World Cup


14 days 11 hours 34 mins till the greatest sporting event in the world.....



In other related soccer notes the Bi-Polar Bears we able to defy all odds and win the Thursday night loser bracket playoffs. Technically getting 5th place the team received a nice Adidas ball and a team picture with the world cup trophy. Two games back to back with no subs was a challenge but victory had to be met with a 2-0 win in the Final.


Despite the need for lids on beer glasses Scott has turn Kym into a soccer watching fan. She is excited for the World Cup and to watch the games at varies locations in Orlando. One being the Harp and Celt where we went for the Champions League Final. It was a rowdy, electric crowd and has only started to lay the ground work for the World Cup watching. I believe I remember a direct quote from Kym after viewing the match, " Wow that was a lot of fun. Watching soccer is exciting in a bar with beer and fellow fans. I cant believe I ever liked Baseball/Softball. Soccer is sooooo much better."

Oh wait.......

14 days 11 hours 24 mins till the greatest sporting event in the world.....

oh monday's.....

So we have been a little pre-occupied over here....

I will start with the good stuff....

Last weekend was a blast for us!

Saturday we decided to go downtown to the Florida International Beer Fest. It was put on by the same people who did the beer fest we went to last month. Apparently they put one on every month or two (we won't complain). This one was a ton more people but way better food. It also had live entertainment. We are thinking they need a bigger venue next year though...a bit over crowded. The beer was yummy like always and the Oberon booth was the first one to run out.

Sunday we took advantage of our Disney passes and went to Hollywood Studios. We finally went on the Tower of Terror which was really fun. I was kind of nervous I might puke but I was all good. We ended up going on it twice thanks to fast passes.

They also have this cool area at the park all about animation. One part of it is you get to learn how to draw different Disney characters. We have gone to it before and drew Donald. This time we got to learn how to draw Eeyore. We had so much fun we went through again. This time the teacher said the character was going to be a surprise and we would find out as we started drawing. Well....we drew one circle and Scott yelled out Donald Duck and well....there went that surprise for the little kids. hahaha. Another person later yelled out Daffy Duck...the teacher was not too happy. haha!


Then Monday can around.....I got rear ended :( I am fine but my car is not :( Needless to say I have been on the phone a lot this week trying to get this all figured out. Of course the other person was a tourist with a rental car. We are thankful however I was not hurt and will be getting the car fixed soon.

Scott has been working in the field most of this week. He has his soccer playoffs tonight....cross your fingers for the team.

the TAN is coming back :)

I would like to take a few seconds to let everyone know that the weather here has been WONDERFUL!!!! Mid-to-High 80s, sunny, very low humidity....makes me smile :) This past week has really just made me love where I live!

Scott and I of course have started to take advantage of the nice weather. This past weekend we went to Epcot and the beach.

I had to work Saturday morning/afternoon so when I got out of work we decided to head to Epcot for the evening. It was a great night to walk around and enjoy the park. Epcot is having its International Flower and Garden Festival right now so it is decorated amazing. The flowers were just beautiful.
On Sunday we decided to head to Cocoa Beach and enjoy the day. Scott unfortunately could not bring his surfboard because there were NO waves. He says "its like a lake". Fortunate for me though we got to hang out on the beach together though :) Usually when he brings his board it is me reading by myself and him in the water the whole time. It was a nice change having him reading and laying out too.

Oh yes and on the way to the beach we had to stop to get "off road" pics of the Jeep. Scott has joined a forum for Patriots and needed a pic to show off. haha :) There are spots on the said of the road where people camp or fish so we took some new pics there...


Another new adventure I am taking on is trying to become a runner....hahaha...between the weddings coming up and just wanting to lose weight and get fit I thought why not. I have decided I am going to "train" for a 5k. Apparently running season is over which means there are not that many races in the summer, so I have all summer to train and become a runner. I will keep you all updated on how long this fad lasts for me :) I started about a week ago and have ran everyday. It is not so bad right now because hours are down at both jobs so we will see how it goes when things pick up...

Other than that we are looking forward to June....which we realized it going to be one busy month for us and we get visitors :)

Where did the weekend go?

This weekend flew by for us.....

Saturday was a nice day on the lake watching a Pro Wakeboarding competition.


Saturday night we went to the Titans game. They are Orlando's pro lax team. It was the first round of the playoffs and they won!!!!

Sunday we hung out at the apt and I had to work in the evening.

The weekend was short and sweet :) It's on to another week of work.

Summer has officially started here....it was about 93 all weekend and sunny.
