Here it is, my last post! I can't believe it's over! I've been dreading writing this all day because I'm simply saddened at its ending. Yes, there were many days I didn't feel like posting. It wasn't always easy. But I'm going to miss it. The routine of it possibly.<br />
<br />
I've learned so much through this year! I'm so glad I stuck through it. It made me be creative, it pushed me, and it helped discipline me in a way. It's been a wonderful year and now I'll have it recorded forever :)<br />
Until my next project...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sometimes you just need a breather. Alone time. I know I've been needing some. This is my special place, and I've been looking forward to simply sitting in the sand, feeling the wind, and feeling the icy water on my toes. This is another one of my God places. Quieting my heart, I feeling simply surrounded by his love. This was my favorite part of the day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Stories that begin with "once upon a time" are always the best kinds of stories! They'll take you away to another time and place. So long as you've kept your imagination with you. But if you've forgotten what it's like to dream and to laugh. To fly, and run as fast as the wind. To go on adventures and be the beauty or the hero. Well then, what a terrible loss that would be. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832326545147955772.post-45444581540357513332012-01-29T20:06:00.000-08:002012-01-29T20:06:24.679-08:00Game Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1y-QD4Jbl7K0Xn6tfQkjTbR7Be_8qnhMMagwqGz0_-K4oPq7yPaoNLI5SVKlRwXyJeAo_XQ94NAAJNGA9I0xVyZEIB53L8341wxfEqV741WelnOl-zxqepYuV-Q_u4az0ca-DTOo0ksG7/s1600/IMG_0136.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1y-QD4Jbl7K0Xn6tfQkjTbR7Be_8qnhMMagwqGz0_-K4oPq7yPaoNLI5SVKlRwXyJeAo_XQ94NAAJNGA9I0xVyZEIB53L8341wxfEqV741WelnOl-zxqepYuV-Q_u4az0ca-DTOo0ksG7/s320/IMG_0136.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>Though not feeling the best today, I was pleasantly surprised at finding a love letter in the mail from my sweetheart. These are the best kinds of days! And, what made it even better was a date to a little, romantic restaurant. I have the best man in the world! He's so sweet to me. It makes my heart sing :)<br />

</div>Some would call today a bad day and others a good day. It was a dentist day. If needles aren't involved, I unlike my mother, love to go to the dentist. And, leaving without having to come back in a few days makes it all the better. :)<br />

No, I'm not this enthusiastic about the dentist normally, but it was the most exciting thing that happened today... :)<br />

</div>In this wonderful Florida weather we have done here, I spent the day with my brothers around town and eventually ended up at the park.

</div>What an absolutely odd day it has been! I started out going over to my neighbors house to get some wood cut. The wood was for the base of the center piece in this picture. After a few futile attempts at trying to get smooth cut circles, my neighbor called a friend. So we jumped in the car, and ended up at a sawmill in Eustis. We walked around in about a foot of sawdust as far as you could see. And, found a bunch of Ostridge's staring at me. They were the creepiest things. Even though I knew they were behind a fence and I was safe, the fact that their necks stuck through them about three feet was just weird...

</div>I would be lying if I told you I don't have my discouraging days. Sometimes I feel like quitting and that what I'm doing simply isn't making a difference. But then, I remember who I'm doing it for. And, that even though I'm one small person, my God is bigger than any problem or discouragement. All He asks of me is my heart and to step out in faith and He'll take care of the rest. May I ever rest in His arms, not striving on my own. Because I simply cannot do it on my own.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832326545147955772.post-61241621659643245232012-01-21T20:32:00.000-08:002012-01-21T20:32:40.921-08:00Immersed<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdie4EtyTzKyDD_0xLgVah_hEPqMctAyUGrzTKT1BkDpOKrul50t9mXIU6ARy81F3xTKp97Rc5rSPE4gwXuVImOryMgZv2iwc3uiinw6hPqd-uHAuuWpYpQvdRgkDcEa4JmulpdAxz5dnv/s1600/hannah9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdie4EtyTzKyDD_0xLgVah_hEPqMctAyUGrzTKT1BkDpOKrul50t9mXIU6ARy81F3xTKp97Rc5rSPE4gwXuVImOryMgZv2iwc3uiinw6hPqd-uHAuuWpYpQvdRgkDcEa4JmulpdAxz5dnv/s400/hannah9.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I do however put a limit on it, so I did get to spend lovely time with Lukey tonight. :) Goodnight world!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832326545147955772.post-23903324940258960332012-01-21T20:25:00.000-08:002012-01-21T20:25:12.814-08:00New In The Old<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwS209pviDPtucsE0Dgj9QWwJMLpceBzL3UReVC3t9nBYiDjcq4pUZYCthCGrfJmk3B6FJZrqwrganqmuBQ383xdgTkZrLqTI35F0xkpkpNwvfcQ2GzHIlPLonxzGcszKavepk-vosY2n5/s1600/IMG_9553.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwS209pviDPtucsE0Dgj9QWwJMLpceBzL3UReVC3t9nBYiDjcq4pUZYCthCGrfJmk3B6FJZrqwrganqmuBQ383xdgTkZrLqTI35F0xkpkpNwvfcQ2GzHIlPLonxzGcszKavepk-vosY2n5/s400/IMG_9553.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I took my first bike ride ever of the Minneola trail head today. So fun! Especially in this wonderful weather we've been having. Having a special friend to do it with always helps too :).

