SNAKES on a........fireplace?!?

Yes, you read it right! I have experienced something tonight that I never thought could ever happen to me! However, I should have known better because Josh and I have the worst luck EVER!

Okay...let me set the scene. Josh and I were enjoying a nice Sunday afternoon (well..I WAS enjoying a nice Sunday afternoon). Josh was out cutting grass as I sat on the couch watching a little T.V. I heard a little rucus coming from the area around our fireplace which is located against our back patio. My first thought was Josh had moved some furniture or the dogs were wrestling and bumped into the wall. At that time, I didn't think too much about it. THEN, a few minutes later....I heard it again. This time, it caught Lucy's atttention! She started to bark very loudly at the fireplace. So.....I look over at the fireplace, very non-chalaunt and WHAT DO MY WANDERING EYES APPEAR??

A SNAKE!!!! YES..... A SNAKE!

There it was, slithering around in our fireplace like it had found a new wonderful home! I immediately grabbed Goose and we ran to get Josh. So...after a lot of staring and gasping, we started to call our neighbors and family. WHAT to do in a time like this? We were in complete shock! I just knew we had to get this thing out of here ASAP!!

TO BE CONTINUED.......

I HEART the Gulf Coast.....

To kick off my summer break, we headed to the beach for a fun and RELAXING week! We went to one of our favorite beaches, Seagrove Beach! It is such a beautiful and quiet place! I am happy to say we did not experience any oil during our stay. However, after leaving, I am sad to think about the next time we head for the beach. We may not find the beautiful beach the way it was when we were last there. I feel helpless in this time of great need. 

What can I possibly do to help? The Gulf Coast beaches are so beautiful and hold many memories for me. I have been vacationing there since I was a little girl! It was the place where Josh and I got engaged! My heart is saddened at the thought of the beautiful beaches and wildlife being destroyed.

Long Time....No Blog

Where has the time gone?? It has been a very long while since my last posting and now that I am done with this semester of classes, I feel like I can finally catch up on some much needed blogging.

A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated my brother's 34th birthday by playing Putt-Putt and eating at The Fish Market. We had a great time!

Josh and I have also been spending our time helping his Dad at the river. He recently bought a house the river and we have been fixing, painting, and decorating. I can't wait to spend some hot summer days here relaxing!
