the BEST Caddy

Today we took a short trip to Cimarrone Golf Club for Cordie to play golf and spend some one on one time together outside of the house! It was gorgeous outside-hot as it was in the middle of the day, but perfect as there were not many other people out playing. I have yet to try and achieve the ‘golf’ game so I thoroughly enjoy driving my hus around on the golf cart and being his favorite caddy.

Below are just a few more shots I took while enjoying the sunshine.

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful summer as well where ever you may be!

the STRANGEST friends

As some of you saw on Instagram last week I had the opportunity to sit and watch these two hang out with one another for quite awhile. And no need to worry, there are no ‘parents’ lurking in the background as once alligators reach a certain length (this one was way past it even for a little guy) they venture out into the wilderness on their own. It was fun to sit by the pool and have a little entertainment from the ‘pond’.

The above are them ‘approaching’ our area…. the following was humorous to watch and we kept wondering why they had come so close, until we threw a piece of ice into the water and they both swam very quickly to it…realizing that they must be used to people feeding them… not a good sign if the gators in the area have been feed by people…then they are not as hesitant to approach them.

We have seen a total of 3 alligators in three different places of only being here just over a week… is quite exciting but nerve racking walking around certain places also.

Enjoy your weekend!

Our new HOME

Ponte Vedra

We are staying in a condo for the months of August and September hoping to decide where what area of Jacksonville we would like to live more long-term. The condo is in a gated community south of Jacksonville Beach in an area known as Ponte Vedra. Below are some pictures of our lovely little home & above is the condo and the immediate area around us.

Our front door is painted the same burnt orangish/red on both sides and we LOVE it. The one of the best things about this rental is that it did come fully furnished and the colors of the furniture and decor blend nicely throughout the whole house.

It has a very ‘coast/beach’ feel to which is great and what we both truly love.

We love all the natural light as you can see there are very high windows in almost every room and the white walls make the place very bright.

We loove love love our kitchen! It is very open looking over the dining area and has perfect lighting and a great setup. Below are pictures of another room we have labeled as a ‘lounge’ the couches are not the most comfortable but turns into another bed if we were to have more than just a few guests visiting there would be plenty of room!

Our bedroom: Speaks for itself with a nice king size bed and the same high windows, with a large closet, and another matching circular mirror to ‘match’ the rest of the place. We truly are blessed to be able to travel and live and be during this time in our lives and marriage.

Below are pictures of our second bedroom (as you can see with the twins and stuffed animals most likely for children) however it is very nice as it has its own bathroom and another large closet.

Living here has sure made us continue to dream about what we want our home to look like someday!

Alligators

We are absolutely in ❤with our condo for the next couple of months (was a great idea to try somewhere out before deciding where we want to stay long term). However, our first day we walked down to the beach (takes 5 mins) and noticed that to get there we have to walk over a marsh or swamp like body of water-not a fan.
There is a sign that says ‘watch out for alligators and snakes’ which we noticed when we came across a very awkward raccoon quietly walking over the boardwalk bridge our first evening…

Not expecting too see any alligators for quite awhile after living here you can see from above that we did come across one our third day here. It is much closer to the path than the picture does justice. And we both no longer walk across the bridge but rather stay in the street.

Delayed.

Hey there everyone! We have arrived in Ponte Vedra, Florida and are loving it! However, my computer broke and will no longer turn on-with that said blog post will be few (as I can use my husbands when he isn’t working) and details of where we are will be later than desired due to not having a computer.

Apologies & Take Care
