Blogging Fail.

Guys. If anyone is still out there, I'm sorry. I am such a failure at blogging! What happened? I was doing so good. And then Summer came, and now Fall is here and I feel busier than ever. Between Primary and Work the last thing I want to do when I get home is be creative and cute. Let's be real I want my yoga pants and the remote. BUT, I am going to attempt to get in the habit of blogging again. Partially because I miss it, and partially because I think it will help me de-stress from my work day. Work by the way is SO stressful. Think twice before you decide to become a surgical scheduler. It is NOT for the feint of heart.

Anyway. I'm going to try and do a highlight real of the last few months for anyone that hasn't given up on my blog. So mom, here ya go!

 We finally took a beach trip at the end of Summer to Assateague Island. Beautiful, but cold and rainy weather. Oh well better luck next year... We still had a good time! 

I became an aunt for the first time in my family, and for the fifteenth time overall. He is perfect and adorable and I think he might be the love of my life. I LOVE HIM!

We went to Disney!

 My job while being extremely stressful occasionally has it's perks. We had an Education Day about a month ago. Let's just say I had an awesome time and I may or may not have gotten to touch a real human spinal cord and assist on some cadaver surgeries. Bomb DOT Com.

John and I took a trip to Philadelphia with our friends the Nokes. It was a beautiful city and we are definitely going to have to go back because it was so amazing! 

I became an Aunt for the 16th time. Winter is right around the corner. It took me 4 hours to make a yarn wreath, and I can't eat enough zucchini now a days. I put it in everything. Yum.

P.s. The shark week thing. I was so into it. And then our cable and internet went out for the rest of Shark week. Fail. Needless to say we kicked Comcast to the curb and are now basking in the hum of Fios. 

Shark Migration

So every year in Florida we have this little Spring tradition. It's called Shark Migration. If you were born and raised in Florida like I was you know that sharks typically mate between late february and early April. You also know that going to the beach during this time isn't the best idea because it is also Shark migration season. Tens of thousands of sharks swim just off the cost heading North for warmer waters. Don't believe me? The below clip is filmed just off shore of my home home town of Palm Beach. Happy Shark Week.

Shark Week!

GUYS! It's Shark Week! YAY one of the reasons I love August. I look forward to watching the carnage every year! Having grown up on the beach I have a healthy respect for the ocean folk, but I just love learning more about sharks!

In honor of my love for Shark Week, I will be posting a Shark video or photo each day this week! Stay tuned for some of the craziest, most amazing stuff!

My mom gave me a heads up on this video. This was filmed late July of this year off the cost of California!! And made International news! Pardon the language. Maybe just watch it on mute if you have kiddies around...

Enjoy and Happy Shark Week!!!!

What I've been working on!

So I know it has been way to long since I've updated. I was on such a roll earlier this year. And now I have just fallen into a very busy summer (which is almost over?!) How is it already August?! Anyway I just wanted to post a quick update of my latest two accomplishments: 

#1: In light of recent events; tornadoes, earthquakes, and power outages, John and I have decided we need to be more prepared for these things. AKa the end of the world. SO we not only made 72 hour kits(I'll do a separate post on that later) but we also decided that it might be wise if we sharpened up on our shooting skills. Now for those of you that know me, you probably know I'm a little scared of guns. Loud noise, explosives, oh and PS it can kill you. YIKES! Not something I want to mess with. But I've recently had my eyes opened and have formed a new opiniong that it is ok and possibly even fun. Whew.. I said it. As long as your are doing it appropriately and in the correct setting. Like a shooting range with supervision! John is an excellent shot and he has been helping me work on my aim. It has even gotten to be kind of fun to go to date night at the shooting range! We are even looking at taking a course on proper gun handling and shooting stances. Who knew?!

#2: The Sock BUN! My co worker Krissy helped me learn how to perfect this technique! I am so excited because it is so easy and beautiful! YAY!!!

Well that was My last few weeks of July. Not super exciting but I'm trying here! I'll post my 72 hour kit soon!


XOXO

Latest Obsession

So recently I was called into our Ward's Primary presidency as Secretary. The other girls were telling me about this great show called Downton Abbey. I recognized the name from my bestie Bri Bri who had told me I'd love it! And guess what? They were all right! I absolutely love this show! I flew through the first two seasons and now I can't stop telling everyone they need to watch it too! So GO WATCH IT!

Bonjour!

While I'm slaving away at work this summer, my Mom and Dad had the amazing opportunity to take a Disney Adventure to Paris. They started out in Versaille and made their way to the city of love and lights PARIS! 

Here are some snapshots of their trip! I hope someday that I get to go! It looks amazing!

 My mom at the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower! Look at that shopping arcade too!

 Postcards from my family and beautiful flowers they saw in the gardens outside the palace at Versaille! 

These were my beautiful souvenirs my mom and dad brought home for me, A silk scarf from Veresaille, Plates from the countryside, and cook books in French on Cheese and Seafood! I can't wait to someday be able to travel around the world!

Just June

Let's talk about Summer. It is going SO fast!! Let's rewind and start with the beginning of June. MY BIRTHDAY! I was totally spoiled rotten! I got a pasta machine from my husband, a beautiful cutting board from my mom and dad, a Michael Kors iPhone wallet from my in-laws, and a beautiful Henri Bendel purse from myself(slash we got our tax returns yay!).  I also was a lucky winner of my friend Gentri Lee's birthday giveaway and won that cute dress from Shabby Apple and I also got that cute Mary Poppins phone case I'm holding from my sister. AWESOMENESS. Being 25 rocks so far. 

 At the end of June we got to go down to Covington Virginia for the Mr.'s family reunion. Talk about an ideal summer trip. Imagine with me rural virginia, old, charming, the sun is just setting and the fireflies start lightning up, the smooth bubble of the river sounds nearby and you relax after a long day of kayaking and fishing. Perfect yes? I agree. We got to go for just a few days but man was it awesome! We went fishing, swimming and kayaking and ate some yummy food and had a blast spending time with family. My In-laws are so amazing and I love my family! 

 These crazy kids kept twisting around in the hammocks like spiders in a web!

 John loved getting to kyak the river!

The whole family at the River House! 

Sorry it's the abbreviated version, Summer is just flying by and I have so much blogging to catch up on!!!
