GROSS and Summer School!

Gross what??
 Well...my ears have been hurting for the past week. Starting out itchy and then began to become painful. The Mr. found an ENT doctor that could take me yesterday without an appt. So I hurried over there and come to find out...
I have a fungi in my ears.
GROSSS!
And kind of embarrassing! EWE.
The doc said it was just from water, soap, and shampoo getting inside of my ears.
He loaded me up with drops and I have to wear cotton balls in my ears when I shower...no fun but if it makes the pain go away, I'm okay with it!


As, yall know, I'm working on my masters. I love grad school actually. I started back in January and made all A's my first semester! Well, I'm taking 9 hours of summer school! WHEW!
But I have the time now, and my job allows summers open, so I might as well take advantage of the time.
I'm taking on June class(starts June 10 and goes through the beginning of July) and two online classes that are June-very beginning of August. I don't think it will be too bad. I'm not huge on taking online classes, but it was really the only way to fit more hours in. So technically I only have one week until summer school starts! But I'm looking forward to it!

Happy Friday!
What are your weekend plans?

Getting Into Summer

If you know anything about me, I'm usually busy.
I've been this way my entire life.
Even when I was little I was involved in so much; dance, cheerleaing, church, social stuff and more.
This continued into high school and college. Working, sorority, gym time, clubs, and much  more.
And when I got married and got a big girl job nothing really changed with my business.
I've had a full time job, part-time job, church activities, cake baking, working out/training and much more for the past two years.
I wouldn't change any of this!
I'm very blessed to have a busy/great life!

I woke up my first day off of school about a week ago and had no idea what to do. I looked at the Mr. and said, "I don't have any plans...I don't have to be somewhere." I felt out of place. I felt weird. Then I thought about what the Mr. said to me, "LA, you've wanted a break for a while, just enjoy it!"
He's right. I have wanted a break. But I guess when I wanted a break I didn't think about what that would be like.  I'm starting to be okay with this break.
I've found many things to do. Lunch dates, tubing fun, rest, organizing, taking pictures, party planning, and so much more.
I need to slow down sometimes, that's what this break has taught me.
It's okay to have alot of activities in my life, but it's okay to just be still and rest.
Just wanted to share my little life lesson with you guys today. :) 

The Mr. and I had a great day today!
(It's really neat being home together, we haven't gotten sick of each other! :))
We usually go to our local Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings, well we remembered that it is open on Tuesday afternoons too! So we headed to check out what veggies were available! We were off on a little date!

Then we headed to a local diner/bakery for an early dinner! And came home with these sweets for later! :)
We love that there are so many unique places in our town.
Locally owned and grown is always the best!

When we got home our pups wanted to play!

Please excuse the fact that I don't have any make up on! But Ethel Bug looks cute! 
They love to play fetch in the back yard! Ethel just runs along...Lucy doesn't let her the toy much! 
Waiting on Mr. to throw the toy!

Overall I'm enjoyin' summer and this break I've been blessed with. I know come fall, I'll be begging asking for another break.

Happy Tuesday y'all!

Tubing Adventures

Our tubing adventure was awesome!
SO fun!

The Mr. goes down the river all the time with our friend T. And I've gone once with T and J. Well our close friends M and J wanted to go down the river today!
And we had a blast!!

The boys did all the dropping off of the cars and picking up Subway! And then they got us and we headed down the river!

Our large tube wouldn't fit in the car, so we had to put it on top. But we didn't have any rope. So we had to use an extension cord! ha!
M said I was holding the "kite" down! ha!

Arriving at the river with the goods in hand!

Lunch is needed with all the hard work you do while tubing! ha! :)

The boys got us girls in and ready!
 Using our cup holders for their beverages! ha!

Then we were off!
The river has small rapids that are just enough to cool you off but not knock you out of your tube!
A little bit into our trip there is a rope swing.
Here is the Mr. about to go for his first swing!
(Notice that us girls are just watching this activity!)

WHOOOHOOOO!
Great form! :)

Next up...J! 
WHOOOOHOOO!
So fun!

We are so blessed to have such great friends! Our day was filled with great talks about the past and future! And many many laughs, as usual! We ended our day with yummy hotdogs and tots!

What a great way to start out our Memorial Day Weekend!
