A Short Visit

April 3, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

What a super Sunday! This had been a great day and a great weekend! Today my parents drove over for a little visit and to bring us a few things we still had left at the house, etc. It was so good to see them! I had the whole day planned. First my dad brought his saw so we could saw boards for the attic to put more of our crap on. Then we went to our new favorite Mexican restaurant for some lunch. We came home and went for a nice walk along the nature trail, and then sat upstairs on the balcony and had brownies and ice cream.

It is an absolutely beautiful day. Sunny and warm but with a nice cool breeze blowing!

Doesn’t my mom look 30? I hope I look half as good as her when I am 55!

Bobby chooses to take his life into his own hands and sit on the railing. Scares me every time.

We had a bumble bee visitor and my dad was trying to whack it with the fly swatter. The bee was taunting us. It would never get close enough!

They left about 2:30 and I was sad. Good thing about having visitors, it was a good excuse to clean my house, so now it’s all tidy! Also I am happy we got the boards down in the attic so now we can finish unpacking the bonus room and get the boxes into the attic!

Now Bobby is snoring on the couch and I am making a list of things I need to do for work tomorrow. Busy busy! Hope you are enjoying your weekend as much as I am!

P.S. Can you believe we have been in our house a MONTH?

    Aw I love time with my parents! I only seem them maybe once a month, because they are 3 hours away, and I miss them so much! Looks like you had such a fun day with your mom and dad 🙂

    I usually see them about once or twice a week. They live about 15 minutes away from where I do. I used to live 10 HOURS away though!

    You look just like your mom!

    I LOVE you porch! I can only imagine how amazing it will be when your yard is all grown in and such!

    Right now I see my mom a lot – usually at least once a month. However, we are working our way toward a move that will take us states away. I think that will take some adjusting. No more “hey, I’m bored, lets hang out” planning with my mom. I didn’t realize it before we seriously considered the move, but yeah, I’m a mommy’s girl!

I really thought he was SO cool when we first met I really thought he was SO cool when we first met in college. 
I mean, he drove a red corvette and was two years older than me. 💁🏻‍♀️

Turns out he’s just been confidently weird this whole time and hiding it really well. 🤣

Anyone else married to a professional goofball? 🤦🏻‍♀️

If you’re planning a trip to Florida’s Forgotten C If you’re planning a trip to Florida’s Forgotten Coast, save this one. 🌊 #RentingTheCoastPartner

We stayed at Singing Waves in Cape San Blas, and it was everything we wanted in a beach getaway: beautiful views, plenty of space, and the kind of place that makes you slow down and actually enjoy vacation.

What really stood out, though, was Renting the Coast. They’re a locally owned, family run company that manages vacation homes throughout Cape San Blas, Port St. Joe, Mexico Beach, and the surrounding Forgotten Coast communities. 

Instead of managing hundreds of properties, they intentionally keep their inventory smaller so they can provide a more personal experience for both guests and homeowners. They’re known for being accessible, responsive, and focused on making sure every stay goes smoothly.

If Cape San Blas has been on your travel list, Singing Waves is absolutely worth checking out, and so is Renting the Coast’s collection of homes along Florida’s most underrated stretch of coastline. ☀️

Ready to start planning your own Forgotten Coast getaway? Click the link in my bio to explore available homes and find the perfect spot for your next beach vacation.

Have you ever visited Cape San Blas?

We’re always looking for ways to be intentional with our family’s decisions, which is why we’ve been learning more about Liberty HealthShare and the healthcare sharing community they’ve built.

Have you ever looked into healthcare sharing before? If you are curious like me, check out the link in my bio or stories for info!

There should be a support group for millennials wh There should be a support group for millennials who still think we’re the “young adults” in the room… until a casual conversation reminds us otherwise. 😭

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s been personally victimized by the passage of time and a perky Gen Z girlie. 😂

#ad #BraunPartner Less time shaving. More time liv #ad #BraunPartner Less time shaving. More time living thanks to @BraunBeautyUS Smart IPL. ✨ 

I didn’t realize how much mental space hair removal was taking up until it just… wasn’t anymore. Between games, trips, and everything in between, having something I can do at home in minutes has been a total game changer. The app-guided treatments keep me consistent without having to think about it, and I’m already noticing smoother skin that actually lasts. And yes — the full-body, 10-minute-at-home situation still feels a little unreal. 

If you’ve been on the fence, Prime Day (June 14–27) is definitely the moment to check it out with $120 off. #BraunSmartIPL
