Aug and I will be meeting up with my little sis and her husband for a roaring good time. 
They just stocked up on some sweet Ikea gear for their apartment.

I can't wait to eat the most delicious burrito ever @ El Farolito.

I can't wait to walk through the streets of the most freaking amazing and biggest Chinatown in the states.

& I can't wait to drive down the PHC to Monterey.

I HOPE I SEE A SEAL!

Don't tempt me with a good time ...

Oh life,

with a good time...

Recent travels, friends, and experiences, have gave me the itch. 

I'm ready to go, get out, live, learn, laugh, play and make moves. 

BRING IT.

We've already got close to $700 in our Spain jar...

and I've already got hot on Aug's tail to rearrange his schedule for 

a November road trip from San Francisco to LA

 to see friends (& Sister in Montrey!!) 

CAN'T WAIT!

crabby crabby

Today was rough. My sister left for California and I already miss her SO MUCH.
We are only 15 months apart and have been super close our whole lives.
I'm a blubbering baby. Seriously, so sad.
But,
 I can't wait to go visit them out in Monterey!

On the other hand ...
Monday was a great day.

Our boat is in the shop and the fish weren't biting sooooo,

we went crabbing!

Grabbed a few turkey necks and some cold ones and headed out to the ochlockonee bay.


Caught lots of hermits at first! 
They were adorable.

Our little oasis...

Aug scoopin'

Aug nettin'

Boil time...

A few crabs, shrimp later...

mmm mmm mmmm! 

For the boil we added some sweet & hot peppers from a friends garden, onions, garlic cloves, corn, chives, red potatoes, hot sausage, orzo pasta, sea salt, pepper, lemon & lime juice, crab boil seasoning bag, king fish chunks (from a previous fishing trip), shrimp, and some blue crab.

Drizzle some butter on top and enjoy! 

Happy Labor Day weekend folks!! 

We will either be 

camping / fishing / both / hanging / chillin / laughing / beaching

What are your plans?!

flea fun

Hello & happy Tuesday. What a beautiful weekend it was in Tallahassee. 

There is a bit of cool in the air now and it feels soooo niiiice. 

Aug's band Relondondo played a show on Saturday night, 

always a good time.

Sunday was great, brunch with some friends then Papi & I went off to the flea market.

I almost came home with those chickens. 

I've got a coop that needs some love.

apparently anything is for sale?

hope everyone has a great evening!

as most know...

The new Arcade Fire is so good!

Just had a delicious brunch with a few friends and this song came on my ipod on the drive home.

Just thought I'd share :)

Happy Sunday!

reeeeecap

I don't even know where to start! 

So much has happened this week and I feel like my head hasn't stopped spinning and my feet haven't stopped moving.

I worked my first 11hr back to back day at the salon and I will admit, I'm beat. 

Julia and Eddie are happily married and on honeymoon in Hawaii. 

The wedding was nothing short of spectacular. 

I'm slowly transitioning back into somewhat of a schedule and it feels nice.

I made the first home cooked meal in weeks on Tuesday and it felt and tasted great! 

I'll post pics and recipes later :)

Here are some pictures from the weekend:
Thanks Jamie for the snapshots! 

Now, hurry up weekend! 

I'm ready for you!
