Magic Kingdom... At the Resort....





Aloha!! We are officially home from the coast and already missing the salty sea air. (I don't miss the humidity however :) We had a fabulous time and enjoyed all the "tasties" of the sea including raw oysters on the half shell and shrimp and fresh gulf fish. YUMMMMMMMMY! We had good flights down to Orlando and didn't have any delays to speak of. The villa's at the resort that we stayed at were AMAZING with amenities including a whirlpool tub in our bedroom and three massive pools around the resort. We went to Disney for two days then to Cocoa Beach on the Atlantic side and then Sanibel Island on the Gulf side. We had a wonderful time picking up shells at Sanibel (which is the sea shelling capital of the WORLD!) and brought lots of beautiful conch es, oyster and snail shells. Disney was of coarse "magical" and both days were great riding the rides and taking TONS of pictures.


My conference was very interesting and I got to listen to some of the best surgeons in the country talk about neonatal, neurospinal and orthopedic surgeries for the last three days. The opening ceremonies Dan was able to come with and we had a great time at the dinner and dance with all my classmates and friends. Overall the trip was FANTASTIC and we just had a great time. We brought home many shirts, shells, souvenirs, dark tans and peeling skin. :) Here are some pictures from our escapades....

FINALLY getting back to the blog 2 weeks later!

Image
So! I know it's been FOREVER since i've blogged and my apologies! :) Dan and I have been house-sitting a ranch (Still Waters Ranch) and were watching around 35 horses, 2 dogs and a bunch of cats...needless to say we were a bit busy! We started the day of my last final of school and just got done last night and i've just not had the time to blog or show any pictures until today. We had a great time and everything ran smoothly other than a few minor glitches like naughty horses and automatic waters that deceided to over run! :) Anyway, it's nice to get back home and get back into the swing of things. I just took on a few more clients and i'm working with their horses now in additon to the Hudson's horses. I'm going to be working with a horse named Tumnus to help him learn how to jump...he's a WONDERFUL little guy and I like to call him "tum-tum" :) I'm also still riding a jumping horse for a girl who had to have surgery and hasn't...

Last Beautiful days of Summer break...

Image
Well! I've really been enjoying my vaca from school (hence the no blog postings lately..Sorry!) and i'm really bummed to have to go back on Monday. I've been enjoying my horse-time every day and NOT having to study! Oh well, it'll all be over in about 8 months... yeay ! :-) Here's a few pictures of our " shinanigans " over the last few weeks... That's right...I'M REALLY HOLDING MY OWN FISH!!! but Damon was so kind as to take it off the hook for me! ;-) And please notice that Dan's fish is MUCH smaller than mine! (Actually, Damon and Greg told me how to hold my fish to make it look bigger in the picture...it's really about the same size as Dan's it just looks much bigger :-) Ha! Anyway, hope everyone is having a great summer thus far, Adio's for now!

10 Strange/Random/Weird things about me...

Image
OK, I know that I'm weird, but I think it DEFINITELY runs in the family! :) She's just as goofy as me! Even my best friends are strange! Sorry Sarah! Couldn't resist! :) OK, so Sarah Mast tagged me in one of her blogs and now I have to list 10 random or strange things about me. Well if you know me well enough, you know that I'm just WEIRD/RANDOM period. Oh well, I'll do it anyways! :) This is for you Sarah! 1. I don't like watermelon or pickles. Which I know are American classics and it's weird, but I can't STAND the texture of them! Therefore, no go. 2. I HATE clowns. They terrify me. 3. I'm scared to death of chickens and think they only should be allowed to live to be able to eat them later. ( I was attacked multiple times as a kid by chickens, ask my sister!) 4. I LOVE to go hunting and shoot blue rock. I can't shoot anything besides birds though cause there's no way I could shoot Bambi. 5. I also love smoking cigars. Swisher sweets ar...
