Make lemonade

When life gives you a hurricane....make lemonade! That is what the saying says right? :) Since hurricane Earl and Gaston ruined our plans to visit the Virgin Islands, I told Brandon...I am on a plane Thursday no matter what! I hadn't seen him in what seemed like forever. We both had the week off so we were able to meet up at his parents home in sunny Florida!! Oh, another grand thing about the trip is that I had a 3 hour layover in ARIZONA. You KNOW Dooooogalie (SARAH) came and picked me up.
We hit up this cute little restaurant and had AMAZING bruschetta I loved seeing her and her cute little pregnant belly. Love you Sar!
Well, it was a sweet reunion with Brandon to say the least!

First thing is first. We met up with Nate and headed to the beach.

Scouting out the surf.
The good news for Florida was that the hurricane brought in some really HUGE waves usually unknown to Florida. Surfer's paradise this day.

We had a good time hangin on the beach...

Playing in the water...

Loving life...
Finding wildlife...
Collecting AMAZING sea shells that the hurricane brought in...

Brandon and I picked out a pile of seashells that we liked and set them aside.

Brandon: "Ok, pick out your favorite one's and put them over here on the opposite side."

He was busy watching the ocean while I picked out my favorites.

Brandon: "Um honey, I told you to pick out your FAVORITE shells to bring home. Not just to move the entire pile to the other side!"

Me: "Ooopsy daisies! I guess I just like them all!" And yep, we took them all home :)

After that we went home and just chilled out in his backyard.

Watched some Sandhill cranes.
Enjoyed the trees
Loved the lake
Kickin it FLORIDA STYLE
AAWWWHHHH....Just relaxin'

I can honestly say it was a perfect day!!
