Our Florida Vacation

We haven't even been back from Florida for a week, and I already miss it!

It was so great spending time with Jesse's family. 

Jesse and I have been together for about 3 years, but I haven't been able to spend much time with his sister or his nieces because they live so far away.  I really, really wish they lived closer.  Or even better, I wish we lived in Florida!

But, I don't know if I can handle all of the freaking bugs.  The first night I was there, I didn't think it was necessary to use any bug spray.  That was a horrible idea.  The next morning I woke up, and had no less that 50 mosquito bites from my knees down.

It was painful.

And itchy.

And very ugly.

And I only brought shorts.

Moving on...

Here are some pictures of our awesome Florida getaway!

This is Jesse's niece.  We went down to Florida for her graduation.  Isn't she so pretty???

My in-laws.  Such a beautiful family!

Sweet little Lilly!

We randomly stopped at some Putt Putt place in Lido Beach, and wouldn't you know it, it also happened to showcase 1 of the 40 albino alligators in the whole-wide world.  Her name is Pearl.  And I was scared of her.

They let us feed the Alligators, but I was scared of these guys too.

Jesse, the master of self-picture taking with his six foot arms.

The beach was amazing!  I felt like I was in Mexico.

The view from our room.  Gorgeous!

Jesse, his sister Jennifer, and his niece Molly.  Miss you guys!

Summer Blog Swap!

Okay, so I participated in a Summer Blog Swap, and just recieved my package in the mail!

For those of you that don't know what a blog swap is (cuz I sure didn't), it basically went down like this...

One of the blogs that I follow was hosting a blog swap, so I signed up for it even though I had no idea what it was.  I was then partnered up with Savanah over at What Makes Savanah Smile. We were told that we were supposed to get to know our partner a little bit, and then start shopping!  We could spend up to $25 and had to mail out our packages within a certain amount of days.

I had so much fun shopping for her, and I was totally pumped to get my package in the mail!  I mean, who doesn't love to get home and find a package waiting on your front porch?

Here's what I got:

1. A Beachy Tote Bag- Which I'm very excited about since I'm going to Florida next week!

2. A new beach towel - This will also come in super handy next week.

3. Nail polish

4. Nail File

5. Palm Tree hand towels

6. Summer Time To-Do List pad.

Thanks so much Savanah!  I love it all!

Okay, moving on to a different topic...

My slacker ways.

Last week I had a plan.  I was going to quit slacking on my blog, and even planned out a whole "Weekend in Photos" blog post that I was going to do on Monday morning.

But then, I forgot to take any pictures over the weekend. So, that didn't really work out for me.

So, I will leave you with one picture that I took.  A picture of my neice and nephew.  I got to babysit them over the weekend, and of course they were absolute angels.  Aren't they just too cute for words?
