Myrtle Beach – Bike Week 2009

This May to celebrate my great accomplishment of graduating we decided that instead of doing the traditional trip to Daytona for bike week that we would visit Myrtle Beach and experience their bike week. We left out of here after our church service on Mother’s day and hit the road runnin’ to the sunshine, the beach, some riding on the Harley, and most importantly much needed and deserved alone time for relaxation. The time that Mike and I spend together is always so wonderful and I cherish every moment that we have together. This week we really didn’t do much but sleep late, lay on the beach, Mike enjoyed a game of golf while I laid on the beach and caught up on my fiction reading, and then in the evening we rode the Harley all around town and enjoyed wonderful seafood. If you ever want good seafood visit some of the restaurants down at Murrells Inlet, you will leave stuffed and you won’t be disappointed!

Bikes, bikes and more bikes!

I Did It, Graduated That Is!

My wonderful supportive family!



I want to share with the world that I finally did it.........I graduated from EKU! Woohoo!!! I have been in out of college literally for ten years, but this last time I enrolled I wanted it so bad that I stuck with it and I did it. I will say that this was the hardest thing in my life to complete, because it was so time consuming and hard to do with a family and full-time job, but it was so worth it. I have often wondered why my life turned out the way it did and why college was not a priority to me in my younger days, I now feel that God wanted me to see that I was stronger than I could ever imagine and to teach me that I had to learn to depend and trust in him. I am not for sure what God has in store for me in the years to come in my decision regarding grad school, but I know it will be great and that I can accomplish anything that is laid in front me because of my determination, supportive family and my faith. I am so blessed that I was given the opportunity to go to college and I will never take that for granted.
