Literally Us


Okay, here is another favorite snapshot. Both of us love this picture for some odd reason. I think because it's so real, I feel as though you can see what we're thinking. It's just so us. It was taken while we were heading to Clearwater Beach in the evening to take pictures at sunset around the beginning of the year. We had a really great time, saw a fabulous sunset and got some really great pics.

Memories


Since our digital camera is officially broken (we tried to dissect it last night and found out we are not quite intelligent enough to understand what all those wires, circuit boards, etc are) we are going to post some of our favorite pictures that remind us of great times.

Now this picture isn't exactly the best picture or the best memory, rather it's the first one I came across, but it's a delicious memory.

In the picture, we are in Paris sitting on some benched by the Notre Dame cathedral along the Seine River. On a early morning walk to the cathedral we discovered the best little pastry shop. It had the most beautifully crafted pastries either of us has ever seen. Of course, as the indecisive people we are, it took quite some time to select which tasty little treat we wanted to buy. I chose the fruity creme tart above. It was so incredibly cute, I hardly wanted to eat it. But I did. And I enjoyed.

Another frustrating update

Well, I guess us being discharged is back on....kinda. Confusing to keep track of huh? So we would have been discharged by now, but apparently Dan's paperwork was done very badly, so badly that everything has to be redone. So they told him they are working out all the paperwork and we should hear back in another 1-3 weeks, at least by the end of the month. YEAH RIGHT! We've also heard that the discharge papers might come in OUR mailbox, opposed to the airstation's. So now we are annoyingly waiting for the mail to come everyday. It's the pits. So we've officially stopped trying to plan the rest of our lives. The only thing that is in the works is grad school for me staring in Aug. I feel like all our blogs are about the same thing. Sorry! But anyways, I DID pass my biology tests, so now I'm officially accepted. I'm relieved.

On the other hand, while there is news that we might be leaving soon, we are getting sad about leaving FL, the sunny weather and the people we've met here. We've both met really great people at work and have made fantastic friends at church! But I guess it gives us a reason to come back to FL someday huh?

Summer Time!

It's summer!

Here are some pictures from Memorial Day this year. We made it out to Honeymoon Island for an hour or two to relax and play with friends. Afterwards we went to the Chapmans for a BBQ - it turned out to be a pretty good holiday.

Cheese balls
Always playing in the sand. This time Dan is playing with Taylor, one of the tannest girl's I know :)

I would also have pictures of the ward picnic, but something is seriously wrong with my camera. I'm blaming it on Dan throwing sand on me and the camera while at the beach on memorial day, but he says it's because I dropped it while at the picnic...oops! Either way, it's very disappointing. So we might be camera-less for a little bit unless we can figure out how to get to to work. :(
