Tuesday morning, I flew out of Abilene at 6:45 a.m. bound for Florida. We went to the beach that night and got some ice cream and watched the sun set...

...went to the beach again on Wednesday where we all got nicely cooked...
it is so beautiful. i could really get into the vacation thing.

there were seashells everywhere, all broken of course.

Ammi and Amanda colored my hair blue, green, magenta, purple and some other colors It looked so cool. Just trust me. ;) I wish I had a picture. Church. John, Ammi, Andrew and his sister came over after church. Wow.

Thursday we went to the mall. John saved the day by buying a charger for my camera batteries at radio shack. What kind of "photographer" leaves home without a battery charger? Thanks John, I really owe you. I had crab legs for the first time that night and met a "french" waitress. (She was from Estonia, haha!) Hey, did ya'll know you crack open crab legs with these things that look like pliers? The whole seafood scene was new to me. *blushes* Thank you Mrs. Catarzi! :) We also went to the marina...

friday we went skydiving.

13,500 feet up. Sixty second freefall at 130mph. Parachute opens at 5,000 ft. I landed on my feet.
It was the funnest, greatest, most amazing, fantastic thing I have ever done in my life.
It wasn't even scary. If you get the chance, do it! I LOVED IT.

Friday afternoon Chris and Joe tried to teach me how to skimboard. I did really bad, and bruised and banged up my knee, but it was cool. Next time I will keep trying til I get the hang of it.

Saturday I came home. I'm really tired...REALLY tired. In two weeks I suppose my Verity adventures will begin. That right there is enough to make one feel pretty...sober. It's so far away. And so different.

Your sister is really cute. That must be why she always ends up on the COMMIT table.

I get a kick out of the fact that you haven't had seafood. I'm not sure why but I do.
I think I would go skydiving but it would be really hard for me to muster the courage. You are a brave woman. ;-P

Man....skydiving sounds AMAZING. I'm quite jealous actually. (Today we went to a local fair, and I went on this ride where you kinda lie on your stomach and it makes you feel like you're flying. But it wasn't anywhere close to 13,500. hahaha.)

Things are going well. I'm still 'working out of the Barracks'. Not too far away. It's good...better than what I was doing. How's it out in west Texas? Dry?
