Florida First Full Day

Woke up early this morning feeling alive and refreshed. Uncle David and Aunt Pat took me to breakfast at a quaint little cafe and of course I had to have some biscuits and gravy a great Southern dish. After dropping Aunt Pat off at work Uncle David and I headed out to Ferry Park to play some Frisbee golf. I remember Frisbee golf in college but we didn't use fancy discs we just used a regular Frisbee you'd toss around in the backyard. Needless to say I didn't start out doing so well but by the end of the course I was doing much better. Now I want to find a course up in Colorado when I get home.

Martha and her boyfriend were off of work this morning so after getting hot and sweaty playing disc golf we came back to the house to change then headed out to Crab Trap on the beach for some lunch. It was cool eating on the beach even though there was a definite rainstorm looming off in the distance. We headed back to Martha's house for a game of Apples to Apples. That game is so much more fun with alot of people. Then Martha and I headed off to little art shops and walked around for a while before she had to head back home and get dressed for work. Love hanging out with my little cousin.

Martha headed off to work just as Aunt Pat was getting back home and she said she had been waiting anxiously all day for us to go sailing. The breeze was calm and cool no real wind but all in all a very peaceful relaxing sail. Hopefully if the weather stays nice we'll go out again tomorrow after church :-) As for now its been a long and busy day so I'm off to bed.

Making it to Texas

Well apparently I accidentally deleted this original post so I'm going to try again.

Right before I was going to head out to Texas I was finalizing all the paperwork on my new apartment YAY can't wait to get out of my current place. I was also surprised to learn that my little brother ran off to San Antonio to get married. I'm very happy for them I just wish I was there to see it.

Made it to Texas with a clam and uneventful drive by Thursday. Its sad that I was originally supposed to be in New Mexico but it allowed me to come home a few days earlier than originally expected. Since I was home earlier than originally expected I was able to make it to Amy's baby shower on Sunday. She is such a cute and glowing pregnant woman. I'm really happy that they liked the quilt. I am so happy for Rich and Amy.

On Monday I jumped up and headed out to Tulsa, OK to see Becky and the fam. She had about 4 extra kids hanging out with us. That was ok we still made some fun for ourselves talking about education, memories of jumping from my dresser to my bed as kids, what we want in the future and how best to make a GIANT sugar cookie. Notice we needed lots of chocolate to make it perfect. Got a windshield replaced and had s a relaxing time but sadly had to go home earlier than I want. If only we had more time to see family.

Thursday was a down day since Friday I was leaving for Florida. All day Thursday I acted like as if I had lost my head and kept forgetting things I needed to pack and make ready for my trip. Luckily my mom was there to help me out. So at 5:30 am I headed out to Florida. My day started off going in a weird direction. First I was headed West on I-20 instead of East so I was already starting behind. Then on top of that I turn down the wrong 49. Oh well I made it to Florida in GREAT time and Uncle David was able to grill up some yummy chicken. Aunt Pat and Martha and I played a rousing game of Mexican train til I was just so exhausted I was ready to just put my head on the pillow and sleep. Nothing like a good sleep after a 12 hour drive earlier that day. Now time to enjoy Florida.
