Matt and I celebrated 9 years of marriage this year and my parents were kind enough to watch the girls so we could take a break from the daily grind that is parenting:) We were so exhausted this spring that all we wanted to do was lay on the beach and rest.

We had an awesome family beach week at Oak Island! We usually go to Bald Head, but after 2.5+ hours in a hot mask in the ferry line (low capacity due to COVID) last year, we decided to take a year off (you have to book big beach houses a year in advance so we weren’t sure what this summer would be like).

Let’s rewind back to 2008, when I was still in college. At some point during my junior or senior year, I started having crazy episodes of burping – like forceful hiccup burps that would scare people away. My…
We’re having a blast on our beach trip to Bald Head! We’ve celebrated the birthdays of Matt and America; eaten lots of seafood, chips, and ice cream, and my favorite, slept nine hours a night. …
