SO to the few followers I have, I'm sorry I haven't posted in what like two months?? It's been a while, we have had a busy summer. I have so much I want to blog about but I feel like I am going to just blog about our lives in the past month at random through pictures. So I hope everyone has had a GREAT summer and here is us in a nutshell in the past couple months....
So after a lot of discussion, Aaron quit is commercial fishing job and started his tractor business back up! It has been going okay and we have getting jobs from out Bffs the Tilletts as well- shout out Tillett fam, thank you :) But of course Mother Nature had other plans...to rain for 3 weeks straight. So Aaron found another commercial fishing job tile fishing on a different boat. It's nice because he is out about three days at a time and then he is back for about a week or so. So I guess technically he has two jobs and it has been working out pretty well!
My sister in law (friends at church say slaw instead, love it!)...So my slaw, Jessica, starting selling Grace Adele. It is a sister company to Scentsy and Velata. LOVE IT. Grace Adele is purses, clutches, scarfs and jewelry. SHE HAS DONE SO WELL WITH IT and hasn't even had a party- GO girl :) Visit her or shop at her shop jessicareynolds.graceadele.us :) or book a party!
This is a ring that she gave me from her company and I love it :) And it is not too pricey either!
The above five pictures are a day at my parents' house. We took the dogs and laid out by the sound to catch up on some much needed sun that has been missing with all this rain we have had lately. The bottom pic is Jessica's youngest pit, Ember aka babycake aka bad and beautiful lol. This girl is wide open, full of personality and test slaw's patience A LOT. But she is sweet. They fun this day :)
We have had a few waterspouts this summer. If you know me well, you know I love weather - hurricanes, tornadoes, waterspouts, thunderstorms, snow etc....you get. Maybe the weather channel will hire me?? ;) This picture is of the Outer Banks Pier in South Nags Head. This spout doesn't seem to bother the tourists right?? They are dedicated to their week of beach time apparently. I didn't take this, it was shared on fb.
I think this one is phenomenal!!! What an awesome picture, I didn't take this either. I think it would be a bit scary to see a waterspout while out in the boat but I guess you get a front row seat as well! We also had a waterspout in Stumpy Point. Of course I was at work and missed it... but Aaron and his mom got to see it and video it! I have been saying forever that I want to see a waterspout at home because I haven't seen one since I lived with my parents.
This would be my husband with a little dragon on his back....yeah....we were visiting a buddy from church and Aaron decided to check this guy out. I was getting a little freaked out when he got near me! I'm not much of a reptile person, except turtles- they are cute :)
If you know Aaron, you know his love for ICE CREAM (think voice...Leuitenant Dan...ICE CREAM hehe)!! We had just left a birthday party, mind you, and he still needed to have some ice cream....the largest size they have. I guess if I looked like him and had his high metabolism, I would eat like that too.
Last week was my State conference for work. Aaron's mom came with me and when I was asked who I was rooming with I said my mother in law. I got some weird looks and remarks, that were accompanied with well you are lucky to have such a good relationship with her. Yes I am, but no gals actually the word would be blessed :) I SO wish my awesome Mom and slaw could come with us as well. They couldn't get off work :( maybe next time. Anyway we stayed in Wilmington at Wrightsville beach and this was the view from our hotel room!! It rained the entire time we were there...of course...but it was nice to get away.
I won an award!!!! The Early Career award to be exact! I received the letter notifying me about a week and a half before the conference and was in total shock. I applied for it thinking why am I doing this, I am not going to get it. But I did! The people in the picture with me are State Leaders with Cooperative Extension.
We are so blessed to find a church like Source. There are so many great people that are members there, they are so welcoming, loving and just reach out to everyone. Doesn't matter your past or your present, what you are going through. They are there to help you and love you through it. I have never met such fantastic people my life. Most of the people who attend are around our age and Jason's age so that is a plus- including the Pastor! Source shout out- we love y'all!
I have become re-obsessed (word?) with the Twilight Saga. I am so obsessed with these movies, I just cannot get enough. I know I know it's a teenager thing but I just love it...don't judge ;) It would probably be even worse if these came out about ten years ago when I was still in high school. I had a movie day last week watching all the movies again, I haven't watched them in a really long time. I think the obsession stems from how in love and infatuated Edward is with Bella. I think it's the fact the I want to live vicariously through Bella....can I get Amen ladies??? We all just want our guys to be old fashioned and sweet like Edward. The perfect love story.....with some crazy supernatural stuff to go along with it. I also have a slight obsession with The Hunger Games as well :)
Cannot wait for Breaking Dawn Part two to see Bella's new vamp skills ;)

Okay I think that is all I have for now, I feel like this is information overload with picture vomit. I just wanted to catch everyone up on what we have had going on lately :) Hopefully it will not be another two months. Happy Friday and everyone enjoy the weekend- I know I will :)
