I know it has been forever since I have wrote on here. I just can't seem to find the time between facebook, email, going to the gym, work, etc, etc, etc. So since July let's see....what have we been doing??? Well, for our 11 year anniversary James took me to St. Augustine on the Atlantic side of Florida just south of Jacksonville. We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast which I've always wanted to do but have always been hesitant about. I LOVED IT!!! It was amazing. The city is very old and has lot's of little streets with shops and restaurants tucked away everywhere. The B&B was just amazing. I'll post a few pictures. The innkeepers were so friendly and we sat on the porch overlooking the water every morning for breakfast and it was just wonderful.
August so far has been busy but pretty uneventful. We had a water leak in our new house which is always fun. It spread into another bedroom and surrounding closets, so they had to come and repair a bunch of stuff this whole month. But, finally after A LOT of headache, that is fixed as of yesterday and everything is back together.
The most exciting thing this month is that as of this Wednesday I'm off for about 9-10 days and my dad is coming to visit from WV. I pick him up from the airport this Thursday. I'm SO excited. We have lived down here for 2 1/2 years and this will be his first visit. My mom came in May so it will be nice to take my dad around and do some things. He will be here for about a week. The only bad thing is my mom had great weather in May and my dad...well this time of year from July until September is just HOT!!!!!
That is all that is going on with the Fike's :) We are looking forward to going home in October. My brother Matt is getting married. This is the first time since we have been married that we haven't been home since Christmas. That is the only hard thing about living in Flordia. I wish we were closer to family. When we were in Baltimore we at least went home 4-5 maybe 6 times a year. Now it's seems 2 maybe 3 if there are weddings. Last year we went home for Jason's wedding and this year Matt's. I can't believe we are all married...well soon to be, and we all have been married in birth order. First me , then Jason and now Matt. I thought that was interesting. How time flies!!!
