No. INTERNET! :(

So we lost power a week ago for about 5 days... This caused our wireless internet to go out!! I haven't been able to skype, Facebook, YouTube or anything for a week!! And honestly.. It has been amazing. I have loved the break from cyberworld! (but take my phone or texting away and I'll hunt you down!)
I still don't have Internet so I'm just posting from my phone cause I have wanted to update or write something!

So here is a little recap...
1. I got thrown off a jetski and screwed up my neck (you can thank B for that one... I still love you bubba. Even if you are adopted)
2. I got super super sick and couldn't keep any food down because I was dehydrated. Basically I was working to hard... Surprise surprise
3. Lost a very dear family friend due to a tragic accident :(
4. Lost Internet due to crazy storms (which I LOVED by the way)
5. we gained a new dog for a couple weeks! B&C had to let us keep baby Roxy for a little while.
6. Went bowling... I still suck at that game.
7. Been a workaholic like usual!

So with everything going on I missed a few blogs! Hopefully Internet will be back up soon and I will post about my trip to the lost magical place in the world :)

Love love love

I then have Friday and Saturday off for Fathers Day.... well I am teaching 2 private lessons!
BUSY BUSY!!!!
As much as I love my job (which is a TON!!!) I am glad I get a couple days off to catch my breath.

This weekend is gonna be a good one :) Tonight we are going to Concerts in the Garden. It is basically like a big picnic with music playing each night. Tonight is the Beach Boys music :)
I love it!! I grew up going to these every summer since I was born. I love going back each summer.... it is so relaxing and so much fun.
I love being home for the summer :)

Time to go soak an a bath of aloe... I am burnt to a crisp!!

Long time no see...

oh my goodness! It has been SOOO long since I have done a post. I have missed it a whole lot! I will start doing more and more I promise!
I have done so much in the past month....

Finished school (all A's and B's!)
Been to Disney World and had the TIME OF MY LIFE!
Been teaching private swim lessons
and being a workaholic like usual :)

Life has been pretty busy but I am loving it!!

A day for me is like this:

wake up and teach a 9:00 lesson
Teach lessons at 9:30, 10:00 and 10:30
Go into work around 12 and while at work do scheduling, payroll, and many other things (dealing with an old pool usually keeps me busy!)
then Group swim lessons start at 5:00. As the swim director this requires me to go around and make sure each class is going properly and smoothly and the children are paying attention and the teachers are on track for the day.
then at 5:45 I coach kids in swim team and help them perfect their strokes.
then at 7:00 I teach water aerobics then I have another private lesson at 7:45

BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!! But I absolutely LOVE it! Loving your job make it easy to get up!

That schedule changes every week but its usually 8:00am to 8:00 pm of total pool work!

So... a couple weeks ago I went to Disney World for my 21st Birthday! I had SOO much fun! Seeing Mickey, Minnie, Goofy (aka DAD!) and all the other princesses just made me so happy!
