SOUTH

Clearwater Beach, FL my first vacation EVER:)

Pass Christian, MS in December after Katrina

         

Cocoa Beach, FL after a week at Disney

Galveston, TX with my Aunt and Uncle

New Orleans, LA on our "honeymoon" trip

As you can see, every few years I have been compelled to go so far south that I am surrounded by sand, palm trees, and water.  I get the "itch".  The travel bug.  The NEED to be somewhere else to take my cares away.  This year is no different than the others.  We are going to Gulf Shores, MS and I couldn't be more ecstatic!

I haven't realized at the time of these vacations but I have honestly been very lucky and blessed to have been able to go on these trips.  I have always had just enough money to make these trips happen.  I have always had just the right people to go with.  It has always just worked out.

Now usually I get all up in arms about how I look because I want to look nice in pictures and obviously, look nice in the dreaded swim suit.  This year I have taken a different approach.

I have decided if size zeros can wear it...so can I. 
BEWARE---my beach photos are going to look VERY different this year :)


I am just excited and needed to get it out there...I AM HEADED TO THE BEACH!!!!
and I realize that my body is good enough to be there.
