Ok…several people have told me that I need to make an entry on the blog… maybe to prove that I really am here with Ash and that she isn't just Photoshopping me into all the pictures…. (the Ozburn's have a reputation for doing that, ie Uncle Freddie!) But anyway I thought that I would write one and I will see if ends up making the editing cut or not!
I am sitting here taking in the beauty the black sand beach and Aegean blue waters of Santorini, Greece and it occurred to me that only 10 days ago I was taking in the beauty of the white sand beach and clear Lake Michigan water on Bethany Beach, with the rest of my family, and getting settled into my normal summer routine. Boy! How quickly things can take a turn in our lives. Who would have thunk?
First, I would like to put a disclaimer to all the silly things that Ashley has said about me! All you mothers out there just remember as your read these blogs how your daughters refer to YOU in front of their friends and you will know where I am coming from! (granted I am a little "goofy" but I'm sure it's not as bad as she portrays in these blogs!) Needless to say I did have a bug fly into my ear and settle there! Actually this is not the first time this has happened in my life—back when I was a kid I had another critter do the same...never came out… so maybe I am forming a colony in there! Could this be the cause of my memory lost? They are sucking it all out of me??!! (I think I just might go with this theory!)
This trip so far has been an adventure for sure but it has not so stressful that we are not able to enjoy each other and take in all of our beautiful surroundings. It has been great and I have loved every place we have been! I feel like Ash has kept you all pretty informed of all our "happenings" and so I won't rehash them. I just want to let Katie know that we are going on day 10 together and we have not killed each other yet so that is a good thing—only 14 more days to go! Ha! Just want to say that I do miss the shores of Bethany Beach and all of my family and especially my wonderful hubby who is special beyond words. But I would not have passed up on this opportunity to spend with my wonderful daughter! She is absolutely the best and a great travel partner to boot!
We just left Santorini and are headed for Paros, another island further north. We have once again boarded our Blue Star Ferry and are on our way!
Thanks for your prayers—keep them coming cause I'm sure we will have more fun adventures ahead…War Torn is yet to come!
Note to self: Ashley can blog much better than me so don't do it again. I am much better at doing annoying things to my daughter(s)
