Well, due to the circumstances, my blogging was put on hold temporarily while I was enjoying myself at the beach over Spring Break. I am glad to be back on and keeping everyone informed again but I am not excited to be back at school knowing that Spring Break has come and gone. All of the build up and suspense, then it suddenly comes crashing down once the week is over. To fill you in on the week I will begin with last Friday(the 6th). We had all been anticipating the arrival of our first college Spring Break that we could not stand it. We all left once we got out of class around two and reality set in for us. We were actually going to get this vacation underway after all. We got to the beach and had to open up the house. We did this as a team which made it much easier than I had anticipated it being. We got settled in and enjoyed a good nights sleep after our long day. It is ridiculous how anticipation and a car ride can physically drain your body. We spent the first day out in the beach enjoying the wonderful weather that we were blessed enough to have for the majority of our trip. Being the only one who had ever been to the Outer Banks i was not anticipating the warmth that we had on the first few days. We hit an astonishing 80 degrees on our third day. Needless to say we all got our fair share of sun. Being at the beach was relaxing and it felt good to have the worries of work and school pushed to the side for a little while. On Wednesday we all piled in my car and took the trip over to Ocracoke. Since it is a tourist island a lot of the attractions were closed because this is not tourist season. We made due with what we had and enjoyed our meal at Howard's Pub. We also went and ate at Pop's on Friday for dinner. I had been talking up the food there for a few weeks and was a bit nervous as to what everyone was going to think. To my amazement every single person thought that the food they ordered was the best they had ever tasted. Tim and Jay were going bonkers over the burgers they ordered while Kimberly ate her lightly breaded shrimp with excitement. Of course I ordered the famous Spicy Steamed Shrimp and split a pound with Mary-Neil. She loved them which made me very happy because she loves shrimp as much as I do and I promised her they would be the best she had ever eaten. Mary-Neil and I also went to Food Lion and got two bags of shrimp for dinner one night. It is just another one of those great qualities that we share, our love of shrimp. The week in whole was great fun. I felt like I was talking way too much because I was telling everyone about everything I knew of and on the island. I hope I did not get on any ones nerves. I have been going so long that when I get the chance to take new people to my second home I want to fill them in on as much possible. Unfortunately the week had to end but I made and shared memories with my closest group of college friends that will last me a lifetime. The thing that I took away from this past week that I have never taken away before is the quality time I got to spend with my girlfriend Mary-Neil Jackson. I will not trade her for the world and she made this past week my favorite beach trip ever just by being there with me. I know she reads my blog and I just want to tell you thank you for the amazing week you provided me with. I love you!! I am now back at school and it is time to try and get back into the swing of things. I have a busy week ahead of me and two soccer games to cap it off this weekend. I also have a double header the following weekend now because of the cancellations we had due to the rain. I am ready to get back out on the field and play. Hope everyone enjoys having the blog back up and running and I look forward to seeing everyone as soon as possible. God Bless!!!!
