Yeah we're comin home!!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!! And a happy New Year!!!!

Tex has been begging me to put his new head shots up so here they are. He thinks he's got a shot in the next Purina commercial, he's got his playful pic and his serious look, I like the playful one:)

Santa Came Early!

I gotta beach cruiser, Hubs gotta new grill and T-Dog got a new bed! You see he works very hard all day, 7 days a week and needs a comfortable bed to get his beauty sleep;)

The Whitwers with the Whitwers!!!!

Sorry for the delay in details of the recent family visit but my camera hasn't been working and I have NO pictures of when they were here and all the awesome stuff we did! SO I will post some pics that Cheryl has when I receive them. Their visit was too short of course and packed filled of so may fun things it's almost saddening to think about now. Our weather hasn't been completely picturesque the past couple of weeks , but they did get a sunburn and enjoy the loviness of mid 70's in the end of November! We got to all watch a rocket launch together which was extra awesome because it was at night and watch football in a crazy bar like old times sake:) We went to Cheryl's cousin's house for a family get together and had one of the most memorable Thanksgivings ever! The company was lovely and after we were completely bloated with food babies we went for a sunset cruise down the intercoatal waters. It was so much fun and Jeff and I feel very fortunate for meeting all the people we met. Then we got to go experience the wonderous, history rich St. Augustine!!! It was so beautiful and filled with so many amazing historic things to see and do, not to mention a shoppers dream! You barely have to walk very far for all this amazing shops! We went to the fort and Jeff & Len watched a canon ball demo and learned about the history of the fort. We missed the fountain of youth (yes THE fountain of youth) but hopefully we can catch it next time:) I have to say it felt great to host the Whit's finally considering all the hosting they do. And man did we eat a lot of ice cream! Yikes! We couldn't wait for them to get here and then they were gone in a blink of an eye. Thank you for such a lovely time and see you soon! XOXO

Love this catchy new song! Give it a try-betchya it sticks!

Happy Veteran's Day!!!

My mother put my father in the Herald!!! SO COOL!!!!!

I almost peed my pants making these..........

Here is Tex.....

Me...

Jeff.....so hilarious!

And Trev.....

Bro-ham!!!!!

My bro came to visit us this last week in sunny FLorida and the week went by way too fast!!! We took him to a couple of beaches where he got a great tan, he becam a local at the IP by our house and we experienced Disney like never before!!! We got to Disney before the gates even opened and left when they were kicking us out. We went to Epcot, Magik Kingdom and Hollywood Studios all in 1 day!! We got to go on all the rides and probably clocked in 20 miles of walking. Who knew how much Disney could work you out! It was such a great time and we miss you already Trev!!! Everyine keeps asking for you at the IP;) Below is a pic of a Trev playing his part in the Indiana Jones show and Jeff and Trev trying on Jack Sparrow's hat. Also Trev taking "relax" to a whole new level on the beach! Thanks Trev for such an awesome time and can't wait to see you soon!!!

Ooooh scary!

The only way we know that it is actually October is when we go somewhere and see the decorations cuz it's so dang hot and sunny here you think it's just summertime still. SO since we did not bring our decorations with us due to space in the U-Haul (which I keep bitching about to Jeff because I am a freak about decorating for the holidays) he was sweet enough to surprise me with pumpkins and roses;) Ain't he the best:) He was so excited about the seeds I think the "surprise" for me was just an excuse to get me to bake the seeds! My pumpkin is the scared one because of how I am feeling after watching my Bucs today. EEEK!

Ouch...it's ok just pee on it!

I finally got stung by a jelly fish! Wow it freakin hurts! My picture sucks but you can kind of see the long red line where it got me. It starts at the base of my big toe and follows the tendon up to my anke. And don't worry Jeff didn't have to pee on it, turns out there are several more "humane" ways to treat it!

If vampires were real....they would LOVE me!

I made the decision to be a hero today. To be all that I can be. To save a life. To...well you get the overdramatic picture!!! I donated blood today for my first time and man, it wiped me out! They took over 1 whole pound of whole blood from me and scolded me for not drinking enough fluids. Apparently you are NOT to work out the day of, drink alcohol the night before and you ARE to drink half your body weight in ounces of water the day of....all of which I failed to follow today, ooops:{ So in return my arm felt like it was going to fall off, my speech was slightly impaired and they made me pump this weird thing in my hand to make my veins fill up again. But all in all I am proud to have dome it! Here is an awesome shirt they gave me and my awesome bandage!

