florida...babies...beach...

Florida is good- I am trying to post a few pictures of my time here thus far, except my moms computer is real slow- so who knows if I will ever get to complete that process...I am having fun doing lots and seeing lots! Merry Christmas!

Venice

Today was a marvelous day!!! My mom and I got up early and went down to Venice Beach. It was awesome. The sun was coming out most of the day- kinda chilly, but still, wonderful, since no snow was falling. We looked for sharks teeth...shells....put our feet in the water, felt the breeze on my skin. It was awesome. I can't say that enough!!

Then, we went to the downtown area for a little shopping in the cute shops- I bought some stuff and my mom got me a pretty bracelet and I got a necklace for my grandma......then, we came back and stopped in Ellenton cause my mom said the outlet had a shoe store, clarks, that is real good and has big feet shoes, and sure enough, we both got a pair of shoes- and now I have a comfy pair, so I can walk around campus all day long and not get tired!!! :)

PERFETO!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday was a fun day, I metup with my friend Bethany and George, from high school, he is in the Navy now, and we met up for lunch downtown St.Pete- marvelous food and good times catching up! :) We made an appoinment to get our nails (toes and fingers) done on thursday...and last night, my mom and I got REFLEXOLOGY! That was fun, that is just basically a foot rub, but she pushes on different area's and can tell if you are sore or have congestion...stuff like that. I almost fell asleep!!

Then, my mom tried to fake me out and make me eat YAMS. ICK!!! Mom's can be sneaky, but not THAT sneaky!! :)

Oh, tonight we also went to my granny's house and then she needed a lot of things from the grocery store, so we had to do that...and grocery shopping in florida is so different than grocery shopping in Michigan. Florida is just an overcroweded state. it is ridiculous. people EVERYWHERE......

FLORIDA HERE I AM

I am home in florida- it was marvelous to be back - strange to see the left that I don't really have anymore down here! I have stepped back into my childhood and it is just funny to come back and know people but not really know them. I have seen my family already and enjoy life with my mom! :) I do miss the BF - but soon enough I will see him again!

The flight down here was interesting to say the least...i sat next to a 91 year old woman- who had pee'd her pants prior to getting onthe flight. I thought it smelled funny when I first sat down..and then I realized that her pant legs were wet...and the smell was getting worse. THEN the 3 year old girl sitting behind me kept shouting, "someone is using the potty" and that is when I realized that I was smelling old woman urine....so gross. anyways, i helped her and that was nice- but it was very smelly. She later thru conversation was able to verify that yes, indeed she has pee'd her pants upon entry of the airport...so gross. but, she was sweet and after sitting for 1 hour on the tarmack because we exceeded the weight limit....we finally left Detroit....and I finally had air moving the pee filled air around...

:) Last night we went to celebrate my cousins graduation from Grad school- her MBA. That was fun, we had a nice dinner at a pretty fancy shancy rest. and tha twas fun and then finally I was able to come home and relax!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

christmas break

Well, Christmas break is upon me now! Much to do and much to see....florida and coloma! How fun! I haven't blogged in a long time because I have been oh so busy!!! Jamos, my boyfriend, has been finishing his last semester of college on main campus, he has been getting ready to go to Costa Rica and now we are closer than EVER for that! He has been completing his tasks for dental school and we have encountered plenty of issues and problems. The ride has been stressful, but together we have worked hard and made it thru! This morning we were at the infectious disease place, getting SHOTS for him to go to Costa Rica and not die, so that was fun and basically the last thing we needed to do for him besides pack- and that is easy! :) So, I am excited. I look forward to Florida and seeing my friends and their babies and just hanging out!!! I can't wait to hang with my grandma and mom and just be with my family again. I want to read and knit and just get rested before coming back to the snowy north!!

A few prayer requests: Shaun Page, a friend/student at SAU has come down with a form of cancer- so we pray for complete healing of his body. Prayer for Jamos, that he will complete his tasks and that the Lord will just watch over his steps and continue to guide his paths for his future during this transition time.
Prayer for my air and car travel, that I will be safe and that i will just be able to be a blessing to my family.

snowy night

Last night was a full night! I worked out- cleaned the house, did some laundry, the BF finally came over just in time to run outside in the LARGE amounts of snow that fell so we could PLAY together!!! How fun! We made snow angels and ran around and even got thrown in the snow pile- but it turns out that it isn't bad at all to get pushed down in the snow ;)

FUN TIMES!!! I felt like a kid again....it was great!
