Introducing Sir Darwin Goldman!!

My Valentine's Day gift from Ryan - a black lab puppy! He's 7 weeks old and from our humane society rescue. He's learning fast and has already bonded with us.

Introducing Darwin Goldman! Or, as we affectionately call him, Sir Darwin Piddlepants. :)

Sister - Sister

My Sister Lisa and her boyfriend Chris decided to celebrate her momentous 30th Birthday with us down here in South Florida. We had a great time. We took them to some local spots, drove down through the Keys for a day, took them out to the Everglades for an airboat ride, and just chilled at home. Here are some great pictures of our time together.

Happy 30th Birthday Lis!

2 Night Short Bahamas Cruise

As many of you know, Ryan and I exchanged nearly identical gifts for Christmas. I gave him a 2 night cruise on Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas, and he gave me a 4 night cruise on the same ship in March!

Here are the pics from our January 22nd two night short Bahamas cruise to Coco Cay.







Yup- that's the helicopter Ryan is usually in for manatee surveys! We was waving hi to his co-workers.

What is wrong with this world??

This woman belongs to my Sorority chapter from South Carolina and is currently in the hospital following a surprising attack by her husband.

http://www.erinprince.com

One of our alum was kind enough to start a website in her name and set it up to accept donations to help her family with travel and medical expenses for Erin. On this page you can also find more information about Erin and the story. I know it is the holidays, but if you can, please donate to help Erin and her family get throught this very tragic situation.

More information:

Erin Prince-Gould is known by her friends and family as a bright and cheerful person. Fun to be around and easy to talk to, Erin can lighten a mood with her witty sense of humor. In 2005, she became President of Sigma Sigma Sigma, of Coastal Carolina University, a role in which she shined as a mentor and leader. No one has a spirit quite like Erin's - it's a blend of joy, kindness, quiet confidence, dependability, and a yoda-like intelligence.

On December 20th, 2008 Erin Prince-Gould was sleeping in her home in Jacksonville, NC. The events that took place in those early hours of the morning, are still difficult to grasp. Jon Gould, Erin's husband, struck her in the head with a hammer multiple times, before staging a break-in for the police. Erin was airlifted in critical condition to New Hanover Regional Medical Center where she still continues to fight for her life and the life of her unborn child.. She is currently in critical but stable condition but has not been responsive. The full story can be viewed by clicking on one of the links below.

You can help by giving a Donation to the Prince family. A fund has been established to assist the medical bills, travel expenses, and future financial hardships the family has this holiday season and beyond. All donations will be given directly to the Prince Family.

Erin's family currently resides in Whitehouse, OH and are continuing to stay by her side in New Hanover, NC.
