new books!

tonight andy and i spent some time together and ventured out to daytona-the beginning of speed weeks-traffic will be terrible for the next three weeks! well we like book stores and spent a while in barnes and noble where we both got new books! andy's is a website book-so he can better manage his dreamweaver program and mine a wonderfully titled piece-the d.i.y. bride-it's amazing, full of 40 fun projects that i will use for wedding ideas and beyond!!

well that's all we've got! we hope everybody is doing good!!

update!

well, it's been nearly a week since some big changes for me and andy. last sunday there was a congregation meeting and it primarily focused on stepping out in faith. the votes were in and andy was hired full time!! his new title is "associate minister of youth and young adult" he likes to leave off the "youth and young adult". and i was hired as the part time children's minister-nothing to leave off there. we're both excited to see what this year has in store for us and the church.

thank you for all of your support as andy and i do our best to live within God's will and do what he has planned for us!

8 days of 2008

...here we are again-sometimes it's hard to find something to write about. this past week has been very busy and exciting for both, me and andy. it started out rather normal, with work and coast guard duties and time to hang out with friends.

we did get to go to EPCOT and renew our passes! spaceship earth is reopened and it's pretty entertaining at the end of the ride with a touch screen interface and then an animated future-featuring you! test track was shut down and the wait for soarin' was nearly three hours! we still had a good time and toured the countries!!

we also got good news about our job situations-after this sunday we will know for sure. andy will be hired full time as the associate minister and i will hopefully become the part time children's minister! i'm still trying to figure school out-and would love to get back and finish my degree!!

wedding planning is more underway now that we've entered 2008, and i've been looking for a spot to hold the reception dinner-i also need to decide on food for the reception-you'd think that food is usually what brings people together and i would have an easy time figuring this out...but here i am!

well, hopefully your year is off to a great start!!

we're back!

well, it's back to reality for most of us-including me and andy. we had a wonderful time visiting family. our trip home was a lot easier then our trip there. we did have an hour delay but we're back! although, we'll miss our family-it's always good to be back. today andy gave the message at church-and did a great job if i do say so myself! not much is new so here are some pictures from our trip. we pray that you all have a blessed New Year!!

Christmas 2007

we're having a white christmas!! we finally made it to portland, after staying the night at JFK-it was an experience. we finally arrived at 12:30 a.m. and the airport was completely packed! our connecting flight was canceled and we stayed on the floor with thousands of other people. around 3:30 i went to the service desk to check our flight and we were lucky enough to be on the 9:00 a.m flight to portland!! andy's brother, chris, picked us up and then we crashed at his place for a couple of hours. then we headed to new hampshire where the rest of the family lives. we had dinner and called it a night! this morning we had a wonderful time celebrating christmas. here are a few pictures of our trip so far. enjoy!!

holiday delay

Christmas time is truly a wonderful time of year. living in florida it is difficult to dream of a white christmas, but andy and i have both had our share of them. this year we get to have one again!! we are heading to maine and new hampshire. andy's family lives there and we are going to spend the next week with them!! right now we are in orlando experiencing flight delays. our original flight was to depart at 3:45 p.m. and is now pushed back to 8:20 p.m.-we then get a layover flight putting us at our final destination around 2:00 a.m. holiday travel is so much fun!!

we did have some fun at the airport-we even saw the shamu plane!! the people around the airport don't seem to grumpy(yet) but i'm sure the delays will get the best of them!
