Updates & Hank

Hey it's Brad!

Just popping in to catch ya'll up on we've been up to.

First order, of business, i have new hairs. I like it alot. Victoria is good at what she does.



Second and most important is the new addition for our little family, Hank!


Hank is a purebred basset hound. He's 11 weeks old!


He loves and adores his big brother Charlie.


Charlie is a decent big brother, but does get a tad rough with him sometimes. Here's a (super dark) video to illustrate.



Charlie doesn't understand things like "slow" and "gentle".


Hank is Charlie's polar opposite. He's so fat, so lazy, so relaxed. He waddles when he walks, just likes to lay around and sleep, and it takes him like 20 minutes to eat his 3/4 cup meals, whereas it takes Charlie .3 seconds to eat his 1 1/2 cup meals!
Look at those ears!!!

Here's their little homes.


Anyway, we've had him a few days now and we love him to pieces. He fits in perfectly.


doe toe and a moe toe.


See ya'll soon!

Aw...

Hey, it's Brad.

Victoria took this picture awhile back and I just thought it needed to be shared.

We live here. Doesn't this picture just plain make you wish you were here?

Love Ya'll.

The 4th!

Hey ya'll, It's Victoria!


Happy Birthday America!


The day started alright. I had to work until six, and we were soooo slow. Parking was super crazy down at the beach so I had to get all festive and get our cooler ready before i even got off work.





I went home and picked up Brad and we went down and got in line for a parking spot. We kept aking everyone, "Are you leaving? Scuse me! Are you leaving?" Finally, we found this family who was leaving, but had to pack up the car, shower off, and all kinds of stuff before we finally got to claim our spot. They were funny.



Once we parked, we walked around to all the shops down by the public beach, went to The Hangout (they had a band there and stuff), and just generally killed time until the fireworks started at 9.




One of my friends from work and her boyfriend met us down there to watch the fireworks. The beach was paaaaacked. The display was a little weak, but seeing them shot over the ocean was cool. They were handing out these 3d glasses that were supposed to make the fireworks all trippy, but they just gave us a headache.



(picture is a little dark, but you get the idea)





After the fireworks in Gulf Shores, Brad and I rushed over to The Wharf (a big condo/shopping center/ampitheater type place in Orange Beach) and caught the last couple songs of Montgomery Gentry through the fence. Brad conned a parking lot attendant into letting us park in the vendor lot, so we got right up by the tour busses. As it turned out, the firework display for The Wharf was being shot off from RIGHT THERE! We were so close, I was afraid the empty firework shells were gonna fall on us! The fireworks here were amazingly better! The finale got NUTS!



All up and down the beach, people were lighting off fireworks and everyone was getting all rowdy. It was real fun.

After all that, we came home and had a pretty quiet, uneventful rest of the night! It was a solid day.

HAPPY 4th!!!!!

FIRST POST FROM GULF SHORES!!!!

This is the start of our blog! Thanks all for reading!


Well, we're here in Gulf Shores, AL. Our place here is gorgeous, although it doesn't look like much in pictures. You'll just have to come see for yourself!






Victoria has been working like crazy at SmartStyle in WalMart, covering for my lazy butt. We've been here a month and I've already gotten and lost a job... Oh man. New restaurants can be difficult! I'm so tired of opening new places anyway! Hopefully things will work out this week though. I'm really trying hard!


Anyway...
Charlie loves it here. We tried to get him a buddy, who we named Waylon, but it was too crazy and really didn't work out, so we had to take him back. Lesson learned!!! He sure was cute though.




They have a dog park right down the street where we take Charlie so he can run around. He's not allowed on the public beaches, but there is a beach about 10 miles down our road that he can go to. He likes it, but the waves scare him alot! He's getting big, but hopefully he'll stop growing soon! He's a total momma's boy.



We go to the beach maybe twice a week, on Victoria's days off. We've got some great tans going on.





Everything else is just as normal as can be.





We miss everyone like crazy and can't wait to see ya'll!
