Strawberry fields forever

Today started with a sweaty hour at the gym which always is a good way to start the day. 

My sis picked me up and we met up with Dana, Blake and Bryce for lunch at Chik-fil-a, yum yum. Did I mention these kids are crazy? Haha

Dana and Bryce went their seperate ways but Blake joined us to go pick strawberries. We went out to Wadmalaw to Ambrose Family Farms for picking. I will say this time they were not as big or as red as the last time but we still enjoyed getting the best ones we could find. 

Here's a pic of our dirty feet look at the pic below and you will see how dirty they truly were. 

The kids got to enjoy a tireswing for a bit before we left. I remember as a kid I loved those things. I was always on The ones at the playground in our neighborhood! Poor Kelly was always having to push me haha 

We met a horse on our way out the farm. The kids loved it, I watched from the car because the AC just felt too dang good to leave it. 

See!!!! Gross!!! Showered as soon as I got home. 

Shannon and I both got this shirt. This is the back which I loved and the front has the farms logo. I like getting to support a local farm and I did truly love the shirt. That is a win win in my book. 

Hopefully next time the strawberries will be less picked over but either way we know we will have fun!

Downtown stroll

Yesterday afternoon was absolutely gorgeous and I knew I needed to go walk downtown. Dave surprised me and said he was coming to hang out so he got to go with me. Since he is still semi new to Charleston he had never been down here to explore. First stop was the battery and white point gardens where they are doing some construction but still pretty. 

Rainbow Row on the way to waterfront park

He asked me if this is like where spongebob lives haha silly boy 

I absolutely love this picture, it turned out amazing! The coloring is perfect thanks to the sun setting. 

Someone desperately had to potty and these happened to be around the corner! I wouldn't use these but I guess guys don't care. 

Someone found me a pretty flower to naturally I got my picture with it. 

Being silly with the cannons at White Point Gardens we like to have fun! 

The sunset and the palm trees make me happy I absolutely LOVE it! 

It was the perfect afternoon and I love creating great memories. 

Also, My fitbit tracked a TON of extra steps thanks to our walk. I am slightly (not so slightly) obsessed with my steps each day so I loved seeing it say over 13,000 steps!! Woop woop!!!

MB for the day

Saturday morning started a bit early, like 6:15am for me. I only wake up early on weekends for the fun stuff and this was one of those days. Me, mom, Shannon, Izzy and Dave all packed in the suburban and headed to Myrtle Beach. We always love a day trip to MB and Dave had never been so it was bound to be a good time. 

Izzy and I taking a silly picture

Dave took himself a nap there annnnnd on the way home! Sleepy boy! 

We got there and headed straight to the 501 Tanger outlets for some shopping! Dave and I both got shoes for a good deal and some great deals at American Eagle. Shannon and mom got some deals too! 

After that we had lunch then headed to the Ripleys Aquarium at Broadway at the beach. We had not been in years and Daves first visit. We got in for quite cheap with his military discount so that was definitely a plus. 

I love this picture <3 

First we saw the mermaid show. I was not impressed but of course kids would think it was amazing. 

We played around and took quite a bit more pictures you can see here! 

This is always my favorite, the sea turtle 

This boy makes me so darn happy! 

While Mom, Shannon and Izzy finished up in the Aquarium Dave and I headed outside to look around. 

We didn't go very far but we saw Margaritaville and went in a novelty shop. 

We headed back home shortly after. Mom wanted to stop at Tractor Supply and look what we saw! Baby chicks!!! They were so cute and tiny! 

We were beat after a long fun day and definitely chilled the rest of the eveninh when we got home. 

Today was pretty lazy for the most part besides a trip to the gym this morning and cleaning my room a bit this evening. 

Hope yall had a wonderful weekend as well

Folly Friday

Today was such a beautiful day so Dave and I decided to walk on the beach after work. This was his first time at the end of Folly seeing the Morris Island Lighthouse. This happens to be one of my favorite spots in Charleston. The view never disappoints that's for sure! 

It was Teddys first time out at the beach

We found this crab someone set up! Haha how funny is this, I had to take a pic! 

I definitely want to spend more time out there next time and maybe even look for some shells. Plenty more opportunities this summer to do that!

Queso? Yes please!

After work yesterday I went to an Orthopedic Dr about my ankle that won't stop swelling. Basically she wants me to wear an ankle brace as much as I can, do PT, and pray that works. If that plan of action doesn't work then off for an MRI to check out the tendons and pray they aren't torn. If they are then that means surgery. Um no thank you!! I am praying PT, the brace and less intense workouts for awhile will help it heal and I won't need any surgery! 

I skipped the gym to go see my aunt who has been recovering from cancer treatments and my grammy! We sat in the backyard for a good hour just chatting and enjoy the weather. I love this time of year when it's not hot or cold outside. Honestly it was perfect!!! 

I called my sister Shannon to see if her and the girls wanted to go have some mexican food for dinner and luckily they said yes. I have been craving this for awhile but never go for some reason. 

We sat outside because it was so nice and their patio area really was kinda cool the way the had it decorated. 

There was an old looking wagon that I took Izzys pic in front of. I figured that was very fitting since she had on her cowgirl boots. 

I also had a HUGEEEE margarita on the rocks. I didn't drink it all because I started to feel a little tipsy from it. Note: I hardly ever drink liquor anymore only beer so that's why it was hitting me a little quickly. 

We all really enjoyed our dinner and time together especially when it means hot fudge sundaes from McDonalds after :) yum yum!

Misty got skillz

Let me just say it has been well over a year since I have had my hair done by a professional. My friend Shannon has been coloring and cutting my hair for so long but with being busy it was easier to just make an appointment with my friend Misty and get it done! My hair feels so healthy since it had not been cut in awhile. It is amazing how cutting some hair can completely change how your hair feels overall. 

Misty moved to Hipp Salon in West Ashley and this was my first time going there. I loved the decor it was very pretty and girly. 

Now this contraltion was just interesting! It is a hair dryer and circles around your head. I will say though I felt zero heat from it so that was quite nice! 

Misty did such a good job with the color. It is subtle and pretty which is what I wanted. I didn't want some bam in your face highlights!

I am happy and I feel pretty :) win win haha
