Coming home soon....

So i've been in Florida for about 3 1/2 weeks and have spent alot of that time at a pool or a beach despite the fact that we've had alot of crappy weather since the first week i was here! Yay for typical Florida summers, where it's sunny one minute and a lightning storm the next. I'm leaving Port Saint Lucie thursday night and staying in cocoa for the evening...then early friday i am driving to Virginia with 2 of the guys from cocoa for beautiful Christy's wedding :)

This trip has been super interesting, and super super challenging for me...as i knew it would be before i came here. I honestly had no idea why i was come back to Florida instead of going into the 3rd world this summer. In my mind it was to help my family...felt like i could change things i guess. Just in the last week the Lord has been showing me why He really brought me here. Last summer i began praying that the Lord would bring me to the root of some of the problems from my past. Co-depency being the main thing. I knew, and know that i've been healed from all the things from me past...but also know i haven't been able to experience that freedom to it's fullest without getting to the root of it all...So this summer I was brought back to Florida to confront it face to face...I don't want to go into detail on this thing, but i know that I can't change people. I can only change myself. I can forgive, and i can move on. It's been hard, as i knew it would be once i began seeing the root of things, but it's good. I thank God for His faithfulness.

That being said...i can't wait to get back to colorado...i have a crazy month in front of me, trying to figure out living, and job situations and such...but i'm excited to see God's provisian :)

Florida, and Tyler-isms :)

I have been in Florida for about 9 days now. It's going quite well..I've enjoyed seeing familiar faces, and i've enjoyed the BEACH. :) i thought i would go ahead and start making a list of tyler (my 5 year old brother) quotes...i'm sure i'll be able to build on it for the next couple of weeks :)

1) "look! I got a dollar!!!! jason gave it to me...Just for licking my foot!"

2)Tyler: "I have to poop so bad!!!"

Me: "We're almost home..just hold it"

Hayley: "Tyler can you hand me that book??"

Tyler: "I can't! I'm too busy consentrating on squeezing my butt cheeks together!"

3) mom: "You guys are going to hate each other by the time you go back to colorado" (talking about Hayley, tyler, and me)

Me: "we aren't going to hate each other"

Tyler: "I already don't like you" (hahaha)


More to come later :)
