent trip. We even started house hunting and neighborhood shopping! Praying for the perfect house at the right time.















I'm also head over heels in love with the palm trees and Spanish moss. I never thought I'd live somewhere with palm trees, but now I can't wait! I'll try frequent this place more often in the near future.