Good Morning FLorida!!!!!

Happy Friday everyone!!! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!!

The Honeymooners!!!!!

Our friends Tim and Meggan were gracious enough to stop by in Florida and see us!! They were on their honeymoon to Antigua and "limed" with us in the ol' sunshine state for a few days. To "LIME" is to "hang" in Antigua terms that they brought home with them;)We beached it up, surfed, fought love bugs away, drank pink thingy's(drank a lot of weird things actually) and hit up Universal's City walk and listened to Margarita Radio. We miss them so much and Tex keeps looking for Tim's lap to lay his head on. Congrats you two and thanks for an awesome time!!!

Ahhhhhhh, football Sundays are back!!!

Sundays are the best days of the week because it brings the Bucs and the Hawks out to play!!!! So far both teams are undefeated and looking pretty darn good!!! My quarterback, Josh Freeman still has a healing thumb on his throwing hand but I have high hopes for him and wish him the bestest luck today against our biggest rivals....the Panthers. Sorry dad but the Panthers suck. As for the Hawks well we have a new coach who seems to have brought with him some new team spirit from California so we'll keep our fingers crossed. I recently joined in a "pick six" football game and hope all my teams keep winning!!!! Our lineup is...THE PACKERS, THE GIANTS, THE TITANS, THE DOLPHINS, THE HAWKS and of course THE BUCS.
So with that in mind, good luck and GO BUCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where have you been???

Hey y'all!!! So we have been on a hiatus! Might wanna check my spelling on that;) Sorry but we've been super duper busy!!! Jeff and I moved, got new jobs and have had visitors!! I can confidently say that we LOVE our new jobs and LOVE where we moved!!! This pic is off of our balcony!!! So beautiful, I didn't want to put any blinds up but the heat made me! We are directly on the east coast now and have become very fond of the waves here and surfing!!! The hurricanes are a bit worrisome but you gotta take the bad in with the good;)So far none have affected us except bringing in some crazy waves that were 16 feet high!!! Yeah we skipped surfing that day! We can watch dolphins outside our windows and see manatees as close as inches from us!!!! The weather is great too, just starting to cool off a bit so it's usually 90 degrees with a heat index of about 9. It was like 110 degrees with a heat index of 11+!!! So weird how I can feel the difference now. Jeff is working as a mobile marine mechanic and loves it so much, he is learning how to fix just about everything that can float. We miss you all so much and hope everything is going great. I wanna give a shout out to my prego friend, Afton and tell her I am so happy for her and my friend Jen who is tying the knot this coming year, love you guys. BTW....we are coming home for sure 12/23-1/2!!!!!! Can't wait to see everyone!!!!!!

Nicolle and Brandon's visit!!!!

Well to start off we miss you already and can't wait for you guys to move down here;)
They were here for a little over a week and we hit up Daytona during the music festival, went to Disney World, went to several different beaches and accomplished one of Nicolle's bucket list items....burying someone in the sand!!! We went on a ferris wheel ride, toasted champagne in France, Brandon & Jeff shared a man's only moment tearing the flesh off of a turkey leg in England, wine tasted, made a phone call in an old phone booth, fed some crazy florida birds, got some serious tanning and sunburns in (I have never seen a sunburned stomach before), swallowed A LOT of salt water, ate some really good seafood and oyster shooters, pruned our fingers in the pool, laughed so hard my face and stomach still hurt, found a place that lets girls drink for free, had sex with an alligator...those who visit will understand, signed a wall in a bar in Daytona, layed in the sand and got sand in places where it DOES NOT belong, watched some amazing sunsets, went on rides multiple times (I think Brandon might still be spinning from Mission to Mars;), got caught in florida's infamous midday rainstorms, went to a waterpark, danced our asses off in the sand at a tiki bar and watched the opening weekend for the NFL. May not sound like much but I am pooped!!! The best time of our lives and memories that will last forever. Florida is a fabulous place and I am so glad we were able to share it with our friends!!!
