  • Life on the Road

    The past few days have been busy on the road.  Today I met a good handful of students and had a blast talking with them.  I try to keep the conversations with small groups informative but fun.  I feel like I got to know a good bit about each of the kids because of the…

  • Sunday Snapshots

    Last night was ROUGH.  I went to bed around 11:30.  My friend Victoria had spent the weekend with me.  She had arrived Saturday morning after working a night shift.  She was tired, so she had passed out early.  When I woke up wide awake around 2AM, she woke up too and we both were ready…

  • Right Interstate, Wrong Direction

    I could write a book titled “right interstate, wrong direction.”  I didn’t do it today, but it could have easily been today or any other day.  It is a theme with me.  I’m constantly finding myself on the right road, but going the wrong direction.

I’m working hard to get things in my room straight to get a desk, so maybe I’ll purchase that tomorrow. Overall, this post is mostly photos because…

  • When The Boys Hit The Beach

    When The Boys Hit The Beach

    Yesterday, my Aunt Beth, cousins, and her boyfriend Ryan finally hit the beach.  My aunt and her people tend to run on their own time frame, so I didn’t think they would ever get here yesterday.  The first thing we did is check out the sea turtle exhibit, which was a lot of fun.  If…

  • A Rainy Day at the Beach

    A Rainy Day at the Beach

    Today it has rained and rained.  We made it to the beach for a couple of hours, but I was cold so we made our way back after not too long.  After spending some time watching television, we ended up doing some shopping.  I picked up some yarn and driftwood needles, which I am excited…
