Whhhooooa baby!

Hello All,
Sorry its taken me so long to post something new its been a crazy couple of weeks and will stay crazy till after Christmas! Well first off we have moved... we are staying in a home that my company manages its absolutely wonderful!! We are completely on the other side of town it almost feels a little like the country. It a 4 bed 2 bath house with a pool! Some times we have to pinch our selves to make sure that this is true we feel as though we are on vacation. Its nice to feel safe again. We had a few guests our friends Brandon and Mindy were here for a weekend and today I picked up Matt times little brother (although hes no very little) today so him and tim are talking what else... boats. The rest of his family is coming in Sunday. I promise to update with pictures soon we get internet at the house on and off when we can steel if from next door :) love you all

Much needed weekend away!!



Tim and I went to the everglades this weekend it was a much needed weekend away.

I am officially taking a Kayak off my Christmas list!! I did well all day but toward the end the trees were not moving out of my way and it was very narrow. It was all good and well until I ran over an alligator I didn't care for that much I felt it was the same as if I were in the a tube or if i dangled my feet over the edge we promptly headed back for home


by the marina

Don't worry mom we were far away and he's just sleeping :)



Mangroves

Yes thats really how narrow it was now just add corners.... we had to split our paddles in half and use it as a canoe paddle.

We have raccoons are our state parks they have turkey vultures

After found out that there was no where to buy firewood we decided that we needed to go for a walk. While adventuring in the dark we started gathering sticks and palm tree branches and made our selves a fire at night!

Our brand new tent never used from our wedding!! It was perfect it rained the last day and then tent was great!! We can't wait to use it again

It was an amazingly clear night and we thought that the stars just seemed brighter because it had been so long we forgot what they looked like but after much star gazing we both new we had never seen something so amazing it left us both speechless ( haha I know right) it was that good!

We had a rough start to our holiday weekend but still made to best of our camping adventure. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers we appreciate your support and love were just taking it a day at a time.
