Back from Vacation

So we are finally back from vacation and boy did we have a great time! It was long and much needed but by the end of the two weeks, I was ready to be back at my house! I definitely missed it! So here is a rundown of our little vacation and what we were up to in Florida!

First we went to JCB's parents house in Jacksonville. We had a wedding to go to of one of the groomsmen in our wedding, and if you read my last blog, you know how that went. :-( After that, Janette, my sister in law, had many events planned for us. JCB and I went to the gun range and shot a ton of bullets....let's just say, I was AMAZING...here is the proof!





See the bulleyes?!?!?!?! Those were both with handguns. The first one was a 38 Revolver and the second a 9 mm Automatic. But I must say my favorite to shoot was the shot gun.....Here's a photo for ya!



So other than the gun range we went to the beach, ate a ton, and just hung out with his family since he will be leaving soon! It was all about my hubby and his family time.

After a week in Jax, we went to Panama City for a little quality time with just the two of us. We stayed at a little villa right on the beach and it was wonderful. We didn't do anything special just went to the pool and shopping and spent time with each other. It was truly something we both needed and it will be remembered for the next year while we are apart.

We met up with my family after that weekend and spent time going shopping (again), tanning, playing in the pool, going on the boat and see dolphins, and of course, my mother, sisters and I went to the spa......AMAZING!

Since being back we have been pretty lazy, other than JCB going to work and me going to the gym. Vacation sure does make you eat alot! We have less then two weeks together before he leaves, but tomorrow we will have been married for 6 months and it is such a wonderful thing! I love him so much more than the day I realized I loved him.

Ok, sorry about the mushy stuff.....off to the gym now. Until next time!

No title for today

We've been in Jacksonville for a couple of days now visiting with family and going to a freinds wedding. So far, so good!! My handsome hubby did such a good job at the wedding, then again, how could you mess up being an usher....I'm sure there are many ways, and with this particular wedding, there was!!! But all that is long forgotten. We had a wonderful time but both JCB and I were thinking about our wedding day and we were both a little sad that we won't ever get to do that again. :-( I'm mean seriously, what girl doesn't want to do thier wedding day all over again? Well, my sister for one, and I'm sure there are more. But I loved that whole day and all the fun memories I have from it. I have recently been considering what I'm going to be doing with my life. I mean, everyone knows I want to be a mother and that's about it, but what about after all my children are grown or what about before I even have kids?? Since mom and I have catered and organized a ton of weddings, I have been leaning toward getting a Wedding Planner Certificate. It only takes about 6 months and I can do it all online while JCB is deployed! That will at least keep me busy. Plus, like the wedding we went to this weekend, I'm sure there are tons of other brides out there that have no idea what they are doing and they have to rely on someone else who also has no idea what they are doing. So, in conclusion, should I become a wedding planner or not? That is the question!!!!

In other news, today JCB may be taking me to a gun range to shoot all kinds of guns! It's kinda crazy. You should see the kitchen table right now.....in fact, I'll take a picture and post it on my blog for you(because posting photos on the blog is really fun and now I know how to do it!) After the gun range, it's off to the beach with the sister in law Janette and her beau Ryan for some jet skiing....photos to come later!

Photo Time!!!


All the guns!


JCB and I after the wedding!




And of course our super cute pup.....JONES!!!!!!!!!

That's all for today! Hope you enjoyed the photos!

Kids again

Have you ever wished you could go back in time and be a kid again, or just ask like one for a day? No responsibilities, nothing to worry about.....just have fun? I must say it is nice to be able to do that every now and then! In fact, JCB and I have done this a little more than I'm sure we should. Last weekend the topic of forts came up and me being a girl, I really don't have much experience with them. I asked JCB if he knew how to build a good fort, because some day when we have kids he will have to help them. He said he knew how and I asked him if he would build one for us. Being the amazing husband that he is, he built me the coolest fort ever.....at least ever to me. We blew up the air mattress and watched movies and ate pizza two nights in a row. It was probably one of the funnest things I have done in a long time. Tonight was our second child-like day, including hot dogs, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, Uno, and drum sticks! It was a good thing I had been planning another kid night because JCB had a hard Monday at work. He loved being able to come home and not think about anything military the whole night. I myself had forgotten how much fun sidewalk chalk was. It was a little harder though this time around, since I had Jones sitting right on top of my drawings. Needless to say I had to dust off his newly cleaned butt from his bath today! Ugh! Here are some of the things I wrote on the sidewalk!







That one is my favorite!

Back in the adult world.....JCB and I leave this Friday for his 2 week block leave before deployment. I only have a month and a week left with my hubby before Uncle Sam gets him for a year. But I had some very encouraging words from a friend today that were definitely unintentional, and I know it will all be ok. I just need to rely more on God, because he is the One in control.....not me. I hate hearing that last part most of the time, but in this case, it's ok!

So, in closing, sorry it's been a while for the whole two people that read my blog, I'll get better I promise!

Til next time!
