Life Lately

I've been on hiatus since the cupcake contest. Max and Jonah's has had some great events that have cut into my blogging time. This entry is a little mash-up of all the awesomeness that has been happening lately!

Tampa Bay Seminoles Football Kickoff & Pub Crawl - It's that time of year, football season! Here in Tampa Bay, FSU alumni really know how to "ring in the new year," so to speak. This annual pub crawl has been on our radar for years but we've never been able to go for various reasons. This year though, we went, we drank and we were Unconquered! If you don't get the "Unconquered" reference, you're clearly not a Seminole fan.

Max and Jonah's First Cake Tasting - Our first wedding is just over two weeks away, so naturally we had to meet with our bride and groom to figure out what exactly they want for their special day. Neither Evan or I are married and we've never been to a cake tasting so we weren't exactly sure how to do it so we came up with our own format. It turned out amazingly, even the groom keep raving about how great it was--although, he may have just been excited that we provided champagne!

Baby Kisses - So many lately, I'm in love.

Vanessa's Bachelorette Party - It just so happens that the bride who's wedding we will be making cupcakes for in two weeks, is our good friend. We took her over to Daytona Beach (my home town) for a weekend of babes, bikinis, beaches, cocktails and...

A New Tattoo - Just in time for football season! If you haven't figured out that Ryan and I are massive FSU fans by now, you should go get your short term memory checked by a physician.Yes, this was result of Vanessa's Bachelorette Party. No, I did not go to some hole-in-the-wall place by all the bars with some seedy guy named "Hank" tattooing while spitting dip into a cup at 3AM. I went to the same place I have gone for almost all of my tattoos, a place that I know is safe and a place that just won 2013 Readers' Choice Best Tattoo Shop by the News Journal, Shamrock Tattoo. In my opinion, it's the only place to go, ever.

Labor Day, Boat Day - Best part of the afternoon: Mila got to go for her first jet ski ride. Worst part: we were so concerned about slathering Mila with sunscreen every 20 minutes that we forgot about ourselves OUCH!

Florida State's First Game of the Season (Labor Day, Game Day) - Not only did FSU play their first game of the season, they DOMINATED their first game of the season. Seriously, if you missed this or if you missed the highlights or if you missed all the hype surround starting freshman quarterback Jameis Winston, you must be living under a rock, in the solitude of Hawaii, on top of an active volcano. That would be the only logical explanation. So for you, Volcano Dwellers, here is an article that will explain it all.
