St. Simons Island Pictures....finally.

Patrick and I enjoyed a little vacation the second week of April to St. Simons Island.
Basically just a little beach town on coastal Ga.....
The sky looked like this for the first two days....seriously. You can see you busy the beach is....just one poor guy walking alone. It was freezing!!!!!
View from the pier in the main village- You can watch people "crabbing" and fishing!

Part of our room at the King and Prince....

If you ever stay there, they have great breakfast!!!!

Fort Frederica- one of the original establishments on St.Simons Island.

Patrick in front of the actual fort building....

Hanging out on the walkway above the beach on our last day-

You can see that the weather definately improved!!!!!



A picture to prove the weather actually cleared up......from our balcony.

Interesting whale sculpture near the village......


St. Simons Lighthouse


We made it to the top of the lighthouse!

Fun, but very windy and a little scary to try to take a picture together!!!!

Neato

My aunt emailed me this story- she was featured in a local newspaper about my grandparents...

Patrick and I at our wedding reception- my aunt presented us with the book she created with all the letters......I was very proud to have all of the Legard children there for our wedding. From the left, my mom, uncle Bill, Aunt Legard, her husband Hank, and uncle Richard.



Aunt Legard also presented me with some army pins that my grandmother wore during her service and I thought this was a neat picture with our rings.

Quick Update!

So it has definately been a long, long, long time since I've updated my blog!!! Hopefully this will not happen again :)

I'm at work right now, so I can't add any pictures, but I promise to add some sooner than later! We've definately been busy the last month and a half- we vacationed to St. Simons Island and celebrated our second wedding anniversary, I've been on Peds ID and NICU the last two months and we've been working on a few other projects as well.... Anyway, look for new pictures soon! I promise!

New Haircut!

I finally got a haircut- last one was in December! I told my hairstylist that she could do something " a little different" and I really like it. It is sort of long in the front......

and short in the back! It isn't actually uneven like it looks in this picture! I hope my hairdryer and flat iron can help me keep it looking good! I had sort of regressed in the hair department the last two months!

I've been tagged!

So my friend Jessica tagged me to post 10 random facts, habits, goals or quirks about myself....At the end I have tagged the lucky few to post their own top ten!

1. I am very loud. So loud in fact, that I was accused of messing up the dictation line at work b/c they thought it was a prank. When I am tired, upset, excited or speaking through a translator I only become louder. Clearly I didn't get the whole "inside voice thing"

2. I have horrible vision. I'm just glad I can still get contacts. My vision is so bad that they can't correct it perfectly- seriously.

3. If I didn't have my current career- I would be either a personal trainer or a nutritionist, or a child life specialist...unfortunately i have trapped myself into working 90 hours a week and thinking that working 14 days straight is "normal".

4. The first three letters of both my first and last name are M-A-R. weird.

5. I don't really watch network TV other than the Biggest Loser. I don't really have time or care about any shows that require me to pay attention to the storyline. So if you are talking about the latest episode of "Lost" , I'm literally lost.

6. I love to bake desserts but I really don't care to cook.

7 . I let my clothes build up until I have nothing to wear, then I wash them all, but don't have time to put them away, so they end up in the guest bedroom. This has become a vicious cycle during the last three months with PICU-Wards-Wards back to back. I need a normal schedule. Or a maid.

8. I have to have at least two different kinds of shampoo in my shower at all times. i'm not really picky about the brand, one of them has to be for extra moisturizing, and the other is for deep cleaning.

9. I love coupon clipping. If i had time we would save even more, but I really get excited when we get $10 off our total at the store.

10. I recently finished couch to 5K and now can run at least 30 minutes at a time with minimal suffering. Hopefully this will continue to improve. This accomplishment is all thanks to my ipod. I That was the best christmas present ever!
