Grab Your Partner and Dosey Doe

If you've ever lived or visited the South Eastern United States then I'm sure you've heard country music. Thursday nights at our local country establishment, Cowboys (believe it or not), is ladies night. That means free cover! My old roommate, Allie, and I try to go on the regular. Before we went out I had to take Royce for a walk. Does anyone know how to tire out a Mountain Cur Hound/Pit Mix????

A Gentle Leader and a weighed down dog backpack sure helps

After Royce was all tuckered out it was time to get our line dancing on.

Shake it Like a Belly Dancer

Back in December I started coaching Special Needs cheerleading. I completely fell in love with the Special Needs community after volunteering for Disney's Special Olympics (see that post HERE). Our team name is the Sparklers and we totally dominate the Special Needs cheerleading world. Back in March we drove to Jacksonville, FL to compete against 5 other Special Needs teams in a cheer competition. The Sparklers DOMINATED!! The Sparklers Elite team took home first place and the Sparklers Extreme team took home second.

CONGRATULATIONS COACHES! Job well done!

The Sparklers Extreme and Elite teams.

Now that I've gone off on a tangent, today I will be trying out a new sport that Altamonte Springs Special Needs Recreation has to offer-- Belly Dancing! I didn't get a chance to take any pictures this week. I was too busy trying to get my hips not to lie. (Shakira reference! Score!)... I will try to get some next week.  

Hot Hubby Alert!!

We're going to go back in time a couple weeks. Our wedding photographer, Brian Sumner, has decided that he wants to get into the competitive world of magazine photography. To expand his portfolio he asked Keagan, aka: Hot Hubby, aka: The Bearded Wonder, if he would pose for him in a shoot. Below are the wonderful, fantastic, photos that Brian took.

He's had that Florida State Seminoles hat for close to 7 years. It's a tattered torn mess... It might disappear one day... Just sayin'

I'm so blessed because he really does know how to work on cars... Saves us MEGA cash in the fixing department.

I call this one "King of Junk"

I had to put this one in here because it's 2 of my favorite men! Royce and The Bearded Wonder (TBW)

 

In all seriousness, Brian Sumner is one of the best up and coming photographers. Whether it's a wedding, engagement, or messy-ass garage shoot his photos are flawless!!

Working 9 to 5... Actually 8 to 5

Hopefully you understood the Dolly Parton reference in the title. If you're unaware... Please, refer to the video below:

I am so excited to be a part of the work force again. I'm currently working for an engineering company that does every type of engineering you can imagine. You need it, we do it.

This is the view from my desk. I'm kinda bummed that I don't have any windows but I will take amazing company, and amazing coworks over some sunlight.

Happy Birthday, G-Unit

Today is my G-Unit's (Grandma) birthday! Not only is she still gorgeous she's as quick-witted as ever. We celebrated by going to the Mall at Millenia, window staring at a bunch of things we couldn't afford (Louis Vuitton, Chanel, you know the stores) and hunting TIRELESSLY for a Breast Cancer awareness charm. Apparently, not many stores carry them until October when it is actually Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We finally had success at Brighton.

Happy Birthday, G-Unit.

You're a treasure to us all!!

Is that a good looking trifecta of ladies, or what??

Feliz Cinco de Graduation

One of my best friends in the world graduated today! What better day to celebrate it on then Cinco de Mayo. A day when all other ethnicities pretend to be Mexican and drink insane amounts of tequila to be historically inaccurate and possibly offensive... but the tequila eases the pain. Jess' parents took us to beautiful and delicious Antonio's for a wonderful, tear-jerking celebration. Once the parents went to bed it was time for us to head downtown!

The lovely ladies waiting to get the party started.

A little sexy shoe action

Nothing says, "Happy Graduation, you worked your butt off," like peel and stick moustaches and light up maracas. 

Long Time, No See

I know, I know, I know... I'm the worst at this...EVER...in the history of blogging. A lot has happened since I was last here. We moved, I lost my job, found my "dream job", realized it wasn't my dream job, became unemployed AGAIN, and have recently been RE-employed with an amazing engineering firm. Good things come to those who wait, my friends. We are now in the home stretch to the wedding. 5 MONTHS!!

Now that everything has started to settle down and I'm pulling myself out of my- I'm-26-broke-poor me- not using my degree-have no job- funk I've decided to pick up where I left off. Just fast forward 5 months and 150 (+ or -) pictures.
