Beach vacation recap!

So, it’s been almost a week since I’ve posted. Last Wednesday my fiancé and I got home from the beach. We went from a Saturday to a Wednesday. And we had a great time! It was really nice to be off work for a little bit and not have to worry about things. His mom and step-dad live in a trailer right by a bay and marina! And they have a boat that we went on a couple of times! I told my fiancé that I want to get a boat someday!! Of course that won’t happen for many, many, many years because we have other things to spend our money on right now. But anyway, it was so much fun! The only thing that really stinks about the whole trip is that I got eaten alive by bugs!!! We went to Assateaque Island on the Sunday that we were there and the bugs were awful!! I’m still itching my legs like crazy!! I did get a bit of a tan which I’m surprised about. And yesterday at work one of my co-workers noticed my tan so I’m even more surprised that 4 days after getting back I still have it!

Being the picture freak I am, I took 133 pictures, so I won’t be able to share them all with you. So here some of my favorites from the trip. Oh, and I forgot to mention, we went to Bethany Beach, DE, Ocean City, MD, and Rehoboth Beach, DE. It was my first time being to Bethany and even though the boardwalk is really tiny, it was still nice!

Our first day at the beach!

Our first time on the boat!

   

I’m going to take one of the sunset pictures I take and get it blown up, framed, and put on a wall somewhere. These are just 3 of the pics I took of the sunset. Doesn’t it look gorgeous?

 
We went to Rehoboth Beach and rode some of the rides, including the ferris wheel. This was my first time on a ferris wheel on the beach. It was amazing!! I loved the view from up there!!

I don’t know why we didn’t do something like this the last 2 times we went to the beach, but I think we will definitely do this every year we go now!!
 
Lol…the moon looked awesome so I just had to make him do this.
 
My fiance and his step-dad were fishing and they caught a baby shark twice! This was taken the first time they caught one. It looks like he’s feeding his finger to the shark!!
 
Just like with the sunset picture, I wanna frame a picture like this as well. It looks so pretty and I love how you see light from the moon on the water!!!
 

So that’s about it…now it’s back to working. Oh, and enjoying the pool!! The week before we went to the beach, I was in the pool every single day!! I’m going to make the most of the rest of the summer and pool! Have a great Monday everyone!!!

Did you go to the beach this summer?
What is your favorite part about the beach?

Pool update!

So, we should finally be getting the new pool liner today, yes…I said TODAY!!!! But, we won’t be able to get it up until tomorrow because we still have to get sand for under the pool. Last night my fiancé finished making the box that we are putting the pool in. Now we need to fill it with sand and level it out before we can set up the pool. I am really hoping that I will be swimming in the pool on Friday!!!!

This is the box that the pool will be in. The far end of it is the lower part so that will be filled with more sand than the other side.

Well, that’s all for now. The next pictures you will be seeing of the pool will be of it up and ready to be swam in!!! It stinks that it is the middle of July and it isn’t up, but I’m going to make the most of it and enjoy the rest of my summer with it!!! Have a great Tuesday everyone!!!

What’s new with me? Read this to find out!!

Hello blogging world!!! I know I said I would try to post at least once a week, but that hasn’t been happening. When I said this semester is a busy semester, that was an understatement!!! I’ve never been this busy with school work!!! There is also more group work than I’ve ever had in one semester. Luckily I am getting along with everyone in all of my groups. No one likes to work in groups when they can’t get along with everyone!!

I just started my new job this past Sunday. As I said before, I’m going to be a cashier but first I have to start out by bagging. So all I did on Sunday was bag for different cashiers throughout the day. I think I’m getting the hang of it and can’t wait till I can actually start being a cashier!!! The one thing I have to get used to is standing in one spot all day!! My legs and feet hurt so bad on Sunday because I’m used to moving constantly. I would have never thought that moving constantly could make my legs and feet hurt less than standing in one spot. Now that I’m gonna be standing in one spot at work, I’m getting on my Wii Fit everyday or at least every other day. I gotta stay in shape!

Yesterday my fiancé started his new hours at his work. So now he will be getting off around 3:30!!! I had customer service training from 4-7 yesterday so I wasn’t home when he was home and I wasn’t home for dinner. So tonight will be the first weeknight that we can both eat dinner together at a reasonable time!!! Sometimes he would get off at 7 and I would plan for dinner to be done around then so I could eat with him. It’s gonna be so nice getting to eat around 5 or 6 and getting to eat together!!

