Work and Friends

My life this week and has been a whole lot of work (it's our quarter end). So, dealing with the split of our company and quarter end all at once has been interesting. Plus, since I'm not over GL again, it's my first time having to "try" to run things. I put "" around try because I've certainly screwed up a lot this week. Had to work all day today as well. 8-6. The one highpoint to that was einstein's bagels and Al's pizza. Good stuff.

Also, my friend Keira (we met at UF, she did her undergrad at Notre Dame and I at BYU. So, neither of us knew anyone at Florida and were paired on a team project. Been friends ever since). She had her hubby live in Denver. But, she was in town for another UF friends wedding this weekend. And, we happily had her crash at our house Thursday night. It was really nice to get to talk to her and just chat.

For those of you that know me, I really really suck at keeping in contact with people. So, I always enjoy a chance to redeem myself. Even if just to offer my house for one night and a dinner.

I made sure we got at least one pic together to prove she was here. I'll have to upload later. haven't put them on the computer yet.

that's been about it. maybe something exciting will happen next week.

Beach Baby

On July 5th, Danny and I decided to make our first attempt at going to the beach. Neither of us had been in almost 2 years. Yep, we live 10 min. from the beach and never go.

We have learned that going to the beach with a little one takes a whole lot of "stuff" to survive. Food, bottles, beach toys, chairs, umbrella, towels, sheet, and more. But, we had a lot of fun. Stayed for about an hour and a half. It was high tide so we were stuck sitting in the soft sand and that stuff sticks to everything.

Luckily, Danny's parents live at the beach and we were able to stop by there on the way home and go for a dip in the pool to partially get rinsed off.

Ashlyn loves to water and really enjoyed sitting in the tidal pools. They were just her speed and size.

say CHEEEEEZE!!!!
Hey, Pay Attention To Me!!!

July 4th

So, I'm a week late getting this up, but better later than never. We had a good July 4th. Had a cookout at my parents. Then, met up with the Kirks- Carson, Amber,and Grayson and went to beach to watch the fireworks. Grayson stayed up the whole time. But, Ashlyn fell asleep right before they began. O well. We will try again next year.

Ashlyn and my nephew Tyler. He's interning with KPMG right now in Jax.

A sleepy little Ashlyn and we weren't even to the beach yet.

I usually wouldn't put other kids pics up but I love this one of Grayson. What a look!!
The happy family.
