Lovin The Good Life...

We love South Carolina! The are so many amazing things to do here; fish, kayak, go to the beach, enjoy the local way of life. Its pretty wonderful. That being said... I have a rant or five. The state bird of SC should be the mosquito! I kid you not they are everywhere! But they aren't what is bad, the worst things here are these little flying demons called nats I am sure they have some cool scientific name but i don't know it nor do i care what it is. All you need to know is they are Satan's minons sent here to drive us crazy till we do evils things, like punch children and kill small animals. Other interesting SC wildlife fact is... I have discovered  raccoons like dog food.... anyone wondering how i know this? The answer my adorable friends is that raccoons ripped apart the screen door on my patio and opened the drawer containing 30 pounds of said dog food and ate it... ALL! To my beloved friends and family in Utah, I am aware we have raccoons there but they are not the size of a small horse or a large dog. and they do not rip apart your patio for dog food.OK that is that. Now on to happier/funnier news. We have a Mocking Bird nesting in a tree outside our house and i love listening to it through out the day is sings so pretty. If you notice a pattern here its because SC is so full of crazy awesome creatures! Zack always jokes that the outside of our house sounds like the indoor bird rooms that all zoos seem to have, where you have 8 millions birds making noise plus the wildlife sound track they play in the back ground. Its pretty amazing. Minus the nats and mosquitoes we are for sure livin' and lovin' the good life!

For those of you interested in what Zack is up to. He is has taken up kayak fishing. I swear the love of my life cant just have a cheap hobby! lol. Thats alright though he really likes it and keeps him happy and busy on the weekends. Kayak $250. Seat $140. Racks for the car $200. Having happy husband... Priceless! He still likes his job most of the time but gets sick of the politics of the Marine Corps,all of you Marine wifes know exactly what I'm talking bout! I told him almost any job had politics, I don't know if that encouraged or discouraged him. Zack is finally able to ride his motorcycle! Its a very happy day for both of us, we missed ridding the bike everywhere!

I am so delighted I get to go home to Utah in just 9 days for my baby sisters graduation! I cant believe that she is graduating. While I am home I get to go to Zack's sister graduation also and I get to see the best in-laws in the world. I am so lucky that i was blessed with in-laws that are sane in all the right ways and crazy in the all the other best ways. I have put several new things on cpjewelery.com if your interested! I have to admit I am getting slightly discouraged with my website, its not doing well. People tell me all the time how pretty my stuff is and how they love it and want to buy it and yet I just cant seem to sell it. I have even lowered lots of my prices. Little bit frustrating that is for sure.

Thats about all for right now. I'd love any feed back you guys have for me about my website, good or bad.
