Personal Trainer

I've got myself a new personal trainer, my sweet hubby! We've been jogging 2.5 miles every weeknight for a month. I wouldn't have kept going if it wasn't for the Mr. He's right by my side when I feel like I'm about to die at the 2 mile mark...ENCOURAGING ME!

(Sorry for the quality of the picture. It was taken on my iphone)

Sipping on my coffee

We're spending the morning watching TV and getting geared up for the weekend!

What a perfect Friday morning! Happy Weekend!

Construction Workers for the Day

This weekend, we drove down to Apopka to meet with the rest of the family to tear down a wall in Grandma's house! We came prepared for a hard days work but we were done knocking the wall by 9:30 AM and cleaned up by 11! What a day : )

(Sorry in advance for the picture overload)

I am proud to say that I helped clean up and even took the sledgehammer to the wall. Anyone who wants remodeling done -call the our crew!

Gators Kick Off

In this family, football season is like a national holiday. All of the men walk around the house like giddy school girls!

Go the joys of college football!

Everyone tried their luck on rubbing the tree face for the Gators!

The Mr. is 27!

We spent the morning with breakfast in bed and Law & Order SVU!

Since the weather was nice, we took a short walk and headed out for a day with the family!

New Things Around Here!

For a while now washer has been "acting up." I finally gave in and had a repairman come out. A friendly chat and $132 later we have to get a new washer!!!!




It's funny how we reacted to this situation. I immediately started shopping online, consulting Consumer Reports and got so excited! Forrest, on the other hand, started punching numbers and tweaking our budget. I guess it's obvious who handles the finances around here : )



Today I am breaking this bad boy in! I know this sounds crazy but I'm looking forward to doing my first load of laundry in my new washer! My favorite housework is LAUNDRY! Yes, that's right...it feels like magic every time I put our sweaty running clothes in and voila out pops fresh clothes that smell incredible!
