Fun Sunday :)

Wow! what a fun Sunday! We went over to Cresent beach and St. Augustine today. Luckily it was kind of overcast so it wasn't too hot, it was nice. Sadie had tons of fun playing in the sand. The water was a little cold but we sat down in the very shallow area and played a little. Adam and I played pro kadima and Sadie ran back and forth trying to get the ball. We only stayed at the beach for about 3 hours, then we went in to St. Augustine. Admission to Castillo de San Marco is free this week and I haven't been in a long time; Adam had never been. It was really neat to see all of the history. It's amazing that the fort has been there so long and withstood so much. Sadie had fun running around. She went through this little door into an old ammo room (it was part of the tour if you wanted to crawl through). We saw them set off the cannons a couple of times and looked at all the neat stuff. It was a blast. After that we got some lunch and walked around in the old town. Sadie even got some of my ice cream. We got home about 6:30 and kind of just relaxed. Sadie went to bed and we start the week all over again! This coming weekend, Adam and I are staying at his parents to watch their dog. The whole family will be in Chicago for Adam's cousin's bat mitzvah. Unfortunately we are not able to go so we get to be on dog sitting duty! Maybe we'll do something fun next Sunday! Nighty night! Loves.

DISNEY!!!!!!


Photobucket is being weird and is driving me crazy so I uploaded all the good pics from Disney like this. We went last Sunday and had a great time. It was kinda crowded (spring breakers) so we only stayed from open until about 2:30. It was enough time to do pretty much everything we wanted to. Sadie did not like snow white or the peter pan ride. She was totally freaking out! She loved it's a small world and pirates of the Caribbean (except for the dark drop). I thought she was going to freak out on the haunted mansion but she fell totally asleep! (dead asleep...lol). We had a great time though. We still have 3 more days on our passes so we plan to go to animal kingdom and Epcot and maybe Disney again. I have never been to Epcot so I'm looking forward to that and I think Sadie will like all the animals at animal kingdom. We did miss the pooh ride and the jungle cruise. There was like 60 minutes wait times! We'll get them next time. Other than that nothing too exciting going on. We are going to try and go to the beach tomorrow and also the fort in St. Augustine. It's "national parks week" so admission is free! Unfortunately it is 11:54 pm and I haven't started packing up or organizing...so we'll see what happens! Nighty night!

It's spring!!

Yes, it's been a long time since I've posted. It's been craziness in the Shugan household!! I started my new job almost 2 weeks ago. It's been very busy and these 2 weeks have flown by but I'm enjoying myself. It's weird getting used to the way a company does stuff when you're used to doing and saying certain things (policies & procedures...even answering the phone!). Adam is almost done with school (knock on wood) He submitted the final draft of his thesis and is waiting for his final grade. He applied for a couple of jobs here in Gainesville. Now that he is done with his thesis he is going to apply elsewhere. We have both been looking for jobs for him around here but there's not a lot open. We kinda knew that this would be a possibility. We'll see what happens. I'm not making plans for anything besides what is happening this minute and within the foreseeable future! We still haven't been able to go to Disney with our passes. I was sick and so we weren't able to go, we were going to go this weekend but the part time person that works weekends is no longer employed there so that didn't work out. I told Adam, by the time we get to use them they will have expired! We are talking about going next weekend but I'm just gonna wait to even try and plan it! Don't wanna jinx it. The weekend of April 24-25 Adam's family will be in Chicago for his cousin's bat mitzvah (we'll be staying at their house to watch the dog :/ ) then the next weekend is Elliot's graduation in Tallahassee. Adam is definitely going, I'm not sure if I am. It depends on if I have to keep helping out on Saturdays.

We talked about renting a house. We found one right across the street from my friend Kristin. We really liked it and it would've been awesome to live across the street from Kiki and Benny. In the end, though, we decided to stay where we are. We would've had to pay deposits and all the jazz. Plus, if we do end up having to move we don't want to have any issues with getting out of a lease. At least if we do need to break our lease, we already know the breakage fees where we currently live. That makes it a little easier. Plus, I don't want to move again unless it's to a house we are either buying or a rental house we plan on staying in for the next few years...

Sadie is doing well. Her allergies are crazy right now but she is in great spirits. They had a "yay Sadie's walking" party for her at daycare (their idea). I made mini cupcakes for the kids and asked them to take pics. We took her to the butterfly garden on Easter and she had a GREAT time. She loved all the birds and butterflies. It was kind of crowded, so we'll have to go back some other time. I told Adam we should've gotten married there! It's so neat. Other than that she's just been playing and being a silly little monkey. She has been pee peeing in her potty. Not consistently but a lot. I think It'll be easier when she goes to the 2 year old class. They don't potty training until that class at daycare.

Well, I'll try to post again soon. Luckily not too much exciting stuff happens to us. I hope we'll get to go to Disney soon!
