Florida

Lunch, on my last day, at the Boathouse!

Kutcher cleaning Donovan's toes! Yummy toe jam!

Kutcher, Jamie's dog! She's a cutie!

Abbie and Nolan braving the rain! Too cute!

Sam and I met Cheyna, her husband Andrew and their daughter Abbie for dinner. Sam also had them over for dinner another night. I was glad to meet them, after hearing so much about them! They were fun!

I had a wonderful trip to FL! Thank you again, Jamie and Samantha for hosting me! Can't wait to visit again when your men come home from deployment and we can all be together again!

Creepy Critters!

One afternoon, at Jamie's, her neighbor came over to tell us there was a snake in her yard. It turned out to be a poisonous Water Moccasin. He was a biggin'!!! I tried to get up close to take a picture, but was told that they WILL chase you! YIKES! Housing maintenance showed up to tend to the issue. We thought maybe they would capture it and take it away, but they killed it with a shovel instead. It was disturbing and left us a little sad, but I guess it had to be done! They have all kinds of interesting creatures around base housing, including an assortment of lizards, frogs, turtles, racoons, foxes, armadillas and even alligators!

More Florida Pics......

Jamie with Baby Donovan. He's just adorable!!!

Sub-Tropical storm rolling in
Sleepy baby Donovan
Hangin out with my bud, Nolan
My other bud, Samantha
and my other bud, Jamie!

On this day, we went to the beach for lunch and play time. There was a sub-tropical storm headed our way, but all I can say is, thank goodness it wasn't a hurricane!!! We had some fun and then went back to Samantha's to anxiously wait for the storm and hang out. Good times!

More tomorrow......

Florida Trip Tease

I just got back last night from visiting Samantha and Jamie in Florida. I had a great time with my girls and their little one's! I stayed for 6 days....3 with Samantha and 3 with Jamie. I have more photos and will definitely post soon. I just decided to start with one while I was sitting at my computer.

I was taking out the trash and found a little furry friend in the tree, so I went back and got my camera. He was cute.

I've been bad about posting, I know, but I have more posts coming in the next couple of days.

Quick Update

I've been forgetting to take my camera with me lately, so my blog will be boring! Sorry!

Other than work, we've been spending time with our Boston friends, catching up on phone calls and of course, Rowdy's been watching football. I've officially lost control of the big screen until Superbowl!!

Rowdy also traveled to Florida for work and got to spend some time with James, Susan and my one of my best buds, Claudia, the previous week and weekend(no pics, of course)!

We had a relaxing Labor Day weekend, grilling out with friends. The weather was superb, but I'm not looking forward to the cold!!!!

Rowdy leaves again tomorrow for a work trip to Vegas. I was going to go, but planned another trip instead(more about that later). His mom and sister will be visiting him from Tucson though, so I know he's excited to see them.

That's all I have for now, but will make an effort to blog more regularly!

Bye Bye Junk Food!

I went to the DR. for my yearly physical and it turns out I have high cholesterol! It's jumped up 49 points from last year! I've NEVER had this problem and starting going down the list of guilty pleasures, that are in my diet, that must go IMMEDIATELY!!

Here is the " BAD" list:

Hot and Spicy Cheez-Its- Love em', but you have to go!

Hershey's Symphony bars- Rowdy's sister introduced them to me in Jan and I've been hooked ever since!!

Gyros: The Commissary has these delicious Gyro kits, but they are REALLY fatty, so BYE BYE!

Jenos frozen pizza - :( Sigh

Mifune Chinese Restaurant- opened up right across the street and is DELISH! UGH!

That's all I can stand to give up right now. Hopefully that'll do the trick!
