Hello dear family!

Hey yall!
It's the sheets family! First off all we apologize for taking so long Jill I am sorry, you make such an effort thank you so much. We really have no excuse, just busy I guess. We just returned from vacation. We spent a week playing on the beach, looking at lighthouses, and other various pieces of history (black beard the pirate). Before we left for the beach Josh and I got very familiar with the area by going to the Greensboro Public Library. I have to admit that going to the library never sparked interest but now that I am older I guess I've become, yes, a nerd. Josh and I go to the library quite frequently now. we check out movies, books, and cd's. The C.D.'s have been really cool I checked this one C.D. out I can't remember what it's called but it's Hawaiian steel guitar it's really neat.
Here are some pictures of the vacation and such.

Josh and I on the pier right down from the house( a bunch of people would party hard on this pier starting at around sunset we had one good sunset on it.



This is the lovely house we vacationed in it had an elevator which was nice if you had lot's of things you had to carry up and down the stairs. you of course had to wait 5 minuets to get it to come down to you or up to you.

from left to right Jason, Jane(the mom) josh (my skin head husband) and Noah Jason's son (he was the one we sent in front of us to make sure there were no ceatures...were lame and cruel but he's fearless...:)

yeah this is why I was not laying in the water...yep it's a jellyfish...the water around the islands are very tricky it's about 3 or 4 feet deep for miles and out in some places, miles deep I guess that's why they had so many shipwrecks and when I say so many I mean a rediculous amounts.

we had to take a ferry to the next island this was really fun it took about 20 minuets and well worth it.

from left to right josh, Noah, Lizzy, and Jilly the last two are little goblins! SO Cute though.

people feeding the seagulls they are crazy I didn't get pictures of it but josh and I had them eating off our tummy's they'll do anything for a bit to eat. I also threw a bunch of goldfish crackers in the air....if you ever get a chance to do that...it's thee funniest thing ever.

This is The Cape Hatteras lighthouse it's so cool we got such a workout to get to the top it was fantastic. They moved this lighthouse a half a mile where the trees are in a pathway to the ocean is where they moved it..you probably can't see but in the ocean there is a barrier they had to build because the water was getting to close to the lighthouse
josh and I so happy to be up there with about 5 crazy people and a few others I got informed they were Northerner's and Jill I think you may have an Idea of what that means....I am catching on
This is a different lighthouse Josh and I went to alone we got eaten alive by mosquitoes

Josh and I are moving about 5 miles away into these really neat apartments, nothing fancy but it's great for us. The apartment has a dishwasher and washer and dryer connections you don't know how helpful they are until they are gone. What a blessing well we are paying only 575.00 a month that includes cable, water, and trash....granted no pool or workout room but we figure we'd never use it anyway. We move in on the 27th it'll be a great apt.

Sorry we have been slacking in the keeping in contact department and such I am going to start working on it. I am going to start work on a lot of stuff. I have come to feel and know the truth in a very hard way that I am a adult child of an alcoholic and it has effected me in so many different ways. Not just selfisteam but in the way I treat others and how I let them treat me. I just wanted the family know what I am doing and I need there support. Just through phone calls and e-mails and things
