thankfulness...

well, i wanted to post with pictures but my transfer program is being stubborn... so let me first off say a happy thanksgiving to you and your families. i pray that you spent the day with the ones you love and thought about all the things we are to be thankful for.

things i am thankful for...

1. my family- either close or far, we make sure to call and chat with one another. and for our almost new member, and sister for me... stephanie!!!
   
2. a roof over my head- and a comfy bed to sleep in.
   
3. friends- that i chat with via email, text or face to face :)
   
4. food- plentiful amounts especially what we had today!
   
5. and much, much more... lower gas prices, days off, sleep, and snow (if it ever comes)!

if i can ever get my pics on, i will post them as well :) gobble gobble!!!

revelation generation

lots to post about rev gen but i want to catch up on my blog so...
i'm just gonna post a few highlights from the weekend

this was my first time going, and i will say right now... i'm going back next year! it was amazing and there were sooooo many artist that comes so there was always someone to worship with!

here are caitlin, janet and myself
we went the first night and saw mandesa, leeland, and chris tomlin! all did a great job, but worship with chris tomlin live was A-mazing!

just us gals being silly tying to waste time...smooshy faces :)
does anyone have to go to the bathroom?! i think they had plenty.
word to the wise, only use the first night... too many people the second day!

breakfast with the gals on day two....nicole joined us!

and we meet alisha there too!

janet and me... can you tell it was super hot out?!

the things we do for laughs!

the richards go like every year... it was nice to see people we knew ;)

definitely a great time with a great bunch of gals!

so that weekend we ended up seeing...

Mandesa, Leeland, Chris Tomlin the first night.

then saturday we saw everyone from...

smaller local worship bands, Bethany Dillion,
Shawn McDonald, Toby Mac, and the Newsboys!

i know that i'm missing some but it was sooo long ago i can't remember now,
and the fact that it is almost 1 am isn't helping!!!

quick trip to FL!

a weekend trip to florida was my next mini adventure. i had a banked plane ticket to use by sept so this was the best way to spend my weekend! i was able to spend some time with my aunt sue and uncle doug as well as hang with my cousin sam who attends the university of florida. here are my snapshots from the weekend...

so i got to the airport waaay to early but got to see this beautiful sunrise!

gotta love the scenery

sporting my gator pride!

this is St.Augustine... really cool place to explore

this is the old drugstore, look at what we found...some really neat soap (left me hands sooo soft)this is the spanish bakery where we had lunch, can i say delicious

these are some shots from Castillo de san Marcosthis is a presentation (i think at least 2o steps, prob more of how they shot off the cannons)charlee, sam, and me

after a day in the hot sun, we relaxed and went to the outback for some dinner

we also went into some of the shops and got silly...

the next day i had to drop off my car so i met a friend who lives in orlando
this is mayra!!! we went to VFCC together ;)

time to say goodbye, but until next time...

can i just say that the weather was soooo wonderful and i am definitely not a summer girl, but loved being in the sun for the weekend!
