Friday Catch-Up

Holy smokes it's been *cough cough* 3 weeks since we talked!

bad girl, Tristan. bad..

I can assure you I have not just been lounging around in bed and relaxing. I have been running my little ass off for the last three weeks.

// We bought a new truck exactly ONE day before we left for Miami. She's a beeeeast.

// The day that we actually left town I retrieved approximately 500 hats and shirts to sell at the boat show.

// We drove to Miami for the boat show. This was home for 5 days.

// Then a few days later I helped throw a double birthday party on the boat with around 40 people on board. The cakes were awesome!

// On our way home I finally got to stop in Orlando to visit the Victoria's Secret Outlet. It was HUUUUGE!!

// We arrived home last Wednesday the 18th. On Thursday around 5:30pm our friend, Jim, called and asked us to fly back to Florida to get out his big boat, Freedom. We agreed and were on a flight at 6am Friday morning.

steamy, warm Florida... not

// We took a little drive down to Islamorada to hang out with our boating buddies that went on the poker run.

// Sunday we took a little cruise around South Miami and I still can't believe I captured this shot...

Yes, my friends, that's a mom and baby dolphin. I die. Dolphins are my favorite!!

// We have been home since Monday and I'm so glad! Traveling is exhausting. Sometimes I can be such a homebody.

// And today I am going to head up to the lake to see my mom and my bestie is having her gender reveal party! I literally can not wait to find out if she is having a girl or a boy!!

Have a great weekend!

The Last Two Weeks in Photos

Oh hey there! Let's do this really quick so I can get back on track with the regular antics around here.

Baby Kitty is still name-less but he fits in pretty well as my office cat.

 Boo Boo is still truckin' along. His birthday was August 9th and he turned 14 years old.

A few Saturday's back (August 16th) Tyson, Neely, Jefferson, Sam and I went to a German beer festival in Freistat, MO. The food was delish-- bratwurts, sauerkraut, and traditional potato salad. And beer... looooots of beer.

 Turns out carnies are not very good photographers.

Then the next weekend was the Shootout. AKA the greatest week of the whole year.

 The turnout for Supercat Fest was great!

 And yes... this is me actually racing in the Shootout. I did 80mph!

 Pink helmet and pink life jacket, of course!

It was soooo HOT.

But there were a lot of people there!

  The Wednesday after the Shootout was my birthday. I might have done a little shopping... oops. I found this absolutely awesome bright pink/coral top at Cavendar's and

fell.

in.

love.

And I've been dying to get some cute cowboy boots but NONE OF THE CUTE ONES FIT ME. I have a really high arch and wear a size 9 or 10 usually. I literally could not get on a boot that didn't have a side zipper. Then as I was leaving I spotted these and fell in love. They are a riding boot style with the western snip-toe which is sort of unique.

 For my birthday dinner we went to the Japanese steakhouse. It was very yummy!

Birthday outfit!

Like I said... I LOVE that top!

 And my birthday cake was pretty bad ass!

I got some pretty neat prezzies, too!

Neely gave me this awesome anchor bracelet by Kiel Patrick James.

And Tyson got me some cute workout gear!

On Labor Day I went to the Lake to see my mom and my baby boy Bonzai.

And on Saturday I went to Mallory's dads 60th birthday party. It was fun to see so many people from my home town.

And of course I went boating...

 GO MIZZOU!

So that's pretty much what I've been up to. Obviously there was some work in there. Now that our busy season of boating and traveling is over for a little bit, this place should get back to normal. I've got some posts I am excited to do about makeup, hair, and clothes so look out for those soon!

Happy Thursday.

4th of July Weekend

Tyson and I went to Lake of the Ozarks for the 4th of July. We did the typical stuff like watch fireworks...

We went to a pool party at Coconuts...

 Don't mind that chicks butt crack showing... she must have accidentally put those bottoms in the dryer.

We went boating...

'MURICA!

And we met some new friends!

So pretty much we just did normal stuff for a summer weekend.

As for other news in Tristan's world...

I've been working and stuff.

I've been trying to figure out why my cat isn't eating his food. All he wants is turkey lunch meat and to sit in bed with Tyson.

I've been planning Tysons' moms 69th birthday party.

I've been anxiously waiting for the release of the new iPhone 6. I neeeeeed it.

I've been trying to run and go to the gym more than twice a week. Uggghhhh...

anyways...

I just read that Leslie at A Blonde Ambition is doing a different kind of Confessional Friday this week. She is asking for a post in regards to "a day in the life" where we write about what a typical day is like for us. But she wants RAW and TRUE material. I am actually very excited for this post! If you are interested in linking up, click here for her rules. I think I will record my day on Thursday and post on Friday if that makes sense.

Gotta go run errands now. Have a great Tuesday!

Quick Summer Catch-Up!

Total blog neglect going on right now. Let's fix it!

About a week after Memorial Day we went to Jacksonville for a the Jacksonville River Rally Poker Run. I love this run because 100% of money raised goes to charity and a good friend of mine hosts it. My favorite part is on Saturday afternoon we go to his house and hang out by his pool.

Talk about epic party! There were food and drinks and HELICOPTER RIDES!

One of our friends from Atlanta has this beautiful helicopter and he graciously gave us a ride around the river!

I hate it when my helicopter matches my boat. (Not...)

It was seriously so awesome!!

Right after the poker run we had to fly to Virginia Beach for work. Trade shows are SO BORING. But we did get to go to the beach!

We have been home for about two weeks so I have been working and laking. I prefer laking over working but whatevs...

Maybe it's because of these amazing sunsets.

So that's pretty much what I've been doing for the past month. Oh and eating delicious snow-cones.
