I would also like to visit my brother, Mathew, wherever he may be when he comes home from deployment. I want to give this man a big juicy hug to show him how much I have missed him and that I love him so much!
I would also like to visit my sister, Sherri, and my mom, who live close to one another, in Georgia. I want to see Sherri's boys and hug them too! They are growing so fast.
The places I dream about visiting are Brazil, to where my dad grew up, and also to Greece and Italy. I have always been a Greek mythology fan, and I really enjoy the Greek festival they have close by every year. I can only imagine what I might find if I actually made it to visit. I love Italian food, as I know it, and also enjoy ancient Roman history.
The thing is, I have anxiety about travelling because I don't like to be away from my medical care. I have a history of seizures, although none within the last year, and am afraid to commit to driving far distances.
I don't speak a foreign language. I learned Spanish in middle school and high school, but that was so long ago. They don't teach how to hold a conversation in school. At least they didn't when I was there. I might be able to barely get by if I went to Mexico. At least I can ask "Donde esta el bano?" I don't even know how to find the right letter for "n" with a til on the keyboard.
I am planning on having a beach photo shoot with Caleb in July. I bought a special dress that I hope looks good on me. It hasn't arrived yet. I just bought it, while it was on sale. I love sales. I am going to pick out a special outfit for Caleb to wear too. I want our photo shoot to look magical. I have already told him what I expect him to wear, and what needs to be done in advance. His room is a disaster area and I can not walk in there. I need to be able to sort through the clothes I bought him for summer time, and pick out what I want him to wear that day.
We have not had our pictures taken by a professional photographer since before I was hospitalized in 2013. Those pictures were done by the Picture People and turned out so good! They were taken in a studio, though, and this time we will be on the beach. I found a photographer who was not charging an arm and a leg to do a mini-shoot. Her photos are beautiful! Her name is Taylor Dillon and she comes to Oak Island during the summers, I guess.
Before our appointment, I've got to figure out the best way to do my makeup. I am out of practice and make mistakes. I know I want to keep it natural looking. I am going to be wearing my hair down and curly. I want to find some earrings to wear too. Something big like statement jewelry as I won't be wearing any other jewelry. I decided I won't be wearing shoes on the beach, so I have no worries about that. I just need Caleb to give me a pedicure a few days beforehand.
I know many people curse this year, but for some reason, this year feels special to me. I turned 37 this year, and I really feel good about it. Caleb is 11 this year. There's something special about those numbers and places in time. Maybe I'm just a whack-a-doo, but that's just how I feel.
