Team Greene: April 2010

April has been such a busy month for us and I have not made one post...so I better catch up now...
The month did not start out on such a good note because I lost my Grandaddy on Easter Sunday :( So a couple of days later we headed up to NC to be with family and to attend the funeral.
On the way up we went to the shuttle launch in Cape Canveral. There are only 3 more launches left and this one was the last night shuttle launch. Although the launch took place at 6 in the morning it was still dark out. This was an awesome experience! We had to be at Kennedy Space Center that morning at 3am...needless to say it was a looong day. But a great day. After the launch we toured around the Kennedy Center Complex. After spending half the day there, we landed in Northern Georgia for the night. Needless to say we crashed early and were up early the next day to be in Bladen County....oh how I miss home.
I hate that we had to be home for such a sad occasion, but it was great to be back in NC! I can't wait til June...we will be back for good!! We actually got to spend the week at home which was nice and it was hard to leave. The puppies had such a wonderful time running and swimming around on the farm and in the pond. My babies got to meet Mama's new baby, Cookie Bear, which was very interesting. I thought that Cookie Bear would eat Ella, but instead Cookie Bear ran from Ella. It was the funniest thing. In the end, I think everyone turned out to be friends!
Now we are back in FL. Since returning back, we have made a trip over to the west coast of FL and visited Naples and Fort Mayers. We LOVE it over there!! It seems to be more laid back and not quiet so many people. The beaches were beautiful. It was an awesome day and we did not want to come back to Dania
:( We spent the day at the Naples Zoo, the beach and walked around the outlets. We had to make a trip to the outlets becuase there was a Vineyard Vines there....and if you know Patrick then enough said! And if you know me...there was a Coach out there too!!
Anywhooo....we also made a trip down to Key Largo (this week) and went snorkling at John Pennekamp State Park. This also made for a wonderful day and we did not want to return back to Dania!
Now for the present we are both working on getting jobs back home....I have had a few phone calls...just gotta line up a couple of days of interviews so I can fly home for that. Patrick actually has an interview at UNC Hospitals next week so we are praying that something good comes out of that...so I will keep you updated on the job searches...so until next time...

The Lion King

So Disney came to Miami on Ice! I was driving to work one day and noticed this huge billboard with an announcement that Disney on Ice was coming to Ft. Lauderdale and Miami!!! So as soon as I got off the interstate I was calling Patrick telling him that we HAD to get tickets!!! Well luckily he agreed!!! So Disney on Ice was our activity for the week. The show featured "Cars", "The Little Mermaid" (my favorite!!!), "The Lion King" and "Tinkerbell"! It was a great show!!! Surprisingly enough after being around hundreds of kids tonight we still haven't ruled out having our own yet (but none anytime soon so don't get too excited). Well the show was great for me and OK for Patrick...so of course after the show Patrick was hungry so he wanted to go to Le Tub. Le Tub has been featured on Oprah as the #1 place to eat a burger before you die. It was a 13 oz. huge piece of meat that Patrick ate without thinking twice! So now I guess he can die a peaceful death (in the far far FAR future) knowing that he ate at Le Tub...haha! We that about wraps it up this week. It's finally getting really warm here so hopefully I can get out of bed in the morning so we can go enjoy the beach!
