The Hunt Is Over --- Finally!

We finally found a great new place to live. We move in 2 weeks! Anyone close to us knows we've been in the dumps lately because of false promises and our struggle to find a new place to live this summer in South Tampa. I'm excited and eager to move in and start decorating. It's a giant factory that used to be used for making and rolling cigars that has been remolded into a bunch of lofts a few years back. They have original hardwood ceiling beams, conrete stained floors, and conrete block walls. Very industrial, and we are VERY excited. Here's a preview 'before' picture! A house warming party is already in the works . . .

AJ = CPA

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My boyfriend is now an official CPA! WOOOO! I CERTAINLY know first hand what he went through, living through e v e r y minute of his determined study habits for the last 6 months, but it is more than well deserved. He studied hard and passed on the first try. This picture is about 30 seconds after we found out! Late night celebratory 'vodka shot'......(gross). You're awesome babe, congrats!! : )

The King of Pop

Okay, maybe I didn't KNOW him....but holy cow. Michael Jackson died today. Being a dancer my whole life I didn't know how to feel about his death, since I can only remember dancing to his songs while I grew up. Although he was a 'very weird individual', his was an incredible artist! I will miss the opportunity to have seen him perform ONE DAY in my lifetime. I am deeply saddened.

My favorite Michael Jackson song was Dirty Diana:

PUT ON THE SPF!

A nice boat and fun filled weekend in DeBary, FL visiting AJ's relatives. This is the whole gang on 'disappearing island'....and it's name is more than true. (sunburnt thighs sunburnt thighs!!!!!!)

IDLE SPEED - No Wake!

For an early Father's Day surprise, my mom decided to buy Dallas a new boat... so all three of us (AJ, David, and I) and the pooch hopped in the car and drove north to Gulf Breeze for the weekend!

SURPRISE! A new boat!
Funness on a trailer.
We found a beach ball on the open sea!

Stopped at a little island on our adventure!

Chipper was a regular boat dog!

Berkley had SUCH an eventful first boat ride.

Enjoying the wonderful weather.

Getting ready to attack.

Annnnnnnd hop! Needless to say I WON and got him off the tube. Woo!

Getting a little golf in before we hit the road back to Tampa.

David's In Town!

David came into town to visit and hang with Andrew and I....needless to say, I was drug onto the golf course and was the official photographer of these two golf lovers. FORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Berkley just loved his uncle David!

NO JOKE - I TOOK IN A PICTURE TO GET MY HAIR COLORED AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. I WORE A WOOL HAT THAT COVERED MY e n t i r e HEAD FOR THREE DAYS, ALONG WITH TEARS.

I was finally able to go back in and get it fixed, with the same picture I took and THIS is how it was supposed to be. GEEEEEZ; hair. Can't live with it, can't live without it.
