SEAFOOD & MULLET FEST.

I would drink it but I swear it wasn't going down! haha



THE FiSH BOWL!


Two weekends ago there was a festival here called the Seafood Fest. (yuck)! If you know me then you sure know I'm a VERY picky eater & seafood is the number one thing you will not get me to eat. I guess I wasn't really going for the food more or less to check it out and something to do. Well Gilbert & I didn't think it was that great so we decided to just walk around because it was a beautiful night. We came across a neat bar to sit down and watch some football. Well of course then I wanted to try a drink I came across on the menu called a "FiSH BOWL". When Gilbert told me it was going to be literally a "FiSH BOWL" I was thinking ya. okay! Well when the waitress dropped off my drink he was sure right about my drink. I was thinking to myself holly crap that's a lot to drink all by myself. Well I didn't finish it because I probably would of had a horrible next morning but it was good! Last weekend there was another festival in Niceville where I go to school called the Mullet Fest. I wasn't to sure about a festival being named that but a "Mullet" is a type of fish, and I didn't know that. I heard from a group of people around campus that it was better than the Seafood Fest so we went to it as well. This festival was HUGE. We had a gulf cart drive us up to the entrance because the walk would have been like a mile. Thank god for that driver! We walked around for awhile & listened to a country singer sing & then my legs had enough. I forgot to bring the camera so no pictures unfortunately.

CHEERS TO NEW FRiENDS!

ME & WHiTNEY!

LAUREN,ME,CARLY,WHiTNEY,&HOLLY!

ME & HEATHER

I'm a very outgoing person but for some reason it has taken me a little longer to open up and meet new friends. Finally I have been able to overcome that fear, and I'm so happy because now I have a great group of friends. Last weekend we all went out to a few different clubs and ate at the Waffle House after. The Waffle House is a huge deal here in the South. McDonald's isn't even open 24 hours here because of it. I was very upset about that too when I first moved here. I met Whitney in my Ethics class and her friend Heather is in it too with us. The other girls Holly, Lauren, & Carly are their friends as well & Whitney introduced me to them. We had a few drinks and said "CHEERS TO NEW FRIENDS"!! Last night Carly & Heather took me to Baytowne for free drinks!! Baytowne is it's own private community with a little town in the back. When I was having a drink I noticed I was looking out into the Gulf Of Mexico which was beautiful! I'm sure there will be more nights of these with more pictures! :)

NEW HAiR COLOR

Today I decided it was time for a makeover! I've had the same hair color for 21 years and I was tired of it. I was a little nervous but now that its over with I love it! I put a darker brown with a tint of red in it. I'm actually going back to ULTA to get one more shade darker of brown in it so the red won't be as bright. Hope everyone likes it :)

PS. Here is the new hair color all done. Not as red anymore a lot darker.

CAR ACCiDENT!

Welcome to the Sunshine State Krista! I had a nice welcoming 9/22/08 while I was on my way to school for a fun day of classes. I was about 5 miles from the campus when I was at a stop light waiting for the light to turn green when all of sudden...BOOM a huge white truck rear ended me. I got out of the car and couldn't believe what had just happened. I started to panic because now I'm in the middle of traffic with a green light. I pull over to the side of the road and it was an older man that hit me. He told me he was messing around on his phone (texting). I was in Okaloosa County and
a county worker was the guy in the truck that had hit me. I started to have tears and just couldn't believe this had happened. This was now my second car accident where the other person was at fault and I was going to school. Maybe that's a sign to stop going to school! (I wish) ha. The guy didn't want me calling the cops but of course I did. His supervisor came and took his truck away from him when the cops left. I then drove myself to the Emergency Room and sat there for 6 hours by myself. It was the worst experience ever! Thankfully I just have to do physical therapy for my back and It wasn't worse. I'm out of work for a month but therapy is sure keeping me busy!

NEW ADDiTiON TO MY FAMiLY!

When I first moved to Destin, Florida from Northwest Indiana I was lonely at first. I was going to a new school and lived in a new town where I knew no one. All my friends were back home and I started to get home sick sooner than I thought. I was always told if you had a pet it was like having a best friend. I had never really believed that statement was true since my mom was not a big fan of animals. That day I decided I needed to go out and go pet shopping. I went to the animal shelter first and yes they dogs were cute but one was not really standing out to me. My last hope was pet land. This is where I fell in love with my new dog Bailey. He is a bichon poodle and weighs 4.7 lbs. You always see movies where the kids are looking in the windows at the cute puppies and begging their parents for that puppy behind the window. .well that puppy was my Bailey. I fell in love with him. When they brought him out to me he melted my heart by his personality. I didn't care how much he was I knew that he was the one and I wanted him. The day I brought him home it was like to good to be true! He really is the best dog ever. He went on his puppy pad the minute he got home. I couldn't of picked a better dog. He really is my best friend too. There are nights when I get sad and lonely and he knows it because every time he comes up to me and wont stop kissing me. Bailey $900 His kisses-PRICELESS. For everyone that has never had a pet and always wanted one I suggest you get one.

P.S. And for all my family members that are Buckeye Fans Bailey is one too now with his new jersey. My mom comes in 22 days to visit me and I think she is going to love it. He also has an IU one on the way too!! :)
