Argh Matey!

Gasparilla 2010 was fun.....even in the rain.

The new park next to our place.

Bike cop.

Regular Picassos!

While home in Gulf Breeze for Christmas break 2009, my best friends from highschool Christy, Caitlin, and I took a painting class... (with wine!)

Rockstars!

Slobber Much?

Yes, Berkley and I are members of the Tampa English Bulldog group. SO, today was the first party, and needless to say, there was lots of slobber, drooling, and playing. (They were all tired in less than 10 minutes).

I invited my friends Pat and Stephanie who also have an English Bulldog female named Darla. Upon arrival to the park, I had a spiffy name tag.

It's not hard to spot Berkley among the other bullies. We call him 'White Lightning'.

Nice to meet you brindle face.

Look how happy I am with another puppy ''Izzie''! (Andrew . . . . look at my happy smile.)

See, even Berkley wants another brother!

Barney, Darla, and Berkley. New best friends.

Dance bully dance.

Berkley knows animal lovers when he sees one.

I couldn't resist adding this photo, and apparently Berkley couldn't resist either.

Barney is the 'Bulldog Meetup Group' president sniffing the newest member.

Barney and his sister Bailey.

All in all, it was a fun time. (At least that's what Berkley told me)

and the Golden Globe goes to . . .

Let award season begin! Oh how I love this time of year . . .

One of my favorite dresses of the night. Mad at Emily Blunt however because she stole my hollywood crush John Krasinski.

A dream.

Best color, flowy and bright.

Robert Downey Jr.-one of the best acceptance speeches ever.

(fast forward to the 1:20 mark)

Why can't I be a celebrity for a day and get all dressed up? . . . wahh.

****HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW!****

First of all, happy birthday to my wonderful boyfriend Andrew!!!!!
Second of all, here is a quick journey through our courtship thus far: (prepare to laugh)

Here is the first photo we ever took together. At a cheerleading camp work week on costume night, he was a cop, and yes, I was a 'granny'. This was in May 2005.
September 2006 at a rock concert in Gainesville where we met halfway between FSU and USF. We both have long hair, so lovely.

My birthday dinner 2007 at McGuires Irish Pub in Pensacola, FL.

State Fair in Tampa, FL. Typical.

Comedy Club in Ybor City, FL.

Murder Mystery Dinner night. No, he wasn't Hitler.

Halloween 2009.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE SPECIAL PERSON. I LOVE YOU.

Run David Run!

My brother David ventured into the cold to run the Disney World Marathon 26.2 miles! We traveled to Orlando and met the Heads to see him cross the finish line!

V for Victory! Good job David! 5 hours of running....holy cow.

Tired much?

The whole gang that traveled there to watch him.

Is it made of chocolate?

Two marathon survivors! Who's next? ME?!

Thanks Granny, Pop, and Caity for meeting us there, AND for Aj's birthday lunch!

AJ = 24 years young.

Well, AJ started off his birthday weekend by surprising me on Friday night by driving home from Ocala, instead of Saturday afternoon like I thought. Little did I know of this surprise, and was decked in all of my finest sweat pants and shirts sleeping on the couch. BUT, Saturday I did indeed make him this 'giant cupcake' cake, yes... the "As Seen on Tv" one. My boyfriend loves cake.

We went to dinner at The View at CKs atop the Marriott hotel next to the Tampa airport, and little did we know that it was a revolving restaurant, which, if you've never been in one, they're quite entertaining.

Make a wish.

Happy Birthday weekend boo.
