I had a fantastic weekend. It was actually the best weekend I have had since Jeremy left. I have had a horrible time adjusting to living in a new area and I think it is largely because I am having a hard time making new friends. Do not get me wrong, I LOVE it here. I thrive on warmer weather and the thought of no snow for winter. I have resolved to get myself out of the house more because new friends will not come to me, I have to make them. Above all, I wish that my husband were home. We are much happier when he is here.
On Friday, I decided that the kids and I needed haircuts so when school let out for the day, off we went. The length of my hair was almost to my waist and it had been nearly two years since I have had it cut. There was enough for me to donate to Locks For Love. I have to admit that getting a hair cut while it is still in a pony tail is really dramatic. I love my new look, and I just felt like it was time for a change.

After our haircuts, the kids and I went to watch Cars 2, and eat pizza. Nolan and Hannah were thrilled and Nolan talked about the movie for the rest of the weekend. When the movie ended I had a nice surprise from a friend who asked if we wanted to go to the beach on Saturday. She lives in Athens and decided to drive down for the weekend. It was a great day.
Saturday morning, we got going nice and early, so we could participate in an Alzhiemer's walk for Nassau County. The walk was with the Alzhiemer's Association and even though it was only a two mile walk, it was great to get out for some excercise and show support. Alzhiemer's Disease is a horrible illness and it is a struggle, even for the strongest of families. I was thrilled to know that I reached my fundraising goal, and the kids were thrilled to go play at the park when we were done walking.

| This was right before we started walking. The yellow flowers mean that we are there because someone in our family is suffering with Alzhiemer's Disease. |
 |
| We left our flowers with a volunteer and when we came back from our walk, there was a garden. The blue was for someone who has Alzhiemer's Disease, purple meant that someone lost the battle to the disease, yellow was for someone you know living with it and orange was for advocates showing support. |
We walked for Grampy, and we will do everything we can in the hopes that we might someday find a cure.
After our walk, we went to the beach. It was the first time the kids got to play in the water and they had such a great time. The weather was gorgeous, and the kids were exhausted when the day was done.
