On the GO

Heyyy folks! Sorry it has been a while. Andrew and I stay pretty darn busy.. First it was Andrews graduation from STATE: YaY, then it was his graduation party at my house.. After that his folks decided to get a place at the beach right down from my family's so we have been beaching it for the past few weekends..! Man, I was ready for a break!
Upon all of this I have really realized how blessed I am with Andrew by my side. I can honestly say we are a one-of-a-kind couple. We RARELY ever fuss nor argue. We get along SO great and are always there to uplift the other. For that I am thankful.

As my family decided to host a graduation party for Andrew on Saturday May 22, 2010 we were so greatful for his whole family and my whole family to be there as well as a few of our friends. We had a great time and it was BEAUTIFUL weather. As our L-O-N-G country driveway was lined with red and white balloons I was so proud of all that Andrew had accomplished. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Agriculture Business Management with plans to work with his dad at the family business. My family is so proud of him and the young man he is becoming. As stated in earlier post my dad told Andrew if he could graduate that he would buy him a pistol of his choice.. So Andrew and I went to a gun shop, picked one out and he ended up getting this the night of the graduation party.. Pictures will be up another day. (Im running on borrowed time!)

No sooner than we could get done with graduation his folks decided that they wanted a place at the beach. This has worked out so good for us- My family has a place on the outside of Swansboro and it happens to be RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER from his family! So when we go to the beach we are together either at our place, or his. This past weekend we had a good time on the boat. My family was able to show his dad some of the "fishing spots" we enjoy, and the island we go on to layout! As we went out in the ocean fishing the weather was SO nice. We cought quite a few blue's and spanish. (pictures soon!) Andrew LOVES going out fishing, esp. with my uncle.. I believe Andrew wants to grow up and be just like him. :) Thats all I ever hear from him. LOL.

So. As we got back home and in the grind of things my mom called Andrew and said she found us a plane ticket to the FL Keys!! (She calls him WAY more than she calls me.) Upon this conversation she said that we would actually be leaving a day earlier! Yay! So, our plane flight out is Friday afternoon at 5:45pm on June 18th! I cannot imagine the plane flight into FL at sunset! A-MAZ-ING! We are so excited. My dad already told us that if we enjoy the time share this year that he would put a down payment before we leave for next year! :) How nice!

Well, I appologize for no pictures this time.. I am in a hurry to run to Bailey and "pack boxes" for our business since he has to work today. I will be back soon to post a few of each thing! If there is anything mis-spelled, again, Im sorry. Im in a tizzy :) Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, we sure did!
Stay in touch!

Yahoooo!

So, I was pretty shocked to see that on the TOP 10 lowest paying jobs that being a teacher and a social worker was one of them. Would have never guessed that.. Ecp with a 4 year degree for both. My dad frequently prints mess like his off, and feels the need to share it with me. Although, that did catch my attention!

Hallelujah!

Wow! I am so excited that I pulled off a high B+ in A&P II! Lord knows I really wanted that!

On the side lines, Andrew and I's business started yesterday-- Man we couldn't have asked for things to go any better! We have formed such a great partnership with Rob and Courtney and for that we are blessed.

So I got up yesterday morning at 6AM and got ready, was at Andrews by 7AM. We had to go to Raleigh first thing that morning because Andrew had a final to take at 9AM. So as he took his test I stayed in the truck and did secretary-like things =) No sooner that I got started, he was done..
So we leave Raleigh and head to Perry's Gun Shop so Andrew can pick out a glock (pistol) that my dad is buying him for graduation. We talk about getting night-sights put on//this//that//&& the other. Paid for. Done. He will not see or get until the graduation party at my house.

So from this point on our day was slam packed!! Wilson deliveries, Home deliveries, Red Oak deliveries and then our Nashville and RMT drop - off locations!
Nashville 4:45-5:15
Rocky Mount 5:30-6:00
We were so impressed how every one was there to pick up their produce on time and in a fashionable manner. We had to wait on NO ONE! We were at each of our locations on time and out in no time. What a praise!

In looking back I am just in awe that this vision of Andrews has now become a reality for us. I remember the night Andrew and I started discussing this. I never doubted him (as some folks did) and I stuck by him through all of our planning and many nights making sure things were going to be :just right: for us to make it or break it. So I started designing a brochure with Andrew by my side to "tweak" it. We then had PILES of these printed and distributed/broadcasted.
Andrew set a goal for this year and that was to have 50 customers (with this being our first year). End the end, we ended up with a total of 85 customers! We were both very excited and have enjoyed every minute of everyday.
We sure have had many of double dates through this, making sure things were lined up in accordance for our partners in this- Rob Glover and Courtney Barbour. Thank you so much Rob (our farmer) & Courtney (his amazing girlfriend)! We couldn't have made yesterday go perfect without the help of you guys!

So after a L O N G day yesterday it was nice to still be able to sit on the porch and enjoy watching the sunset while gazing at each other with a smile on our face knowing that a simple vision can be an utter reality!

A night on the town

After finishing one of two online Medical Terminology II test's online I figured Id just take a brief minute to type.
After all school has gotten the best of me right now and my nerves- Never believed in a "chill pill" before now! Whew! Although I am really pleased with my grades, it has taken alot of hard work..

Tonight I am just so excited to finally be going on a double date to PF Chang! Andrew and I need some time away from school, studying and the ordinary lifestyle- A night to relax and enjoy the company of others. Im sure right about now the dog and cat are extremely tired of me reading my A&P II final review over and OVER to them! =) Ive enjoyed it.. I dont know about them. Gracie smiles, so I guess she likes it!

On the other hand, I am getting so excited about going to Key West I dont know what to do with myself! I have started working extra hours at work to stash back some [play-time] money* Ive heard about a Jet-ski tour around all of the islands in the Keys (3-4 hours). I believe that is something WE WILL be doing. Ive heard it is beautiful and undescribable!

I guess that means I need to get my rear in gear and get to the Planet Fitness and tone up and tan hard-- Thanks to my mom! She is the best.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
