Its Just Beachy!!!

Both Tim and I are really excited about our upcoming vacation to the Cayman Islands. We both cannot believe that it has been almost a full year since we've been to the beach - work really does take its toll on you! We are really excited to be spending the week before our 1 year anniversary on Grand Cayman's 7-mile beach! (July 25 - Aug 1)

We cannot wait to go snorkeling, visit Sting Ray City and go shopping at Kirk's Freeport!!! But, most of all we're excited that we get to get out of the country and kick up our heels to relax.

Although Tim is a frequent of the island - this is my first trip to Cayman. I am looking forward to every minute of the week. We will post pictures when we return!!!

Our NEW Deck

In the past few months...

So we've been really bad about keeping our blog updated and have set aside a block of time each week to keep this going.

Since our last post a lot has changed. Let us list the changes and we will also post some pictures.

1) Jamie got a new job!! YaY - Jamie is now working at Moroch Partners, a privately-held advertising agency here in Dallas. She has been with them since April 6 and is loving her new position as Assistant Account Executive in account services on the Midas team. Yes - you can sing the tune - "Thats the Midas touch!"

2) The Worflars came down and built us a deck! Dennis and Jason worked with Tim to build a beautiful deck in our back yard. We now have a great place for entertaining.

3) Tim celebrated his 1 year anniversary at Accenture!! Since he was there a full year, he was able to attend a training session in St. Charles, Illinois and had a boys weekend in Chicago with his co-workers following the week-long training session.

4) Jamie won an i-pod shuffle at the grand re-opening of Tom Thumb in Snyder Plaza here in Dallas. She only stopped in to pick up Tim's favorite popcorn since we had run out and somehow managed to be one of the few winners of the day.

5) Jamie has become a provisional member of the Junior League of Dallas and will soon be attending meetings and charity commitments. In addition, she is also a member of Slipper Club.

6) Father's Day was a very exciting day for the both of us. While Jamie was wishing her grandfather a happy father's day - the house phone ran (no one really knows this number) and Tim took a message for Jamie to call the person back. Little did we know at the time - it was Jackson's Nursery and Garden Center calling to inform Jamie that she had won a BIG GREEN EGG! For those of you who don't know what this is - it is the BEST grill/smoker/oven/do everything in the world. Jamie had put our name in a drawing a few weeks before when her parents were visiting and had forgotten all about it! It was a wonderful Father's day for Tim!!!

7) Finally - Jamie got a new car. Since we are homeowners and have things to do around the house and store and shuttle large things, we were in need of an SUV. So on June 29, Tim and Jamie purchased a Lexus RX!!

Those are quite a few updates and I'm sure there is tons more to talk about, but this is just a few larger things going on in our lives!