Let’s see, what’s new with my Scentsy business you may ask? I have one person who is doing a catalog party and I’m waiting for her to be done collecting orders. I have a party coming up in about 2 weeks so I’m excited for that!! It will be my first party that I’m hosting at someone elses house! The catalog party was supposed to be a home party but then she didn’t have anyone coming so we just made it a catalog party. I’m party of 2 groups on facebook where people can post things they are selling or looking to buy so I posted that I’m looking for people to host a Scentsy party. Well, I got one person that messaged me saying she’s interested in hosting a party so I now have my first party for November!!!

Well, I guess that’s about all I’ve got. I think I updated you with everything that has been going on with me recently. Oh wait, one more thing…I think I mentioned before that my fiance and I are looking into buying a house by next Spring. Well, he is finally going to get to call a lender when he gets off work today so we are hopefully going to get pre-approved for a mortgage soon! Then we will know what our price range is and we can start looking at more houses!! We looked at 3 already, but they were all out of our price range. We were mainly looking at them so we could meet with different real estate agents and find the one that we want to work with.

Have a great Tuesday everyone!!! I will try to post again later this week!!!

Wedding Update

I don’t do many wedding updates, but maybe that’s because I don’t really have that much to update everyone on. We have decided our venue for the wedding and reception a few months ago and paid the deposit. Earlier today we met with a potential photographer to go over pricing and packages. I’m pretty sure we have the photographer narrowed down to 2 people so now we just have to meet up with the other photographer and see which one we can get the better deal from. I think the photography is the second most important thing about a wedding, right after the dress which is number one of course. So it is very important that we get the best possible deal we can.

I think there are 2 big factors in which photographer we will choose. One offers all day coverage while the other one offers either 5, 8, or 10 hours, and then it costs extra per every hour you go over. One of them gives you one photographer and the other gives you two, if you go with a certain package.

Another big factor is the price because after all, we need to make sure we can get the most for our money. But my fiancé and I have agreed, that if we are willing to splurge a little bit on our photography because it is a very important part of the wedding. 

So now we just have have to wait until next week when we hear back from the other photographer so we can set up a time to meet with her. My fiancé is thinking we will go with the guy we met earlier today, but we just have to wait and see what the other one has to offer.

Do you have any advice for us? Is it worth it spending a little extra money if it means we have an unlimited time with the photographer? Is it necessary to have two photographers for a small wedding of less than 150?

My update

Hello blogging world…I feel like I’ve been slacking on blogging recently. I feel like I had more time to blog during the spring semester than I do right now. When you think about it, it doesn’t even make sense that I have less time for it now. I don’t have 6 classes anymore so I should have more time, but I don’t. Work takes up all my time now. I’ve been working day shifts which is really nice because my fiancé also works day shift. And I’ve been working at least 5 days a week. So I do have 2 days off a week, but one of the days I do wash and the other, well, I guess that gives me time to catch up on blogging but who knows what I end up doing.  And actually, this week I’m working 6 days. My day off is Thursday and I can’t wait! After tomorrow, I’ll have worked 8 days in a row so I can’t wait for a day off!

So let’s see….what else am I up to? I’ve been doing more reviews and I will be posting them along with some giveaways in the upcoming weeks. My summer class is going alright. We had our first quiz last week and I got a 96% on it. So far, my grade is great! Only 4 more weeks of the class left!!! And guess what, the class isn’t ruining my summer at all. It’s only twice a week, and it’s never lasted from 5-8:30. We are normally out by 8:00. A few months ago I made myself a goal for the rest of the year: I want to read 20 books by the end of the year. Well, my progress on that isn’t going so well. I’ve only read 1 and a half books so far. Again, I thought I’d have more time to read during the summer, but apparently I thought wrong.

Well, I guess that’s all I have for now. I have to go to work now. It’s gonna be another hot day outside! Let’s hope the tips are good!!! Leave me comments! And don’t forget to enter my 2 giveaways: UGLee Pen and Cream Perfume. Have a great Tuesday!!!
