back to reality.

my last 1.2 hour here in Florida has been spent packing up and blogging quick like. my last two days here have been fantastic. sun and more sun!!!! yesterday Ashlee and I hit the beach before she headed to Miami to meet up with her parents for the evening....i stayed and caught as many sun rays as possible. i left feeling very very tired and a little burnt.

fun story! while on the beach i headed into a local bar to get a drink ( i was thirsty) and ended up chatting with some men who were sitting next to me and initially thought i was feeding the birds- so they got mad at me, told me stop- and than realized i wasn't actually feeding the birds. so- we hit up conversation and i ended up with some free drinks, and some fun pictures. they were harmless old retired men, who of who was from MN. so that was fun.

i wonder sometimes why i cant strike up (and attract) men my own age....interesting.

i spent a couple hours there after the sun went down and capture some good reading time and took in some of the sunset sights...although the sun was sort of covered by clouds- but i still like the turn out.

today- i spent all day at the pool here at Ashlee's house just cuz i didn't want to waste drive time and i really didn't want to deal with sand and beach stuff...i am officially sun burnt and love it. i am ready to return to MN. i miss friends and am ready to be social again. i got loads and loads of solitude while here, just what i was looking for and what i needed. i spent many hours in the word, praying and processing life's challenges. so- all is well. and even thought i don't want to give up 80 plus degree weather for the belows...i will.
