:::ok well it wont let me upload pictures at the moment..so they'll have to come later:::
welllllllllllllllllllllll here's another update...
while we were waiting for Ernie to arrive. we went to his marina and were fishing and this big pelican came and landed next to us and was very curious. he KNEW when the rod bent that a fish was coming up and he would have taken it off the hook for me if we let him. instead Ed took it off and tossed it to him. He actually came back another day too!!
Ernie arrived...sometime thurday...or friday... and took us out on the boat on monday morning. the week marine forecast SUCKED to say the least, and monday morning seemed to be our best shot. so we went out around 7 am to head off shore...anddd didnt make it. i took dramamine the night before and some in the morning, felt a little iffy for a few minutes but then took another half and was fine. Ed felt pretty crappy when he was trying to focus on the fishing line and tackle stuff. so all in all it was a monstrous waste of time. but it was enjoyable "inside the reef"...the seas were more like 2-3 feet. whereas outside was a good 4-6 ft. Ernie has a pretty sick ($100k) boat, twin hull, twin outboards...so its pretty much the smoothest ride possible. i even got to drive it on the way back...top speed.... mom & dad i drove a vehicle that cost more than my 4 years at college... :-P
oh yeah, on our way out we got a close-up view of US Coast Guard Station Islamorada so here's some pictures of that...
JOB UPDATE: i (danielle) got a call from Pier 1 Imports and went and had an "interview" (chat) on saturday with the store manager and it seemed promising. she said she was going to call her boss on monday to see if she could hire me...but monday came and went and i got no call. She had told me she was in again on thursday so i will give her a call and see what the deal is. On a more exciting note...Ed never got his call-back from the captain @ Robbies, so he called him yesterday (tuesday)& left voicemail and texted him today (wednesday). Captain finally got back to him this afternoon asking if Ed was still interested in training to get up to speed and working a couple nights a week. so this is AWESOME. he's pretty pumped and is pretty much on edge waiting for hear when he can start. "working nights" basically means he goes out for the night fishing trip which would mean he works like 5-1am? give or take. the trip is scheduled for 7-12 so he would have to be there to prep and then clean up/clean fish when the boat returns.
other than that, next on the agenda is waiting for Jen, Chuck & the kids to get down this weekend (sunday)... gotta clean the apartment and the fridge and kick back and wait!! we have been very lazy the past few days kind of bumming around the marina/pool. Did some cleaning and laundry today... so thats about it!!!
we'll keep ya'll posted.
oh yeah, we officially look like floridians. (don't hate)
