May (Almost caught up!!)

May seemed like a busy month, but now that I am thinking of what to blog...I am drawing a blank! I do know that May 4th was the birthday of 2 special people...my (former) roomie Rachel & Ryan's brother Nathan! It was my job to pick up a card for the little bro and this is not the one I got, but I thought it was funny enough to take a picture (and I still think it is hilarious!) so here it is:

hahaha! Ryan later said he would have actually signed it!!

In May I also received a little tid bit in the mail...I guess it is a solidification of what is coming (next week actually!) 

That's Ryan disapproving thumb...

For whoever may not know.... I am getting my Master's degree through FSU's Distance Learning program. We are Gators. We bleed orange & blue. That being said, the fact that FSU offers my degree online is one of the biggest blessings and was a hurdle Ryan and I really had to figure out before getting married. Once he got the job in Ponte Vedra we knew we would live here in Jax, but my degree is not offered at UNF and we thought for a while my only option might be commuting back to Gaiensville EVERY day. That was NOT a solution. Praise God for somehow showing me Florida State's webpage!!

Another little surprise we got one day coming home, was this....

Really Chels?! REALLY!? We were going to be gone for longer that day than we normally are and I just felt bad keeping her in her cage that long...so my bright idea was "lets keep her in the office" (the room where her cage is). We've left her in there before while we were gone for a FEW hours, but I guess a whooole day was too long for her. Can you say "Seperation Anxiety"?? Super Hubby came home and cut the ruined carpet off with a razor and it doesn't look quite so bad. We have yet to even attempt to replace it but for now we have a little rug over it haha.

     A week or so later I took Chels on her first beach trip! She did great; we walked for a while and when we walked to towards the water she was fine with it until a wave (and I mean a tiny one...we were at the very edge of the water) came up on us & she started running backwards with her ears all perked up! Haha it was so cute! So we went back to our towels and chewed on a bone while I soaked up some Vitamin D!

     Last random thing in May.... I made a delicious dinner. Now I do that a lot (if I do say so my self) but this time I tried a new spinach mozzarella chicken breast & backed zucchini! Ryan has liked everything I have made so far, and thankfully I haven't burned anything yet! I was a little nervous making zucchini because a co-worker gave it to me when she brought in a bunch of produce from her garden, but I dared to do it! It was a success!

 

goodnight!
