Odd Talents

I’m hoping that this sounds both strange and relate-able. I feel like all of us have odd talents, or odd things that we consistently notice. One of the incredible things about being human is all the ways in which we can be similar, and all the ways in which we’re different. Thanks to our experiences …

Some Christmas Thoughts

I figured since my last couple posts about Christmas were kind of depressing, I’d post a couple more thoughts that are at least not quite as depressing.  I make myself sound more miserable than I really am through my songs and my posts, but it would be boring to just post about my day to …

Florida Trip – Day 9

Well, I realized that I left one photo off from yesterday. Well, last day in Florida.  Luckily our plane doesn’t leave until 7pm, so we actually had a decent amount of time during the day to hang out.  So one thing we did was go to the cemetary to visit my Grandmother’s grave.  The last …

Florida Trip – Day 8

Well since this was our last full day in Florida, we decided we better hit the beach.  So we headed to one of our favorite beaches, and by favorites, I do mean the nearest one: Pine Island. That’s my sister and brother in law on the right there. Those were seagulls that I soon scared …
