Updates and an early Happy New Years!

Been a busy couple of weeks traveling from Florida to Knoxville to Dubuque, Iowa and back again. Right now we are in Knoxville and will travel back to Florida this coming weekend. It was great to see family in Iowa. We also stayed at an amazing inn called the Hancock House in Dubuque. Catching up with some friends before we head back. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and Happy New Years!

Happy Birthday Andy!

Happy Birthday to my husband!

I am so lucky to have met you and proud to call myself your wife. I love you!

Thanksgiving Travels

So happy to see my mom and dad!

So for Thanksgiving we left Panama City Beach, Florida and drove to Knoxville, TN to spend Thanksgiving with Andy's family. Friday we drove up to Carmel, Indiana for my best friend's wedding. She was an absolutely gorgeous bride and my parents drove in for the ceremony. Mom and I got down on the dance floor. Sunday came too soon and we drove back to Knoxville to spend a little more time with Andy's parents and then the final drive back to PCB on Monday. Andy was ready for the driving to be over since he did all of it!

Tybee's Closet

Tybee went to the groomer and got a pretty scarf!

For the cold weather soon to come he got a vest with a removable hood.

Arrh! He picked out his Halloween costume.

Looking a little drunk.

And last his polo to be just like his daddy!

A Sunday Drive in October

Today we decided to take a Sunday drive along the coast with Tybee. He loves to go driving with us. We stopped by Seaside to take a walk and Tybee met 2 great Danes (one of them was 160lbs!) I wish I had taken a picture of them - I think Tybee was the size of their heads but they were very friendly. Later Andy and I walked down to the beach and watched the sun go down as we drank some yummy wine - the perfect way to end a gorgeous day!

Beautiful beaches!

He heard me take his photo!

Visitors in September

We tried to get a picture of the sunset but alas we missed it!

My little sister and my mommy

So we had several visitors in September... My mom and sister visited Labor Day weekend. It was mom's first visit to the Gulf and she loved the white sand. The night my sister flew into town, we went for a walk down on the beach and had stingrays gliding by in the water 2 feet from our feet! It was great to have them and maybe next time dad can come too. Then two weeks later Andy's mom and sister visit. Lots of time on the beach with a little bit of rain in between. They happened to come during bike week but the bikers have been very polite. Who's next to visit?

Tybee's Wardrobe

So Old Navy carries a line of dog items including polos, rain jackets and Halloween costumes so I thought we would take Tybee and have him try a couple on...

This is Tybee the pirate - arrrrrrhhh!

Tybee the pumpkin...

Couldn't get him to look at the camera

I wanted to get him a polo but the only one they had in his size was pink and I couldn't do that to my boy.

Busy Week

Sorry it has been a while since I have written, lots going on...
- My best friend Maegen came down last weekend to visit (it was her bachelorette weekend since I won't be able to throw her one in Indiana before the wedding - I am her matron of honor). We hit the spa, the beach and several restaurants and had a great time. Thankfully her flight made it out of town before the tropical storm hit.
- Tybee got neutured on Tuesday. I was a nervous mama the whole day and was so happy when we got to pick him up. He was his normal hyper self in a couple of days.
- I got a part-time job at Old Navy where I work about 20ish hours a week and Andy appreciates the discount at Gap.
- I joined a tennis team and we have our first match Tuesday. I am the youngest player by 10 years and the oldest is in her 60s! They are great ladies and I hope we do well this season.
- Mom and Kristin are coming to visit Labor Day weekend and I can't wait - hope Andy can handle the Snyder girls!

Hope everyone is doing well! I promise pictures next time...

Our new home in Panama City Beach, Florida

So we are finally in our new apartment in PCB, Florida. It is a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom in an apartment complex. We've got a screened in porch and sit right next to the sand volleyball court. We have a nice grassy courtyard outside for Tybee to run around in. We have no real furniture right now... still waiting on the moving truck to show up. Oh well, an air mattress and fold out chair work just fine. Who wants to be the first to visit?

More pictures to follow...

Our Honeymoon

Andy and I headed to Tybee Island, Georgia for our honeymoon. While there, we relaxed by the pool, took walks on the beach, toured the lighthouse, went on a dolphin tour and ate at several wonderful restaurants - the Hunter House creme brule was AMAZING. We spent two days walking around Savannah and took a tour to learn its history. At the recommendation of the best man, Ryan, we headed to his old stomping grounds Charleston, S.C. We ate at another amazing restaurant called Carolinas - my first five course meal - delicious!!!! The following day we took a horse drawn carriage ride to see the sites. After that we drove to see mom and dad Snyder in NC since we probably won't get to see them in NC for a while with the big move to Florida looming in our future. Today we hit the road after a long walk and got back to Knoxville around 6pm so that I can get to work at 6am tomorrow morning. So glad to be home!
