A confession: My name is Michelle and I have "I can't relax - itis!" I know that those of you who know me, can't believe such a thing. This morning I was up at 6 am waiting for the sun to rise. It was beautiful sitting on the balcony overlooking the Atlantic ocean, watching diving birds, and feeling the cool air. Maybe one day, I can figure out how to have more moments like that. Each day seems to be filled with responsibilities, so much so, that I have forgotten how to slow down....I worry about that alot! My mom reminds me that one day all of this "responsibility" is going to catch up with me. The last 9 months I honestly felt that the best of my life was over...very sad to admit...still struggling with those thoughts to be honest. Gotta work on that, but it's harder than you can imagine. Since I'm speaking honestly... you never know your capacity for carrying a burden ... it's greater than you can imagine. The Lord expands your capacity, but never leaves you alone. I hesitate to pray for a break...I just pray to keep my gospel perspective and to be the best person I can be in all of my roles in life. Enough of that mental rambling.
Today we went to Naticus in Norfolk. I had an absolutely wonderful time - we were only there for 2 1/2 hours due to Melissa's limited endurance. However, it was great fun. I loved the battle ship USS Wisconsin. Well worth the time to visit. I can't wait to bring more of my family to see the sights of downtown Norfolk. Enjoy the photos!! I think the tugboat was my favorite....never saw one before today.

You are amazing my honey! SO glad you are enjoying the beach...even if you are too busy. Relaxing is a good thing for you even though you are NOT used to it. The pictures are fantastic. I cannot wait to see the others that you have taken. Love you.
I'm right there with you on the relaxing thing sistah ... Maybe one day we'll learn this together!
You remind me of mom.
Oh oops...she already wrote that. :)
