Where's Abby (+ Dylan and dogs)

Happy 1st of September and Labor Day, friends!  The last couple of weeks have been filled with greatness liiiike... Lots of fun with this guy... Two half days at work very well spent. On Wednesday, Nick and I had planned to paddle board but a date mix-up led us to a Fish Fry  Grill with his team, hosted by his generous sponsor parents. They grilled up a portion of their 200lbs of personally caught Alaskan salmon and halibut. Fantastic. If only we hadn't just indulged in some deliciously filling MShack burgers, I would've enjoyed it even more! It was like an excited lightbulb went off in my stomach when I finally became hungry enough to eat it.  We spent the next day paddle boarding, Lemon Barring, and stumbling in on a Sam Hunt concert at Mavericks . The end of the night transformed from a unique situation into a fun, exciting and strangely romantic night.  An incredibly enjoyable time at a concert with Neighbor John and Leslie, cu...

I've been waiting for the go ahead to post this for like a week now because of some exciting news I include. It's been a good couple of weeks in the world of Abby.

It looked like she used the jewels preteens use to bedazzle their cell phones for a chest decoration. We said these two probably "came to Reggae Sunday 20 years ago and never left." We're such "consistent smilers."  Will and I had a Cute Niece Contest. Adaleigh won with a forfeit after one video of the precious angel baby's smiles.  A surprise birthday dinner to celebrate Mr. Chad Baker. I've been back in Jax for like 10 months now and had probs only seen the ki...

Thanks to a new friend, Charlie, I got to go to the Tampa Bay Rays' playoff game last night! I thought it was my first pro game but apparently the Jacksonville Suns count. I, of course, had to partake in the traditional baseball festivities, indulging in Cracker Jacks, nachos, AND a hotdog. Yeah. Kinda cancelled out my paleo breakfast and lunch.                                                        Favorite things about the night?                             1. Getting the best mahi mahi sandwich ever and drinks before the game              2. The crazy fans we had surrounding us, making it even more entertaining, a little risque, and quite                             ...
