S'more Updates!

I am happy to report that there were bathrooms in the wilderness ;) St. Joseph Peninsula State Park was where we pitched our tent, rather than St. George Island (I got the locations mixed up in my last post). As it turns out, our location has been voted the #1 beach in the USA for the last 2-years! It was absolutely beautiful and perfect for a spring break getaway. I ate my weight in s'mores and would be perfectly content to never see another hot dog as long as I live!

Now however it is back to work, writing, and a mandatory trip to the laundry-mat as everything I own has a rather pungent memory of the campfire we spent the weekend huddled around!

Spring Break and Camping

Spring break has finally arrived and Josh and I are headed out near St. George Island with a few of his friends to camp on the beach! It should be a lot of fun, though I haven't been camping since I was 12 and therefore have the slightest idea about what to pack. Furthermore, I have very important questions, like is there a bathroom in the wilderness? And, should I bring my hair dryer? Yes, I am clueless... but excited! Stories later I am sure!

Goldfish Sparks Book Idea

Dino, my goldfish that Josh won for me at the fair several months ago, has inspired a new book idea! I don't want to write about too much as it is a very fresh idea and I want to focus on it and mold it into a better story before revealing it. Though I will say that it is inspired by the question, "What do goldfish do?" I know this is incredibly vague but I am very excited about it and had to post something! Look back here later for more updates on this!

Valentine's Day in Tallahassee

Click here to listen to the song that played when she walked in!

We are celebrating my first Valentines Day in Tallahassee. My best friend and I started it out with a bang by surprising our roommate with the ultimate Valentine. Guran works as a waitress which often means late hours and crappy shifts. Not only did she have to work the night shift the night before Valentine's Day, she also had to work on the holiday as well. So the night before while she was at work we covered the living room in everything pink we could find! Shades of pink and red splattered the walls in form of hearts, streamers outstretched from the center of the room, and red, white and pink balloons filled the floor. Nothing was left untouched by our creativity! When she got home, we had "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," sung by Elton John from the movie the Lion King playing in the background. I could go on and on about this, but I feel as if this is definitely one of those situations where a picture is worth a thousand words... or in this case, a thousand hearts! So enjoy these pictures, and Happy Valentines Day! :) I'm on my way to see Josh and go to dinner at Little Italy to celebrate!

Can you find Bruce in this sea of red and pink?

We even decorated her Fireman Calendar! ;)
