January flew by, and before we knew it, February was here! Knowing that getting to the beach wouldn’t be quite as simple as walking across the beach, we made sure to take advantage of the easy access to give the dogs a chance play.

By the second week in February, it was time to load up our cars and say goodbye to the rental house.
Our 1st OKI home…a Better Beach Rentals house.
On a rainy, stormy (no joke….there were tornado warnings!) Valentine’s day, the movers showed up and we got to officially move into the new house!
I’ve never been so excited to see furniture…a month without sleeping in my own bed was a long time!
By the time the movers left, this is what my bedroom looked like. Not too bad for a few hours of work!
Echo got a new bed to go in the new house, and it didn’t take long at all for him to feel right at home!
The weekend after move-in day, I ran the Oak Island 5k. The best part about this race? I could WALK to the start and home from the finish!

The second best part of the race? I walked right past Kai-Joe’s, the best taco stand ever, on my way home…so it only made sense to stop and get a breakfast burrito!
Speaking of tacos, Kai-Joe’s being in walking distance from the house means that we are frequent customers. Seriously…if you ever visit Oak Island, you HAVE to visit them! One weekend in February was even warm enough that my mom and I grabbed tacos on the way to the beach. Sitting outside and eating tacos on the beach in February? No complaints!

And of course….no matter the month, the sunsets never disappoint!
