How is it July already?? Where did the first half of this year go? Unbelieveable.

The first 6 months of 2008 have been such a rollercoaster already, I can't even imagine where the next 6 months will take me.

But you can bet me and my camera will be along for the ride!

( the last week of the first half of the year )

So... I really meant to start keeping up with my weekly photo posts, but the past two weeks have been rather insane for me ( Read more... )

I've been thinking a lot lately about how much I've changed in the 8 years I've been here in Orlando. If only my high school self could see me now... haha. and I've changed a lot just in the past few months... the new friends I've made since January are simply amazing and I can truly be myself around them. I haven't felt this comfortable with ( Read more... )

This week kinda flew by... which is nice. I'm totally loving this cooler weather. I've had my windows open the past few nights and I can dig up my long-sleeve shirts and sweaters now. I like my winter wardrobe so much better ( Read more... )

This weekend was pretty great. I got out of work early on Friday and headed across town to pick up Simon, George, Kathy (George's sister) and Bri (George's gf), then we headed to Gainesville. We were going there to see Ron White. Traffic was better than expected and we made great time. We had a quick dinner then headed around the corner to the UF ( Read more... )

I can't believe my vacation week is over and I have to go back to work tomorrow. I so do not want to go back. ugh.

Anyway, mom and dad came up Friday afternoon. They gave me my first two presents, a giant picture frame and tickets to the race in November at Homestead. Then, they said we needed to take a little road trip to get ( the third present... )

So the final decision has been made to total the truck. I had to go back to Irish Mike's today to get the last of my personal belongings and take the tag off the truck. I didn't break down and cry, but my eyes did well up and my hand was shaking when I signed the release form. It was hard. But it's over and done with now. At least they let me take ( Read more... )

No news about what the insurance companies are doing with my truck yet... Hopefully we'll have an answer soon. Daddy came up last night with the Blazer since he wasn't able to sell it yet, so at least I don't have to worry about a rental car right now. Mom had already been here since Thursday night, and today we went to Smokey Bones for lunch with ( Read more... )

( all banged up )

As a few of you have heard, I was in a car accident today. I am in one piece and for the most part okay, aside from a pounding headache and some leg pain. My truck is not so okay. I was rear-ended pretty hard by a newer F-150. It happened out on Colonial, just past Forsyth going west. I ended up skidding down into a muddy ditch. My bumper is bent ( Read more... )
