Crime Fighters

This past weekend was the last weekend that Kelly and I would have before she left for Houston. We had the whole weekend to ourselves. We thought we were going to have the weekend to relax, BUT little did we know that we were going to fight crime in Jacksonville!

About a month ago, Kelly's bike was stolen from her apartment's parking garage. Ever since, every time she sees someone cruising around on a bicycle, she looks to see if its hers. On Saturday night after laying out all day, we decided to walk to the Landing for dinner. We sat down at Benny's and we waited and waited and waited for someone to take our order. Well, finally our order was taken and we got done with dinner and we were walking back to the plaza. On our way, we were talking about how she was looking for her bike and how when she gets to Houston she was going to get a new one. Then we started talking about what she would do if she saw someone riding her bike. I mentioned how cool it would be to make a citizen's arrest (one of my goals ha). Lo and behold, this guy passes us riding a bike, and Kelly said, "Jayme, that's my bike!" I thought she was kidding but she defiantly wasn't.

We decided to run and follow him as he passed through the Landing. He ended up locking the bike up at a bike rack and leaving it there. Let me just mention, that Kel's bike is white with butterflies and flowers on it. We walk up to the bike, she sees that its indeed her bike, and I go and get a cop. The cop didn't understand the story, so I had to hurry him back to Kelly in case the dude decided to return and take the bike with him. Well the cop checks the serial number and finds out that it is hers and calls the crime scene people out to cut the lock off.

We didn't want to walk back to the plaza with the bike, because we had been standing by the bike with the cop for about an hour and we didn't want the guy to have seen us and then follow us. So, we called a few people who we thought would be close and no one was answering so we rode in a cop car with her bike back to the plaza.

What a weekend!!! This was the perfect weekend to just relax by the pool and that's exactly what we did! It will be very sad to say goodbye to one of my best friends, but I know that we will be visiting each other and we are still going to talk everyday like normal.

Tomorrow, I leave for the Nation's Capital. I absolutely love DC!! I will be working the majority of the time that I am up there, but I can't wait to see the sites!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and has a great day Monday (despite the rainy weather here in the Sunshine state!).

My friend Kevin....

IS AWESOME!!!

I met him when I was a freshman in college and have been good friends with him ever since.

He is from Boston, well some where in MA ha, and loves everything about up there.

He is a pilot. (Funny how I am friends with so many pilots, and I am scared of flying)

He taught me that New England wasn't a state. BAHAHAHHAHAHA

He has a huge heart and would do anything for his friends.

I will HOPEFULLY (depending on our schedules) be seeing him in DC next week and am pumped about it!

So Kevin, this BLOG'S for you!! :)

Miss you buddy!

P.S.: I really, really hope we aren't going to be matching at the wedding!

I hope everyone has a great and fun weekend! This weekend is going to be Kelly and Jayme weekend, since I found out at the beginning of this week, that she will be moving to Houston next week. I am sad, BUT this means a new place to visit!

So...here is are some recent pics from the past few weeks. I tried to upload a video from the concert but my computer decided not to cooperate!
Ha, the AARP card!

In other news....I will be traveling next Monday to Washington DC, one of my favorite cities! It's for work, so there won't be too much time to explore the city, but still its good to get out of your familiar surroundings every once and a while. In June, I will be traveling to one of my best friend's weddings in Greensboro, NC. I'm very excited for y'all, Danny and Jenna and can't wait to see you guys!
I think the diet (such an ugly word) is going well. I can now fit in some of the pants that I couldn't have a few months ago. Now, all I have to do is find my six pack and get a good tan, and I will be good as new.
Welp, that's all for this morning.....maybe something new will come to mind throughout the day.....
Hope everyone has a great one!

Happy Friday!

These are a few of my favorite things....

(These are in no particular order)

1. Church.

2. My family. Pretty important one.

3. Friends. They are pretty much my chosen family.

4. Sports.

5. Politics.

6. The news. I have to watch or read some form of the news every day. I believe that is extremely important to be a well informed citizen.

7. Shopping.

8. Organizing. If something isn't organized, I have to fix it!

9. Singing at the top of my lungs. For those of you who know me, know I can't sing but I love to try! There is a quote above my desk that says, "Sing out loud. Who cares what you sound like?"

10. Springtime and fall. These are two of my favorite times of year for different reasons, but mostly because the weather is beautiful those times of year.

11. Pedicures.

12. Learning new things.

13. Music. I love love love listening to music and relate different songs with different points in my life.

14. Laughing. You burn so many calories this way!

There are many more things that I enjoy but these are a few that came to my brain this morning. Every day, you should do something that you enjoy! :)
