Scott and I took advantage of some beautiful weather and had a beach day. While we were there, we could see something on the beach. We walked down to check it out and saw a hammerhead shark washed up. It drew quite the crowd. Monday, we had a light schedule at work so I took the day off to enjoy…
Scott and I took the early ferry over to Ft Fisher to do some kayaking around Zeke’s Island. It started off a little cloudy and windy but after a brief rain shower, the wind died down and the sun came out. We were also able to watch a large ship pass by while we were out there. It was neat…
The second annual adult field day took place this weekend at Nicole and Kim’s house. We had perfect weather despite a pre event downpour. This year we had 3 teams.

For my birthday, Scott bought me a new kayak. He did some research on it and found out it was supposed to be super stable and very comfortable.

Southport had their Firefighters competition also. We…
We took off to the mountains for the week to spend time with some friends at Eileen’s Cabansion. Dina and Mike met us up there and eventually, their daughter Danielle and her kids did too.

For my birthday, we went to dinner at the Mexican restaurant with some friends. It was a pretty low key birthday. When I got to work in the morning I was quite surprised to find my “parking spot” was decorated for me. My sweet friend Chelsea decorated it the night before.
