Sorry for the absence of posts these last few days, but we rarely had a minute to spare. There was so much to get done before we embarked on our journey home. Speaking of home... WE'RE HERE!!! We arrived at my parent's house, where we're staying for about ten days, yesterday around 4:00 pm to the warmest of welcomes - balloons and a sign and a banner! There truly is no place like home...
Unless that place is Beaufort, SC. As I'm sitting here this morning, I would be lying if I said my heart is not heavy to have left Beaufort. Of all the places the Navy could have sent us, Beaufort was the perfect place for Mark and me. There is so much we loved about Beaufort, and so much we will miss...
*long walks through Habersham *Junior Service League barbecues *grocery shopping at the commissary every Sunday *weeknight dinner at the Pearsons *marsh views *Saturdays on King Street in Charleston *Friday farmers markets *supper club *dinner at Patois *Lowcountry Produce *endless water views *drives to Hunting Island *Fourth of July festivities *night time boat cruises with friends *Parris Island (where they make Marines) *pimento cheese and boiled peanuts *weekends at the Mayport Navy lodge *tomato pie and sweet tea
Above all, we will miss our friends. Four years was not nearly enough time with any of you. I would not trade in even one day we spent knowing you. You shared your lives with us, your holidays, your birthdays, your support and love, your laughter. You are what made Beaufort so special. Here's to many more years with all of you...
