Weekend Snaps

After work Friday, I grabbed dinner and drinks with one of the best. Seriously, you can never go wrong with some mexican food. 

 I haven't spent this much time at the baseball park in years. It was nice to do a little reminiscing. I watched my nephew on Saturday  

 and Sunday headed to Tuscaloosa to cheer for the competition. 

 I don't mind cheering for Auburn when this guy is playing. War Eagle is still a little tough so we just stick to War Connor. 

Hope everyone had a great weekend. This week starts my super SUPER busy two weeks and I am so looking forward to it. Texas and a closing coming up! 

Hello Summer

I worked Memorial Day, but did get to spend that weekend at the lake. It was just beautiful.

And this past weekend, I went to a local brewfest with some good friends.

Summer is definitely my favorite time of year. 

It is going to be a good.

A blog about the beach

The last week in April, Kyle and I went to the beach. It also was my last 7 days off before I started my brand new job. We went to Perdido Key in Florida. The weather was beautiful & the food was delish. 

Of course, I had to get my nails done before we went. 

On our way! 

Beautiful, my favorite place on earth.

Beach time!

Dinner at Mikee's was a must.

Before dinner on the first night.

FloraBama has come a long way since the hurricanes, so if you are ever in town go sit with us! haha. I was totally that girl, but I couldn't resist!

I started my new job this past Monday. So far, so good! 

 It is crazy how productive I am in one day when I work like a normal person. 

Those 7on 7off sure had me spoiled! 

ps --> I can't wait to go back to the beach, I LOVE THAT PLACE. :)

Happy Sunday!

Just as Free...

...Free as we'll ever be. This past weekend we celebrated America's Independence Day. I had a wonderful time with friends and family, and love just being able to relax and remember all of the wonderful things I am so very thankful for. Not to mention, I love fireworks, so Thunder on the Mountain was AWESOME. :) Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Get it together Missy

I don't know if its because its summer time, or my overwhelming love for the sun, but my motivation for this summer is a far cry from what it is supposed to be. I just can't get in the mood to study. And I love my class, my teacher, our lectures, but studying is whole other story and I am just unmotivated. Our first test is less than a week away, and although I am on my study schedule, and following it like I am supposed to, its like pulling teeth to get started. I would so much rather lay out, without a horrible rectangle suntan line on my thighs from the 25 lb book, I would rather sleep late, watch my favorite afternoon shows. Have you ever seen wife swap? Gah, how I love that show. Its so much fun! I don't think I could ever allow those cameras in on my future family and life but some of the people that do are... hilarious. Who knew we had pirates roaming around this earth that started "talk like a pirate day" or the parents who make their children pay for their vacations...and these children are well under 5. I could and do watch that show all the stinkin time. Love it. Where was I, oh yeah, motivation! I have NONE, nada, zilch.... Except for knowing that in less than a year I will be graduated. I will or try to be my own big girl! I have some pretty awesome parents who don't allow me to hit the bottom too hard. Yes, I have worked since I was 16, pay for anything that I WANT, gas, and all the extras...but they have always taken care of me. They are my rocks and I wouldn't have made it this far without them. So in less than a year I get a huge responsibility. I become a person that I have always dreamed about. I know most adults in the real world often say they would love to be back in school. I'm sure I will have that yearning one day but for now I am yearning, cannot wait to be on my own. I know I will not be able to do it all by myself, but to not have to rely on everyone around me sure will be nice. And knowing all of this certainly has brought my dreams and wants back to a realistic level. My mercedes g wagon will have to wait and so will my annual trips to disney world. But to anyone who is reading, I would love love love a trip to disney for graduation!! How much fun would that be? I already have a minnie pin with her as a nurse! So my motivation for the days and weeks ahead of me is waiting on me and is less than a year away!! :) So I guess I will go study some more GI, you know, gastroinstestinal, and I will blog later.

Sunnin' on a Sunday.

Have I mentioned how much I love the SUN? Love the summer? Love laying out? Today a group of us went to lay out, and we had a great time. We had the Garth tunes playing and our bodies just a bakin' in the sun. I am working on my summer glow. And as much as I try not to dwell on the week ahead of me, I know it is going to be a long one. My very first 3rd semester test is next Monday, the 21st. Of course I am nervous. New teacher, new test, new semester, new focus, but same old goals! GRADUATION. With that being said, I took my 25 lb. book to the pool to read all about the lower gastrointestinal system. LAME, I know but I have to study. Sorry for such a boring post but I am pretty drained today. Hope your week starts out wonderfully.

DeSotos was our dinner of choice this night. LOTS of good times and laughs.

we are Home

Its sad to say that I am home from the beach. I can't believe how fast the time went by. I wouldn't have traded one minute of it though. We had a blast. I went with 5 other guys, two of which only stayed half of the week. Growing up with brothers had already prepared me for this excursion. Each night was filled with endless laughs, long stories, and seafood of course. I had the pleasure of reading 3 of the 4 books I took down there. Don't get me wrong, I love the beach, laying out, even throwing the occasional football/frisbee around. The ocean just isn't my thing. However, I did surrender to my fears of stepping on anything that moved and joined the fun. Briefly of course. My post would take forever if I shared everything that happened. Just know we had a great time, and I will get around to uploading the pictures soon!
