One fish, two fish…

I just started to volunteer at the Pet Smart Humane Society. Nick thought it was a great idea but made it clear I could not bring home any cats while volunteering. Yesterday I was very surprised when Nick decided to take me on a secret/surprise date and took me to the Human Society adoption center. Huh? What??? Yes! That's right we got a new cat! Nick and I spend several hours playing with cats and kittens to choose the one that would best fit with Mahi and us. We found a darling 1 year old cat who we named Mako. Mako is actually a name of a shark. So, far the house is divided because Mahi will have nothing to do with us or Mako. But we know over time Mahi and Mako will get along just fine!

Yey! For the handy man in my life!

Due to the fact that we don’t have a fence, our chickens are currently living in our screen porch. It is working well for the time being but we know we have to make other arrangements. Nick being the handy man that he is took this challenge and began building a chicken coop. We now have a more suitable place to house our girls.  I praise God for blessing me with such a handy and loving man!

It’s October and it’s still 90 degrees!

Living in Florida requires one to enjoy the sun and the heat year around. Sometimes it can be a little monotonous but, when you get to spend a perfect day at the beach it doesn’t seem so bad. After class, Nick and I headed to the beach! The weather was great and the water was very clear. The ocean was pretty flat except for the 5+ shore waves, which were a lot of fun to jump over and surf. We spent the time collecting some cool shells, then we skipped them in-between the waves, and ended up getting a a nice little tan. What can I say it was a perfect fall day!

Shrimp pimp perks!

Being a shrimp pimp has it’s delicious perks!(Nick works at a shrimp hatchery so I often refer to his job title as Shrimp Pimping) The other night on our date night, Nick brought home a large sum of fresh, jumbo sized, aqua cultured, FREE shrimp! It was a real treat! For dinner we ended up eating what seemed like endless shrimp, steamed asparagus, and applesauce. Yum, yum, yum! :)