</div>Don't you just love those days when you're home by yourself and don't have anything you must go out and do? I love them! Quietness is my friend (at times). There's so many things you can do: play the piano, clean, make something to eat (without a bunch of brothers eating it all), and my favorite, think. I like hearing my thoughts now and then.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832326545147955772.post-23703183837669173112012-01-19T20:53:00.000-08:002012-01-19T20:53:40.589-08:00Catching Up<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTAHqXXRO9-axHhAd_BU5sJBDU7CdRivcqDpYXAWnZcAkhCncn5SGhrdQKrqosVOc1BOmkvSTkI2HsiapUKlAdDOeLkS5FN4rSERCYb7JmsDwqKiXefLx0mbBqG3UGYXJLCkB8jRyxcqDU/s1600/IMG_9764.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTAHqXXRO9-axHhAd_BU5sJBDU7CdRivcqDpYXAWnZcAkhCncn5SGhrdQKrqosVOc1BOmkvSTkI2HsiapUKlAdDOeLkS5FN4rSERCYb7JmsDwqKiXefLx0mbBqG3UGYXJLCkB8jRyxcqDU/s400/IMG_9764.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>On this fabulous last day of vacation, we hit up Anastasia State park. The beach there is absolutely gorgeous! With very few people. The sun decided to peak out of the clouds every couple of minutes. And, when it did the temperature was perfect. This may be way far out there to wish for, but I wish I had a beach house right on the water. There's something so invigorating about the ocean. The size of it maybe? It forces me to realize how small I am in the midst of everything. Another one of those beautiful things that makes me feel closer to God.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832326545147955772.post-2110341662236878432012-01-16T19:00:00.000-08:002012-01-16T19:00:41.285-08:00St. Augustine 3<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOJ1ZsrJjCyRpvIxr11lJVhvdfI4BB_ctLcoIWTWtvhjjL3_f-WESrLRWfsP3lSm2fwHSaDaw3A5pH3FA58qG9YqaO3rmIQnKePEquGPmV65I2rADUvYPNPSF7N4ILAP00JGB3VpyqSkL-/s1600/boat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOJ1ZsrJjCyRpvIxr11lJVhvdfI4BB_ctLcoIWTWtvhjjL3_f-WESrLRWfsP3lSm2fwHSaDaw3A5pH3FA58qG9YqaO3rmIQnKePEquGPmV65I2rADUvYPNPSF7N4ILAP00JGB3VpyqSkL-/s320/boat.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Morning number two of waking up to a glorious breakfast :). We then headed off to the castle! It was quite the experience, but unfortunately we weren't allowed to get any pictures... without paying a large fee. Maybe next time :).<br />
<br />
We spent the rest of the day doing whatever we pleased. What a wonderful feeling that is! And, finished out the night at a cozy, tucked in the corner restaurant that had live music, a lit outdoor area, and space heaters. So fun!<br />

</div>Well, today we woke up to a very welcome smell! Breakfast! Jeanie's breakfast at that. The very best! Something we look forward to eating every year. The rest of today was filled with church, bike riding, shopping, and a movie. I'm now ready for bed, but excited for tomorrow's castle adventure.<br />

</div>We have arrived! I'm sitting here in my cozy, Victorian room writing this out and getting ready for some sleep. I love how the moment we turn off the highway and enter this town, the feeling of being far removed from the rest of the world sets in. Tonight we attended a changing of the guard at the plaza and ate dinner at a Vegan restaurant. Yum!

</div>Today we used the family Christmas present. We spent the day at Islands of Adventure. Most of the day...it took us quite awhile to get there :P.

</div>Despite my lack of motivation this evening, I did get a number of things done. Simply do to the fact that they absolutely had to get done tonight because I will have no time to do them later. IOA tomorrow with the family and my favorite man. Then, St. Augustine on Saturday! Must pack... So excited!!<br />

</div>The office is almost finished now. I spent the day moving files back into file cabinets. So many files... Needless to say my lower back is going to be quite sore tomorrow. But the best part of today was getting up extra early to eat breakfast with Luke before work :). I love seeing him in the early morning. And, I totally wiped my old laptop tonight. That's been on my list of things to do for months now. Off to the post office with it in the morning and I'll never have to look at it again!<br />
