Truth be told, this wasn’t my first trip to South Carolina.  I have visited Myrtle Beach once before with my family.  However, I’m told by true Southerners that Myrtle Beach doesn’t count.  I assume this is because it is viewed as nothing more than a tourist attraction.  That being said, I feel very lucky that my trip to Greenville was my third trip of 2011.  Even though times have been tough, I’m so happy that I still have the chance to travel.*  It is truly one of my favorite things to do.  Greenville is an adorable little city nestled in the foot hills of the Blue Ridge mountains.  I got to indulge in a variety of different activities: we hiked, tubed, swam, drove through the mountains, and - of course - ate a ton of great food and enjoyed some libations.  I can’t wait to visit again, even if it is mostly to hear Southern accents.  They amuse me. Greatly.  And everyone has one.  It’s fantastic.

*A very special thanks to Marshall and his family for such an amazing trip.  I’ll never forget it!

….So here are some updates for you…

I dyed my hair dark for the first time in my life.

Marshall turned the big 2-4.

And a large majority of my favorite people were there to celebrate.

We booked a trip for Greenville, South Carolina in June!

I’ve been catching up on Mad Men Season 4.

I’ve started spring cleaning.  But there is much more to come.  Will keep you updated on the process.  Read: It is far overdue, and Simple Abundance has been kicking my butt lately by stressing the importance of an orderly, comfortable, and beautiful home.
