Today I got a 164 note streak on Guitar Hero on a song on the Medium level. I've finally figured out how to make my pinky work on the blue key. Sometimes, it even works on the orange key. I no longer flinch at the thought of playing a song on the Hard, or even Expert, levels. "Slow Ride", "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" and "Rock and Roll All Nite" are in my head constantly. My right arm hurts from using the whammy bar so much. I think I might need an intervention.
UPDATE: My new high is a 206 note streak on a Hard Level song...and I won an Expert Level song by 50,000 points. I realize that there are people in the world who can play every song on every version of Guitar Hero on every level with 100% accuracy. I also realize that I don't own this game and have played it less than 20 times. Oh, and that I have a real life.

Fun Times Ahead...
Every year for Memorial Day Weekend, we head to the beautiful Gulf Coast of FL to the amazingly beautiful Grayton Beach and Seaside Beach (about 25 minutes East of Destin). We get to make this fabulous trip with our dear friends from the Hayesville area. We're leaving Thursday night and will wake up in FL on Friday morning! After a crazy couple of weeks, we are MORE than ready for some relaxing and fun times!! Here are some things that I am most certainly looking forward to:
*The most delicious Crab Cakes in all the world are created here are the Red Bar. It really is just a hole in the wall kind of place, but the food is to die for!

*One of the many gorgeous views from the pier! Can't wait for some beach volleyball and some tan lines :)
*And of course, fellowship with some of the most amazing friends in all the world!
Check back soon for some pics from our trip this weekend!!!

The Question
It seems that no matter what stage of life you're in, the world feels the need to rush you to the next stage...whether you're ready or not.
If you're single, everyone wants to know if you're dating anyone.
If you're dating, everyone wants to know when you're getting engaged.
If you're engaged everyone wants to know when you're getting married.
If you're married, everyone wants to know when you're going to have a baby.
...and having been married almost 4 years, we've been asked "The Question" more times than I care to think about. "Soooo, when are you guys gonna have a baby?" Obviously, it seems like that next logical step for us. We want kids, we really do. However, we also want to sleep in .
We do plan, with God's help of course, to start our own family one day...just not today. But alas, "The Question" keeps coming. There's hardly a day goes by when I'm not bombarded with pressure to have a baby. Some family (thankfully, we have great parents who gracefully approach the topic without making us feel pressured) and friends feel as though they have to preface each conversation we have with "The Question". Never mind the fact that it seems like every other couple in the free world is having kids. Heck, even that one GUY is having a baby.
A few weeks ago we were in Raleigh for Eden's 2nd birthday party. That Sunday, before we headed home, we went to breakfast with the Hawkins' at Panera Bread. After breakfast, Bella was running around and dancing around and finally plopped down in my lap to chat. Out of the blue, this FOUR year old looks at me and says "Water Rai, don't you have any babies of your own yet?"
Seriously? Seriously. "The Question" has reached new heights, my friends.
