Coffee Talk Mondays

Coffee Talk Mondays

I have to admit that this past week wasn’t very eventful. HA! I spent my days working on business tasks (blogging, emails, album design) as well as personal-life tasks like working out and home chores. It was also a challenging week because Alex is working long 13-hour shifts, 6-days a week! Whew! He’s Superman. šŸ™‚ But I cannot wait for this rotation to end next Monday so I can see my hubby again! My morning routine is so whacky now, but I’m giving myself grace during this season before things really pick up later this year. šŸ™‚

BEACH LIFE

Now that the Florida beaches are open, I’m seeing more tourists in the area, but I’ve been managing to find my own personal beach spot. šŸ™‚ Not so bad!! We had a couple of chilly beach days but yesterday was PERFECT. I’m trying to soak as much of this as I can before we move to our next station next year … and before wedding season picks up in July. šŸ™‚

CINCO DE MAYO

One of my FAVORITE days! Who doesn’t love Mexican food? I have my MIL to thank for these taco socks. HAHA! She got a pair for us after our proposal. šŸ™‚
