Trevor' Big Win

Trevor played in a tennis tournament at the Hoover Country Club this past weekend with Bubba(Bill Bussey). They played two games on Saturday and one on Sunday morning. I made it to all of them except the one on Saturday afternoon. It actually stormed in the middle of that one so I am glad I didn't go. They did well in all of them, especially the one of Sunday morning. They had to play a tie breaker for that game and it was very hot. In the end they won the tournament! I am so proud of my hubby. Here is a picture of them with their trophy....
Sorry it isn't very clear, taken with phone!
Trevor has started to take me out some to practice. I am trying to get started playing but I am going to have to have a few more lessons for that. It is such good exerci1se.

Along with Trevor's tournament we went to two birthday parties this weekend. I was a slacker and didn't even take my camera to either of them. On Friday we went to Cocina Superior to celebrate Ashley's birthday with probably 30 people. We had fun but Trevor was tired so we didn't stay really long. On Saturday night we went to Devin's house for his birthday and had a cookout with a bunch of people there. On Sunday I helped my mom with a baby shower at the church for a good family friend. Maybe I can put some pictures up later after I get them from my mom. I love being able to hang out with friends and family now. Hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend!!!

Family Beach Trip

Last Wednesday Trevor and I left work around lunch to head down to the beach to meet my family there. My parents, sister, brother-in-law, and nieces left the Sunday before us so we were excited about getting down there to meet them. We got down there at around five Wednesday night so we just met them at for dinner at Shuckums, one of my old favorites. There was a little wait so we got a chance to catch up on what had been going on so far on their trip and take a few pictures.

We had raw oysters and popcorn shrimp the best way to start vacation. After dinner we went back to the house, unpacked and looked around the house. We stayed at my friend’s(Lindsey) parents house. They have been doing some remodeling so it was nice to see the transformation. My dad actually went down there last summer and helped build an awesome new deck there. We went to Pier Park a few different days for lunch. It is so nice to have that there now. There is good restaurants and stores that we enjoyed going to. We hung out with the kids at the pool and the beach everyday that we were there.

 

It was nice to get to see them so much and my parents too over the past week because I haven’t been able to do that over the past year. Trevor enjoyed lots of fishing, as well. On Friday Trevor, my dad, and Brent went on a fishing trip. They caught lots of good fish and had some good male bonding time. The guy who took them out on his  boat filleted their fish afterwards so we enjoyed that for dinner Friday night, along with 3lbs of shrimp. Of course they are boys and took no pictures of that experience. Two of the nights we went walking on the beach with the girls and caught crabs, “ocean crabs”, as Maci called them!! She was cracking us up the way she caught them with her hands. She was not scared at all. She was even talking to them when she put them in her cup when they tried to crawl out, “No Mam”, she would tell them.

 

We could not have left the beach without doing family pictures. I looked into getting us a professional photographer but I started looking a little too late. Oh well! 

We left early Sunday morning to get back to relax for a little bit at home before Monday. I was so glad that we were able to go with them, since we had just got back from Antigua, but now it is back to the real world of working. I still have to take boards, which I registered for today. So the studying for those will start pretty soon.

Antigua # 2

On my 101 list was to go out of the country again whether it be Sandals or not and it was. We had such a wonderful time. It was a much needed vacation after graduation and for Trevor and I. We were unable to spend much time together this past year so it was nice to have just us for 5 nights!! We left on Wednesday at 6 a.m. We flew to Miami were Trevor found this fun little thing to play with while we waited on our next flight.



I didn't have time to go to the book store before we left to get a good book so while we were in Miami I went to some stores. My goal was to get Water for Elephants, but of course out of the 2500 book stores they had they were all sold out. I ended up getting The Matters of the heart. It has been pretty good so far. I haven't had a chance to finish it yet. We got to Antigua at around 2 that afternoon. When we got to the hotel were we were greeted with Campaign and a few snacks before they showed us to our room.





I was pretty impressed with how nice it was. It was a lot bigger than the last Sandals we stayed at. It was almost a little bit overwhelming. After we unpacked our bags, which I am a little bit OCD about when we go on vacation, we walked around a little before making our way to the pool.







As soon as we got in the pool we met a couple on there honeymoon from Nashville who actually went to Auburn. They were super nice and we hung out with them some the rest of the time we were there. After leaving the pool we walked on the beach some.





It was probably the softest sand I have ever walked on before. It was almost like mud. AMAZING!!! That night we went to Mario's for dinner.



It was Italian and delicious. The rest of the trip we stayed by the pool and beach the whole time with only a few exceptions. We went shopping one day at St. Johns Bay.



Didn't really buy much just wanted to get out and about. The only other time we left the resort was to go do the zip line adventure. The zip line was more fun than I thought it would be. I thought it would be like one line that we went across but it was more like 12, I think. After the regular zip lines we went on a extreme course of different obstacles to do while we were in between trees.











I can't really describe it but it was a lot of fun and some what challenging.

One night we went to the gift shop at the resort and Trevor got him a little surprise.



While at the resort we played pool volleyball most days and went out in the ocean some in these...





We also took these things out that look like extreme bikes on water. They were fun but a work out.
On the way back we had a long day of flying. With us coming home on a holiday there were fewer flights to choose from so we had to make two different connections on the way back.

We have been home for a week now so I figured it was about time to make a post. As my body is getting back to work mode we only have a two day work week this week then we are headed to the beach to meet my family. My parents, sister, brother-in-law, and nieces left this past Sunday to head down there. Trevor and I are leaving Wednesday and then coming back Sunday. I am ready to get there.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!
