Florida Bound!

Hello, hello, hello! I know it's been so long since I have written, but if you read my previous posts, you'll know why I was too busy to post.
Back in mid to end of April, I went to Florida with my sister Olivia and Mom, for two weeks. What a time we had. We made many good memories together and Olivia and I packed as many "firsts" in those two weeks as possible. A few of those firsts include, flying, fishing, parasailing and going through the airport by ourselves on the trip back since mom left after the first week.
We had such a good time, and I am glad my sister made such an effort to make it happen. {thank you Olivia!!}
I will include the best pictures I have and I hope you enjoy them:)
A couple things I learned while down there are:
One- just because you have three girls from the same family doing something together, doesn't mean they all agree on what is "fun". But despite we all had different opinions, we worked together to have a grand  time:)
Two- I really like fishing!
Three- I really like flying:)

Sunset on the beach that first night
 
Walking on the beach is something I love to do- as long as the beach isn't crowded;) 
 
The market was one of our favorite places!
 

 
We went to see God's Not Dead 2; that is a movie well done y'all:)

We liked to swim at night after the "crowds" we're gone an the sun had set:)

The water is extremely clear down there!
 
Big puffy clouds...I was always hoping that they were bringing a thunderstorm;)
 
Sweet Berries Ice cream always helps cool you down:)

We had a great time and I'm thankful we had two weeks to spend together. :) 
Until next time,

Passing unnoticed

Sometimes it seems like life moves very slowly, and other times it seems that it moves very quickly. It seems that the opposite of what I want, happens. If I wish for it to move slowly, it moves quickly, and if I wish it would move quickly, it moves slowly. Nevertheless, the past 5 months have come and gone like a flash. I can hardly believe January is almost over. I realize that there may be very few people who read my blog; perhaps a lot of that has to do with how infrequently I write. ;) But I was thinking about what I might blog about and looking through pictures... I guess it is really the little things that make up a beautiful life. It's the little things everyday that make fond memories. I tend to be so task oriented that I forget to stop and notice the dew drops on the flower, the frost patterns on the window, the unique sunrise... the smiles which are flashed at me every day. And then- suddenly these precious times are gone. It's a new stage of life, the things w...

Reminders

When I stop to look at the beauty all around, I am amazed that God loves me as much as He does! His creation is so much prettier than I am... It does not sin!  But God wants a relationship with me and because He wants that, He sent His Son to die- for me. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them:) Let us not forget why we are here.  Until next time,  Elise
