Day 49: Making Donations

In March, my sister-in-law is shaving her head to donate to research for childhood cancer! I cannot be more proud of her for what she is doing for such a beautiful cause. If you or any of your family members are interested in donating, please let me know! I wouldn't normally do this, but I can't get over how dedicated my sister-in-law, and so many others in this world, are to children. Especially children with special needs.

I know that many of us aren't floating around in tons of cash, but even just $1 helps! I was only able to donate $10, and let me tell you how wonderful it felt to know that it's going towards such a great cause.

Day 35: Just Be Yourself

My morning started off with the best advice you can ever hear, and it came from my wonderful Mother: “Just be yourself!”

Without going into TOO many details, because I don’t want to get excited just yet, I will tell you that I had a job interview today! When I find out the ‘results’, you know I will for sure spread the word! Until then, I will tell you that it went really well, I was in a super great mood for 10:00AM and the view from the interview spot was spectacular, sunny and bright. I’m praying that those same words can be used to describe my mood in a few days when I get the call!

Until further notice, I’ll leave you with these pictures from my day! I was super excited about this adorable, sheer peachy-colored shirt that I got for my interview, which turned into a casual shirt with shorts for my post-interview coffee and Skype date with a great friend!

Day 27: Delayed Presents

So, I got this AWESOME bottle opener from my Brother and Sister-in-Law before I left for vacation two weeks ago, but I never got to brag about it! I love, love , love (obsessed with) Fleur De Lis's! This has a huge tie-in with my love for the city of New Orleans. Being that my family knows me so well, they knew I would put this to good use. Lets just say, I'm keeping it in my purse because you never know when you might need one.

Day 12: Family Time

So glad I was able to spend this day with my Ohio family! After a Saturday morning of shopping, we finished it off with football, snacks, and 'Cards Against Humanity'! If you have never heard of 'Cards Against Humanity', look it up. You won't be disappointed.

Day 11: Travel Time

Vacation has started! My mother and I made it safely to Ohio! As much as I'm already missing my Dad, I am so stoked to be here with tons of family and friends. As you would imagine, I demanded to be taken to the airport waaaay before departure time so that my mother and I could sneak in some quality bonding time...at the bar. I would imagine by now that you probably think I may have some sort of obsession with adult beverages. You're probably right. But, I like to think of it was 'having a good time'. There's no shame in that. Anywho, I will admit that it may be a bit chilly here in Cincinnati, but I'll soak up this break from the sweat-dripping 80 degree weather that I left back in FLA.

Day 3: Water Baby

I was born in Sarasota, but didn't live here long enough to appreciate the amount of history and beauty that this city holds. Today, Dad and I took a trip out to the edge of the water to one of my favorite food spots: The Old Salty Dog. Although they are famous for their deep fried hot dogs, I can't say that I indulged in said hot dog. Instead, I enjoyed a Grouper Wrap with a side of the oh-so-addicting Diet Coke.

After our wonderful, filling lunch, Dad and I took a drive up Gulf Of Mexico Drive. This had to be one of the most beautiful drives I have ever taken. Past all of the high rise condos and beautiful golf courses, were the calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. I'll tell you right now that the view of that large body of water never gets old. Although I didn't get to snap any photos of this scene because it started to drizzle, I will hopefully make it over that way again soon so that I can share those photos with you! But, for today, enjoy pictures of the rustic and cute Old Salty Dog! :)

Cutest little boat, named after one of my all time favorite 'Beatles' songs!

My De-li-cious Grouper Wrap!

Some of their festive decorations!

The scene from their front dock. Never gets old.
