My favorite.

In the morning I love to look into your beautiful eyes. I love to watch your strong hands go through your familiar morning routine. I love when you give me small kisses. Your laughter fills me up inside. If I could be your shadow I would. Watching over you throughout your day and giving you reassurance every time you were afraid. Your intentions are honest and your strength makes us powerful, taking on any challenge without fear and only with love. You complete me in every way. I can't even imagine a life without you. I want to hold onto you forever. I look into your eyes every night and know that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. You are my favorite.

I haven't written in awhile. Hey guys! 

Just wanted to update a little...I had a wonderful Valentine's day with Brandon. We went to the zoo and putt putt golfing and to the beach and out to eat and all in all it was a wonderful day. He really planned everything out and made it a fun suprise for me. I feel very lucky to have him in my life. Other than that nothing very eventful has happened. I am still yearning for a job and don't really know how soon one will come up, so I am just trying to wait patiently and hope for the best. My student loans are starting to come in and the reality of college costs has really hit me. I cannot believe how much money I racked up in persuit of my degree! I am so happy to be back in Vero, it just feels right here and I can't wait to get our own place when we save up some. My dad sent me a Valentine card with $30 attached and I decided to join Longevity Gym for the month. They had a deal that let you have 30 days for $30. I have been going since Friday of last week and I really like it. It is nice to have something productive to do for a part of the day while Brandon is at work. Other than that I have mostly been reading books from the library. I am catching up on my sequels and am currently reading "World Without End". It is really good so far. I loved the first book, so I didn't doubt the second would be wonderful as well. 

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. I would really like to go to some kind of service but I don't know what church to try. I have been contemplating giving something up for Lent, but I have not decided yet. I feel like I am in a valley right now in my walk with God. Lent would be a good time to pray and meditate more and hopefully draw nearer to Him. I really pray to be able to find a church where I can feel comfortable with their beliefs about equality. The search is always kinda hard. 

I am going to visit Benway tomorrow in West Palm. That should be fun. Katie is picking me up and we are driving down together. I haven't seen either of them since my wedding in June, so it will be nice to be together again! I always have fun with Rebekah and Katie and it seems like we are constantly laughing when we are together. Well thats all for now. Night. 

Love.

Fun with my iPhone

Movers + PetSmart = Awkward...

Today our movers came to drop off our furniture at our storage unit. Our driver Luis picked up a guy to help him named Gino and we were all introduced at 8 am. Gino was a very interesting man...to say the least. He immediately asked the lady that worked for the storage place if she was married and told her to call him. It was actually pretty funny. Both of the guys talked about my tattoos and then showed me their prison tattoos and talked about how they made them. Wow. I had to drop Brandon off at work at 10 so after that I basically hid out in the storage office for them to finish unloading. 

After that strange experience I had an interview at PetSmart at 2. Pretty standard retail interview. The manager didn't really write anything down though and assumed that if I worked there I would have the supernatural power to read minds. Actually that wasn't quite his expectation, but it was close. He said after about 15 minutes of chatting in a hot little conference room, "Well hopefully you will hear from us at the end of the week...I have lots of other interviews." Although I want a job, I don't really think PetSmart would be the place for me...even as just a job to make some money... so on with the job hunt. 

The weather was beautiful today and I am really glad we got out of Kansas when we did. I got to experience a little of winter and a gorgeous fall and then left before I started to hate the cold...lol. So I am glad all of our stuff is back in Vero. That's pretty much all for tonight. 

Love.

Tank Toppin'

I have suprisingly been able to wear a tank top for the last two days and I have been loving it! I don't think I have worn one since August except inside! Today Brandon and his family and I went to see his niece Stevi get baptized at First Baptist Church. We had to go to the 8 am service, but it was nice to be there for that time in her life. She was very excited and we were all really proud of her for her choice. After the service Jamie and Ben (Brandon's parents), Brandon and I drove out to Sebastian to eat at the Roadside Restaurant. It is a little place that you could miss just driving by, but they have a really tasty breakfast buffet and although we had to wait a bit, the food was delicious. Later on this afternoon Brandon and I saw a show at Riverside Theatre called "Fully Committed". It was a one man show about a guy that worked taking reservations via the phone for an upscale NY restaurant. The show was hilarious. Jimmy Bennet, the actor did an amazing job playing about 25 different characters that were all talking with himself. I was amazed at how intense the show was and how quick the pace was. He was just spot on the whole time. It felt good to be back at the theatre. I missed Vero a lot. Brandon starts his new job there tomorrow. We both feel really blessed that he has work. I have been looking, but there really isn't that much avaliable. Oh well, something will come with time.

In other unrelated news, our dogs Cupcake and Q-Tip lost their virginities today with each other in an awkward attempt at mating. I hope Cupcake has puppies, they would be adorable....that's all for tonight.

Love.

Boobah we aren't in Kansas anymore...

That's right, Brandon and I made it back to Vero after two days of traveling. We stopped overnight in Nashville to get some much needed rest. It snowed some that night and then a little the next morning. It made the sky was really pretty, it almost looked sparkly from the flurries. On the way home we stopped at Bath Junkie where you can make your own bath product scents. It is really fun. You start out with about 100 fragrances to mix and you pick what kind of scent you want and then mix and match to find your favorite. Brandon made 3 new body sprays for himself and I made 1 new scent. I would love to own one of these stores, I think it would do great on the beach in Vero somewhere. The investment is very large though and I don't know if I would ever be able to put down that kinda dough. We also ate dinner with Brandon's brother and his wife in Gainsville. It was good to see them and get to hang out. Tracy and I always have a good time making fun of our boys. Today we brought in most of the stuff that was packed in the car and found a storage unit for next week when the truck arrives. Brandon's work offer came through today and he also has something lined up for the summer. It looks very promising! I really want to find something soon too. He starts on Monday and I would like to be able to contribute to our savings too. Tonight we are just hanging out. Brandon's sister and nieces came over and it was really nice to see them. I am so glad we are back and closer to our families. Tomorrow we will be unpacking so we don't have to stumble over our stuff in our room anymore. :) 

Love!

I'm a Junkie!

Last Night...bittersweet.

Tonight is our last night in Kansas. It is a bittersweet night because we got to go out with friends and eat dinner and even though we are happy to be coming back home, there are some pretty good people we are leaving behind here. We had dinner at the Jerusalem Cafe with Jinni, Jill and Timothy and had some great food and even better company. Our movers came today and we were so glad we decided to get them. Some of our furniture is so big, I don't think we could have done it alone! They were really nice guys and even though they were late it only took them a few hours to get done. Tomorrow I think we are just going to take our time and get the apartment cleaned up a little and then pack the car up to go! I am so happy we don't really have a deadline or anything to get back into Vero because it will make our car trip a lot nicer. Today Brandon also found out about some possible work opportunities that are really exciting. I feel so blessed and know that God is taking care of everything. Kansas was an good experience and I am glad we got the chance to see new things and find out more about ourselves. Till tomorrow. Love.

They got all our stuffs!
