I love getting flowers

A really BIG thank you to my amazing friend Cathy for sending me the most gorgeous and awesome smelling bouquet of flowers today. What an incredible surprise! The flowers were exactly what I needed after the last 2 weeks of everything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Cathy. You brightened my whole day and I get to enjoy them at home over the long weekend!!!!!

Head Shot

We had our head shots taken at work for use on our website and maybe the annual report. I choose the first one! It was so weird to get all dressed up in a suit jacket and blouse, I try not to wear that to work too often, way to hot in Florida in the summer.

Back to School!

Back to School! 3rd Grade, here he comes. I can hardly believe it, it seems like yesterday he was off to kindergarten and now, a big 3rd grader.

Shopping with the Boraks

What fun Andrew and I had yesterday. We went up to Brandon to the Cheesecake Factory to meet my sorority sister LuAnne and her 3 beautiful children, Christian, McKenna and Carson. The boys talked Pokemon and the girls talked Delta Phi Zeta and birthday parties. After lunch we went shopping in the mall and the kids had an amazing time at Brookstones. What a great afternoon.

Happy Birthday to me and Melissa

I just love my girlfriends! We celebrated my birthday and Melissa's Birthday the other night with a summer BBQ.
