Always making new memories: Definitely can get use to this...

Some time ago I wasn't so sure about moving to Long Island. I was getting use to NC and our home there so there were many times when I thought it would be best to stay there. We owned a home, had friends, our life was there, but we both really really missed all of our friends and family from home.. and home to us was still always NY for Sean and PA for me. We decided that once Sean got out we would def move back home, and for a long time I really wanted to move back to PA. Sean and I could not come to an agreement on where to go, I wanted PA and he wanted NY. Then the more time I visited NY and the more we talked about it I liked the idea more, there are alot of things that Sean would throw out there that make living here nice and better than other options... I wont name them all, one because there are sooo many... and two I'll get to the point...haha

a big one for me that makes living here really nice, is the BEACH! I love the beach, use to go as a kid to Wildwood, NJ. When my dad and mom were still together and the craziness in my family hadn't occurred yet, we would take a family vacation there every year. I remembered how much fun we always had and always missed the family vacation part of it as I got older but still loved going no matter when it was and who I was with I loved it.
Here the beach takes us like 5-10 mins to get there. It's right down the road and the only way it takes a little longer is if there are a ton of people heading down there. Up until now I've always had to drive a few hours from where I lived to get to the beach, spent the entire day there and then had to drive hours back home or had to atleast spend the night to make the trip worth it.

This week we went Monday and Wednesday and plan on going Friday and maybe over the weekend too. We stayed about 2 hours each time and it was great, we could go, hang out, not get too hot or burnt to a crisp and could drive right down the street and we were home. It may sound silly to some that have always lived here or always lived close to the beach, but for this beach lover that has had to drive to a different state just to see soak up the sun on the beach and sit by the ocean, its a big deal lol.

My kids LOVE the beach too! So I am very happy that we are able to take them so often. Chloe loves jumping in the water and having the waves splash up on here and I couldn't believe it but Liam does too!! He absolutely loves the water and once you get him in he usually doesn't want out.
