Horay!!

Today Tim was accepted to double up!!!!!
What does that mean you ask, well it means he had to have exceptional attendance and grades to even be considered to take on double the school in half the time. That also means we could be home as early as March 8!!!

Happy Halloween

Well you didn't think we could go a whole year with out a some type of costume. Tim was a bag of jelly beans and I was Shawn Johnson.
These are our friends that invited us Erica is Orville Redenbocker and Nena was Richard Simmons

Happy Birthday Tim..... well kinda

Last night after talking with our friend Ben Tim started his hunt for a kayak once again. When we first got down here tim had birthday money but he felt bad splurging it when neither on of us had a job but now hes got the itch!! This was a picture he posted on Craig's list saying that he needed a kayak. He figured that after seeing this picture people would know he really did NEED a kayak

This is what I came home to today. Tim got an amazing deal on a kayak at gander mountain he even had just enough time before work to take it for a spin on the lake. He called me once he was on the road and told me not to be alarmed but it was bigger than he thought or maybe our apartment is getting smaller. I vote both!! I told Tim he has to watch TV in it every night Gotta Love it

365 days. 7 days a week. For 52 weeks

While down town last night for our weekend anniversary celebration we were part of a bet. When I went to the ladies room some guys from the table next to us wanted to know how long we have been dating? They were guessing that it was our first date because we were engaged in tell tales of our day and dreaming big about our future and remembering how much we love and miss our family and friends at home. (They didn’t say that but that’s what we were doing) They said we didn’t seem to care what was going on around us. When Tim told them we have known each other 3 years and that this weekend was our one-year anniversary they said they lost the bet big time.

Now this is our 7th month of living in Florida and it hasn't always been fun... lots of tears and lonely nights but to see my husband excelling in something that he loves is priceless. I would do this a hundred times over. This experience has taught us more than just about boats, we have learned how to become a family. I don't know who ever thought of the notion that as soon as you say " I Do" you become a family... Legally true but trust me it dose not happen over night. When your home is 600 Sq. Ft. you can't hide from anything literally I threw a fishing magazine away and Tim found it Opps! I am not trying to toot my own horn and say that we have a perfect relationship we are far from perfect we're just like the cake it doesn't look the way you thought it would a year later but its still just a sweet. This has been an amazing year, Tim thank you for always being my rock for picking me up when I can't stand and loving me no matter what. I know that with you standing beside me whatever waves hit us our toes won't drag in the sand.
I love you. You Wife

Thanks mom and dad for sending our cake!

ummm well.......

Well this is what our Saturday night looked like... I know its dark but you get the idea


What are they doing you ask well at about 11:30 and they saw an armadillo in the front yard and decided we need to catch it. Yes 3 full grown men running wild around the like a group of 12 year olds. Need, I feel needed is an over rates phrase...well they caught it

These are our friends from Charleston S.C Ian in the middle Ben on the Right. Tim said the that armadillo could smell his fear and kept running over his feet he knew that tim wasn't actually going to pick it up. Good thing thought it pooped and peed all over ian it did not smell good!

Just another day in Florida...

The only things they caught all day


My first alligator in real life

As we pull over tims says "take a picture of me with the alligator "
He jumps out and we(me and Ryan the other boy we went with) wait till he sneak attacks it from behind. He looks like the happiest boy on earth

*This is a disclaimer to all the mothers watching this he couldn't help himself :)
