O'Doherty Wedding

We have had a busy past few days....

We started this adventure by taking our first married couple airplane ride!



As you can tell Scott was really excited to be flying with his wife.

We had a great weekend with friends and family back in Michigan for Cody and Pete's wedding. It was great to just relax and not have to worry about talking to everyone. It is a totally different experience when you are not the ones getting married. As many of you know Scott had a little too much to drink and made friends with the toilet Sunday morning. We are pretty sure he learned his lesson...hopefully anyways!



The weekend was WAY to short and went by WAY too fast. It was also nice to get away from the 100 degree Florida weather for a few days. We can't wait to see everyone again.

After the wonderful weekend in Michigan Scott's mom and Mrs. Hengesbaugh came to visit. They were Monday through Thursday. We went to the beach and the Magic Kingdom. We all ate a feast in the old west and the Disney's fireworks display is just as good with it is raining out.

Working Nights

We have had a bit of a different week so far. Scott worked nights this week because they were doing field work at Disney. Disney will only let them work at night because they do not want the guests to see the workers. So...he has been going in at 10 PM and getting home around 4 AM. It has been really nice seeing him during the day :)

We have also taken advantage of him being home during the day (and our Disney passes). Tuesday we decided to pack a backpack and go to Hollywood Disney. We went for a few hours and saw a few shows. It was nice to be able to go there later in the day and only for a few hours. We didn't even see everything but that is ok because "we can always go back" as Scott says.

We also decided that August in FL is NOT the best month. The weather and heat were not bad June and July but August is another story. It has been over 100 the past few days and the humidity is just horrible. Needless to say we can't wait to get a heat break next weekend :)

We are looking forward to our vacation next week (that is odd that we vacation to MI now)!!!

Nuts and Bolts.....We Got Screwed

Where do we start.....

The weekend started off VERY sour. The cash of "classics" took a turn for the worst and we have the Mountaineer back :( Sad but true :( The dealer did not put the customer first (to say the least)! The dealer told us our cash for clunker was good to go when we bought the car and a week later when they couldn't get their money from the government gave us the ultimatum - bring it back and negotiate OR have it repossessed. We took it back, said "screw you" and have the old boy back. Friday night was not a happy night in the Baker household.

Still furious about the situation we have come to realize things happen for a reason and maybe one day we will realize why we were not meant to have the Patriot. We for sure will NOT be purchasing our next car from that dealership and we will do everything in our power to have no one else purchase from there. They lost a sale and a good customer!

After all that we were looking forward to a nice Saturday and Sunday at the beach with friends. We headed to Melbourne Saturday morning to soak up some good weather (it was about 95 and NO rain). A group of our friends rented rooms at a hotel but we decided to save money and get a camp site near by (We all know Kym is not much of a camper so when she volunteered this Scott jumped to the opportunity). The day was great - Scott caught some waves on his surfboard while getting burnt and Kym worked on her tan a little more. The group went to Meamaw's for some wonderful B-B-Q.

Then it got interesting...camping in FL in August...we should have thought twice about that one! Haha! Well everyone went to the hotel and we told them we would see them tomorrow at the beach. We got to the site and crashed - we were pretty exhausted from the day. Then 2 AM rolled around and we were both wide awake sweating (car read 85 at 4 AM), itching, burnt, and getting eating alive. So we laid there and laid there and at about 4 AM decided we both had enough of the sweat and bugs and drove home. Needless to say we didn't see our friends at the beach on Sunday.

Here we are Sunday afternoon exhausted and realizing the things we have learned in the past few days!

The Office: Bomb Episode

When arriving back to work on Friday Scott was not allowed back into the parking lot due to an explosive that was thrown at a US costumes office right next to Collins Engineers. Here is the news article.

After some time waiting around the police allowed everyone to get in their cars and leave. Just another exciting day working by the Orange Blossom Trail.

Didn't do much this weekend besides laying by the pool and working on the tan. The Jeep is working out great and we are still excited about the deal we got. We are going on a road trip next weekend to Melbourne beach so we will see how it works on the open road.

Surfs Up,

Kym and Scott
