V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N!!!!!!

Will and I are heading down south to sunny (hopefully) Gulf Shores, AL this weekend to spend a week on the beach. We didn't get a vacation last summer because we both changed jobs. I'm actually changing jobs again (more on that later) and so we had to hurry and make plans if we were going to have one this year.

We're staying in this beach house in Fort Morgan and Maddie's coming with us. (Ok, I admit it... she's spoiled.) I had a hard time finding a place that would take her. Most of the "pet-friendly" beach homes will only take dogs under 30lbs. A dog under 30lbs??? That's 1/5 of Maddie! We decided to bring her since we would have to either pay for someone to stay with her at home or pay to board her at a kennel. This way we can use that money toward our beach house and all be together. Well, all of us except the cats. They're staying with Will's folks. (Thanks, Cindy!)
My goals for this vacation are to spend as much time as possible with Will, spend as much time as possible on the beach and just RELAX! I just checked the forecast and so far it looks like rain EVERY DAY! :( I hope the weather man is wrong! We really need some sunshine to brighten our moods.

Well, at least we will be away from work.
