summer time!

a picture of madison and i on the way home from the beach.
the water was infested with jellyfish. thank goodness i didn't get stung.

we got vip status with an umbrella and chairs to lay out on.
it was HOT and i could feel the burn as soon as we got there.
i got to hang out with a few new people who were all pretty nice and fun.

i think i'm really starting to feel the burn in this picture! haha


soo say hello to my "new life."
i started training for my new job and monday and signed up for my benefits today.
it felt so adult and strange to me, especially when they started discussing life insurance.
i am super excited for my new job. it means more pay, PLUS i will get incentive bonuses. it also means i will have to take on more responsibility which i think i definitely need in my life.
tomorrow i'll go in and probably start off doing the same thing i have been for the last few months before i start learning the tricks of the trade. OH WELL. still excited to learn something new and getting that pretty little paycheck at the end of the month!

but as i'm writing about responsibility i am trying to avoid the ones i have around the house by writing this post. ha!

1s and 2s

he was happy to find someone as wild and crazy as he is.

in other news, i start my new job on August 4th!
i'm excited for the bigger paychecks and the feeling of permanency.
i've been trying really, really hard to be more responsible as of late and i can see some positive changes.
the next few months to come are going to be life altering, in a good way, i can feel it.

p.s.
because i am so NICE i decided not to post any pictures without travis' permission.

nintendo no friendo

as you requested, mo.
rambo has started trying to bite mario when he jumps in the air.
he's always by my side while i play intently staring at the game.
i didn't even try to pose brain dead with mouth hanging open.
