Puerto Rico

July has been a travel crazy month! I have hardley had any time to update any pictures or the blog. Kari and I joined Mark and a couple of his friends, Evan and Mark down in Puerto Rico for his big 30! We had so much fun, found some cool beaches and great restaurants. My favorite part of the trip was when we took a light airplane from the southern coast of Puerto Rico out to a little Island called Culebra Island. It is pretty much a deserted Island with a few homes but mainly just gorgeous beaches and light blue water. I even got to ride up front with the pilot and talk to him on the headset. Landing on the Island was interesting. You were just cruising along then you go over these big hills and turn and drop at the same time to land on this tiny Little landing strip. Talk about a roller coaster ride! What a great trip! Now we are back to reality. We both got home and had to go straight to work then up to Virginia for my niece's 1 year birthday party. I will add some pictures of that soon. It has been great seeing friends and family this month but definitely ready for a day on the couch!

ahhh its a ard life

so today Kari and I reaped the benefits of our new pool set up. We spent part of the day lounging as you can see me on my new raft watching our outside TV with the remote in hand. Kari checked out the cushions on the new furniture. Tonight we are planning on grilling out and hanging on the furniture some more. If you need me I will be on the patio. haha

Our new Patio

So as the home repairs continue... we have decided to add new Patio furniture to our house. we love it. Kari put it all together last night, then I sat out there while it rained and even fell asleep. So here are some pictures of our new furniture. We are getting ready for Kari's birthday party at the end of the month. He is putting in some new fans and light fixtures today and I am going to be laying on a raft in the pool all day and enjoying the new furniture!

Congrats Ladies!!!!

Congrats to my two friends Courtney Haney and Tara Compton and their new Fiances!!!! I am so excited about your upcoming weddings!!!I am sad I don't have a good picture of the ladies with their men but Courtney is #4 and Tara is #6 from the left to the right. I do get to say they are both marrying some handsome guys. Courtney's wedding looks like it will be on Tybee Island next May and Tara's is looking like Vegas in June. I am so excited!

After she said yes champagne was brought out and even a photographer! I am so happy for them and can't wait to see Liz on her wedding day! She will be a beautiful bride. I am so excited!!!!!

New Kayaks

So we took the plunge and bought two Kayaks yesterday. We have been wanting them so badly and there was a huge sale and my new fascination about clipping coupons paid off. we got to use those as well towards the Kayaks. We took them out to the river today and got to Kayak around the Manatees and dolphins. They swim right up to you and want to play. Next time I am taking shredded cabbage out with me because that is what Manatees like to eat! They let you pet them. It is so much fun. Gotta love sea cows. So here are a few pictures. This is probably where we will be on any of our days off for the next few years!
