and she's off!!!
The Girl is getting around on her own 2 feet!!!
She still would rather crawl, b/c she is better at it, but she has finally made deliberate independent steps. For the longest time, she has been holding onto anything and walking around, I thought she'd never let go! It was like she was always singing "I can't even walk, without you holding my hand..."! :)
Got a lot going on right now, our ladies group at church is organizing and hosting a ladies retreat in 2 weeks and I've got some work to do for that. I LOVE it!!! :)
I'll try to capture The Girl on video and upload that for you.... we'll see, she's pretty sneaky about walking still.

I wanna go back on vacation!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I love all the different colors of the houses. Their is even a town called Watercolor b/c the houses are all painted different colors. It is just soooo pretty!
I think we actually wore her out!!!
On our last full day in FL we drove to the town of Seaside. It's so quaint and EXPENSIVE! Somehow their beaches are even more beautiful than the ones in Destin.
This morning The Girl was NOT HAPPY to wake up to just me. She's had 11 days of waking up to both her mommy and daddy and clearly, I just wouldn't do! MAN! She is SUCH a Daddy's girl!!!

just a few...
we went to the beach yesterday, at first The Girl wasn't too excited about it, but she warmed up to the sand and the waves pretty quickly. We are going to seaside today and then back to the beach.
It's our last full day here. :( I'm not ready to go yet. :( :( :(

We had fun...
at the Gulfarium!!!
and because blogger is stupid and I'm lazy, you get to see our day in reverse!
I should have put these in a slideshow, but like I said I'M LAZY!!! ;)
I'm hoping to blog nightly so that you all can be on vacation with us. As long as I have an internet connection, I can't think of a reason why this wouldn't happen. I figure its easier to do it this way, rather than have to play catch up when we get back.
The weather was perfect, it wasn't too hot. It rained a bit at the perfect time, when we were under the canopy of the stands during the dolphin show. As long as hurricanes don't make a sharp right after the southern tip of FL, this is the best time to come to the Gulf, there are no crowds! :)
Enjoy!!!
She's a gem!
Look, I'm in a picture!
Sea lions resting after a hard day of perfoming!
Waving HI! to Daddy! (and yes, its ME, AGAIN!)
WHOOOO HOOOOO!
Even The Girl was impressed!
Rays... scary!
Her first live PENGUIN sighting... I think I see love!!! :)
Totally cool dolphin tank, I've got a lot of these.
"Just keep swimming... just keep swimming... just keep swimming"
"Fish" "Fish" "Fish"
and even more fish.

awwww thank you
I got tagged a few times where someone has listed me as a blog they love to read. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. I'm supposed to tag the people w/ blogs that I love to read and so on and so on and so on and so on.........
Here's the deal, for the most part the blogs that I read have already been tagged a bunch of times so I'm not gonna go there; or its someone who has no earthly idea who I am so there is NO WAY I'm going to let them know that I stalk their blog regularly.
But just so you know, the ones that tagged me.... well, you totally made my day! :) mmmmuwah!

I'm not good at these.
I've been 'tagged'. I've been putting it off b/c I'm not sure how to answer...
Here are the rules:
*If you are tagged, you must first post the rules:
*Write 7 strange characteristics about yourself. They interest us all!
*Tag 5 other people at the end of your Post.
*Visit everyone that you have tagged and leave a comment on their blog to let them know that they have been tagged.
I'm really having a hard time w/ this b/c what may be strange to someone else is totally NORMAL to me!
1. I love rainy days... but I don't like thunderstorms (especially at night). I think it is b/c the thunder startles me and I don't like to be startled.
2. I am a germaphobe. (I know that is not the correct word for it, but its the word I use!)
3. I have a few OCD tendencies. I've mentioned before about the thermostat and volume controls always have to be on an even number. There are more... but really, this isn't about airing someones (mine) dirty laundry! ;)
4. Somethings I'll spend money on, almost to the extent of being wasteful, then other things I can be very frugal.
5. I'm obsessive about my kitchen cabinets and drawers being organized. Yet, not so much with other closets in my house.
6. I like to keep my shoes in their original boxes.
7. While I ALWAYS want to know the directions to something, I may not always follow them, especially while cooking.
Quick story on the germ thing...
I was at a scrapbook store with a friend, they had individual eyelets and brads and other small things to buy. I picked out a few and handed them to the girl behind the counter, she opened an envelope then handed it to me and said "Do you want to lick this closed?" UM NO! your hand was just all over the clue line! EW! I went to great pains to figure out a way to close it so that stuff wouldn't fall out AND so that I wouldn't have to lick it. My friend offered to but EW! I don't want to open the envelope w/ your tongue germs on it!!!!
At The Girls bday party somehow this story came up... someone mentioned that I sound like Monk. LOL! It's funny b/c it is almost true! :)
BTW, MONK is a tv show. You can rent the dvd's. I LOVE this show!!!
Ok, now to tag...
