Puppies and Sand Bars!

We decided to go to the sand bars this weekend. The puppies came along. It was a beautiful day. If you can believe it, this was the first time just Ryan and I have been on the boat. No joke! We love bringing our friends and family on the boat, so I guess we just never have the time to go by ourselves. 

We had fun playing with the puppies and looking for shells. Plans were brewed for the next time we come to the sand bar... We need a beach umbrella, chairs, tent, cooler, the list continues. 

Looking forward to many more trips to the bars! Come visit us, we will take you, too!

Puppy play time for Grizzly and Gracie!

Just beautiful...

Itty bitty stone crab! I have no idea how Ryan spotted it!

We are hoping to find a big one like this soon! That is Ryan and pups in the background.

Sunday Funday!!

To finish the day off, there were puppy baths and a relaxed dinner at No Name Pub. A wonderful way to spend a Sunday!

Out with the Old... In with the New!

So... About 2 weeks after we moved, my car decided to die while on my way to work.

Ryan makes fun of me for my description of the whole situation... Here is a vague recollection of the conversation...

Ryan: What happened to the car again? Weren't you watching the temperature gauge?
Kristin: Well, I wasn't really paying attention to the temperature gauge because I was low on gas and was paying attention to that gauge. Then I noticed the car was stuck at 3000 RPMs. Then, when I tried to turn off the road, The power steering seized up. When I stopped the car, the temperature was tapped out and the car was billowing white smelly smoke.
Ryan: Did you hear any sounds?
Kristin: What? No - I was too busy paying attention to my gas gauge.
Ryan: OK - Well, did the smoke smell like anything?
Kristin: (said matter of factly) Like burning oil and rubber, from the front corner.
Ryan: (getting frustrated with my lack of vehicle knowledge) Huh? Nothing in that area of the hood would smell like rubber or oil.
Kristin: Well it did. And the lady cop who was with me smelled the same thing.
Ryan: Ooook. Did you turn the car off, or did it turn it self off?
Kristin: Seriously? I don't remember... I think it was me. I was just trying to get off the road so I didn't get hit by any cars. Isn't that what I am supposed to do?
Ryan: Yes, Baby. Thank you for not getting hit by any cars.

After this day, we carpooled to work for about a week. We weighed the options of fixing the car vs. getting another one. We got tired of waking up early and then driving around Old Town trying to find meeting points. So, to make a long story short (and get in the Halloween spirit)...

I am very much enjoying my 2008 Ford Edge! Her name is Miss Pumpkin. She has all the features Mr. Lanc-r didn't have!

Like:

full lit dash board

The list can continue, but I will stop.

Coming soon - Pictures of my OTHER RIDE! Oh, just wait! 

Playing Catch Up

I finally have a moment to start writing on here again!

It has been a whirlwind of a month. I don't think I will be able to fit everything into one post... So I probably won't. :)

I snapped lot's of photos during our last couple weeks in Orlando... Some of family, friends, the house in boxes, a couple of us while we were extremely exhausted. I think you get the idea...

Awesome shot in Bithlo - the last night. Luke, Bob, Ryan.
