The Birthday Week

October 11 - 16

Well this was one of those "milestone" birthdays for me...30...I mean 40...OK 50! Whew, that sounds a lot worse than it feels thankfully! In spite of my sisters being absent for first time in 7 years :( it was a beautiful week with my wonderful husband.



Our first order of business was to take care of the bow thrust, so off to Barber Marina she went! She spent the night in a sling and repairs were taken care of the following day.
Barber Marina is a beautiful place, the grounds are well maintained and very nice. However, if you are attempting to get there by car it can be a little time consuming. I'll just say they are very well tucked away!



Wow she looks so little!

patiently waiting for service

Whoo Hoo! Back in the water and back to the Wharf we go!


Our very own dinghy



October 15th
On Saturday the Reed clan came aboard for a little cruise.


While we were anchored out for the day Cody took Seth & Aidan for a little excursion to one of the small islands. The boys were able to run around a bit to use up a little energy!

Bailey's turn for a little adventure, it sure makes our hearts happy to see her radiant smile!


Brooke & Cody introduced us to ribeye sausage....yum yum ;)

The newlyweds...

While the boys were on their excursion we tried to catch the "BIG ONE"...oh well, it was a good thing that Cody & Brooke provided steaks for everyone!

The anxiety level was slightly elevated as Bailey was transferred into the dinghy but with Mom at her side all was well.

Isn't she adorable?!?!



Our turn to take the dinghy for a ride :)

Cody was itching to get at the helm!


I love love love my daughter-in-law

Taking us home! Just a little different than driving a bass boat Cody!!!

hey I thought I was the one with the camera!

the other newlyweds ;)

We enjoyed the evening ride back to the marina...just felt a bit strange that neither of us were at the helm, but we were in good hands to say the least!

Another gorgeous sunset on the canal


So we arrive at the Wharf and my darling husband/Captain Jimmy tucks us back into the slip for the evening...steak & potatoes are consumed with pleasure!


What a great day, the kiddos are mellow and ready to head back to the condo...Jimmy and I are ready for a little Grand Marnier and time to reflect on our day....

October 16th...

Another sweet surprise! I am married to a wonderful man!
Nothing like walking in to the condo to hear the kids singing happy birthday.

We were not only celebrating my birthday but it was also the anniversary of our decision to begin our relationship. So many great memories in one short year!
