Life Lately

June is ending like any time! How did that happen you may ask? I have no idea! also it has been TWO WEEKS since I popped by! ughhh crazy!!

Two weeks ago I tried my very first Iced Coffee...have I been living under a rock?!?! it seems like it and how I survived without this deliciousness in my life is beyond me!! I have since discovered the added goodness of whipped cream and extra caramel to accompany this yumminess!

Last Friday night, a group of us went night fishing....it was a rough trip - 3 to 5 ft seas and 25 mph winds.  NOT ideal conditions but at least it started with a fun and fruity drink and ended with some fish

 

BUT the highlight of the past two weeks is my beautiful sweet friend giving birth to her healthy sweet baby boy (baby #2)!! 

Today was World Cup Thursday at work.  All employees were granted permission to watch the game, beginning to end, as long as they weren't ignoring clients.  There were treats, pizza, and good times.  Sometimes I sit back and think about how surreal it is to work for such an amazing company.  A company that actually cares about the employees and their success.  it is so refreshing!

This weekend one of my favorite ladies and her husband, and their kids, are going to be staying at our house!!! I am so excited!! I haven't seen her pretty face since our wedding!! There are lots of fun things coming up in the next week and month =) 

Happy ALMOST Friday and World Cup Thursday!!! Go USA!!! 

Makin' Waves and Catchin' Rays

Last weekend we celebrated a friend's birthday! The original plan was to head to a spring for the day but there were some boat issues that kept us from going.  The decided to ditch the plan but still got up Saturday morning to fix the boat issue.  We ended up in our boat and they took their boat and we headed to the sand bar on the local chain of lakes.

We took a grill and toasted up hot dogs and BTW the absolute most delicious snack to have on the water is Cool Ranch Doritos and ice cold fruit. 

I love being outside and in the sunshine! I foresee a LOT more time on the sandbar and on the boat this summer!

Bait a Hook

The Husband and I have spent a LOT of hours fishing over the past several months. 

 

We have chartered captains in South Florida, The Keys, and even ventured out on our own. 

    

Some days are obviously better than others, but there isn't much that beats being out on the water - especially when the weather is gorgeous.    

We don't ALWAYS catch fish - which makes us pout (some more than others!) but, you know what they say, a bad day fishing is better than a great day at work.  I don't know if I COMPLETELY agree with that saying =) BUT either way, spending time outside, in the sun, with my husband and family is always my favorite.

Red Snapper season is opening in July - definitely earlier than it was last year or even the year before that.  It is only open for a couple of weekends a year and this year, we managed to book a trip for each weekend.  I will also be experiencing my very first night trip.  I'm not sure if I'm excited or anxious about being out there at night.  I'll let you know how it goes!

Full Time All The Time

Here we go!! Today is my first day as a full time PERMANENT employee!!! I have been a temp for this company since September 2013 and was made an offer for a permanent position at the beginning of May.  I am so excited!! I have been crazy busy at work and honestly, The Husband and I have been living it up and have been busy outside of work! We have been to concerts and on trips and basically just non-stop for the past couple months.  July isn’t going to be any different.  This month is already off to a busy start between work and weekend plans.  It just doesn’t look like we are going to slow down any time soon. I’m loving it and so is The Husband.  This is going to be short and sweet! Here’s to an amazing Monday and first day as a Perm Employee!!!
