April Travels

Now that audit season is officially over {phew}, I'm trying to take advantage of work-free weekends. The month of April, I will only be in Raleigh for one weekend. But I'm not complaining! I'm kicking off this momentous summer and the milestones to come. Matt graduating this summer. Being out of college for a year. Being married for a year. Starting my Master's program. etc. etc.

I returned to the East coast this weekend -- but this time with my man :) We met up with our small group friends - Katy and Branon Mack - at their friends' beach house on Emerald Isle. It was SO nice. Almost right on the beach, 4 bedrooms, a pool, balconies galore, and a charcoal grill. We were just living the dream.

Matt and I arrived Fri night just in time for a steak and grouper dinner prepared by the Macks. It was restaurant-quality good y'all! And then snuggled up on the couch for some R&R. Saturday was full of fun. We headed to Beaufort for some shopping and walking around. And then laid out on the beach and by the pool for the rest of the day.

Sunday was restful and relaxing. We vegged out by the pool and in the house {and successfully completed 2 puzzles by the end of the day}. It was so sad to come home, but reality awaits. We were so thankful this couple invited us on their mini-vacay! It was much needed. Enjoy some of the pics!
