Thunder!

This morning as I was pulling out of the driveway, I saw the most beautiful flower ever....in OUR flower bed! I have been watering and fertilizing these lilies all Spring in anticipation of what I saw this morning! It was so beautiful! I got so excited I just had to stop the car and take a picture. God's creation is so amazing and I am so thankful for the simplest,most beautiful flower that helped remind me how good God is and what an amazing God we serve!



So this past weekend Spencer and I were in Louisville, KY for Thunder Over Louisville. Over 700,000 people were in attendance lining the Ohio River banks. Now some of yall have been asking me what in the heck is Thunder. Well, let me tell you. Thunder is the kick-off to the Kentucky Derby, which is held 2-weeks later in Louisville. It starts at 3pm and there is an air show complete with WWI and WWII planes, Blue Angles, Stealth bombers, helicopters, F-16, F-22....you name, we saw it. To finish it all off, the day ends with the nation's largest fireworks display. My grandpa's company hosts a party in a rotating restuarant so we get a panaramic view of the whole show! All the cousins on my mom' side were there with their husband and bf, my grandmother, my papaw and grandma bunny, 2nd cousins, great uncle, my parents, Allan and Betsy. It was a mini reunion! :) I have a few pictures below from the weekend...more coming! :)

Here I go...


So, I guess my first post makes it official...I am now a "Blogger." I never thought I would be one, but never say never! Don't worry (or don't be sad), I don't have any big exciting news to report like a baby is on the way or anything like that. Our baby is Bailey Mae, the miniature Australian Shepherd and you will definitely be seeing more pictures of her soon. :)


So why am I blogging? That is a good question. I guess the main reason is to keep family and friends updated on our lives in Florida, if anyone cares to keep up! And to give me to something to do while I am bored at work! Ha! :)
Spencer and I and Bailey went to North Redington Beach - just outside of Tampa - this past weekend to visit my Papaw and Grandma Bunny and my cousin Rachel and her bf Brian. We had so much fun! It is so good to see family and a familiar face.
So, there's this ice cream place there called Candy Kitchen. It is the best ice cream you will ever eat...better than Blue Bell! My mouth is watering just thinking about.....http://www.candykitchen.net
Another place we have to go while we are visiting is the Frog Pond http://http://www.mizfrogspad.com/Frog_Pond/frog_pond.htm The whole place is decorated in frogs. They have the best omelet anywhere!
Ok, that is it for now. All this food talk is making me hungry....
