Not Hurricane Season yet!

So today I heard there was bad weather in Tampa, but the news said it wasn't coming our way when I watched it at 8 am.  Then around 11:30 I could see it was coming our way, and as I was on the phone at work it hit!  The window by my desk was dark and I could not tell which way the wind was blowing, and every few seconds some debri would hit.  I went father into the office and was talking with co-workers about it, when I returned to my desk I had a missed call from the husband. 

He made sure I was okay and told me that a tree fell in our yard.  I was amazed and didn't know the storm was that strong.  Then he said it landed on his car.  OH NO! REALLY?  I would have left then to head home, but I had to wait until things were calm outside, and by then my husband had told me that branches and trees were down everywhere and blocking streets. So I'm supposed to finish my day at work trouble free?  When I did make it home I took lots of pictures, and as I did the tree was continuing to settle on the car.  Isn't it lovely?

Oh yea and I also came home to our power out, but it was only out for four hours.  Just came on a bit ago, but I think we are about to leave and get a drink to escape a little bit.

DARE - Week 30, Day 204

This week's Dare is to be commited to loving your spouse even if they don't love you back. Say "I love you. Period. I choose to love you even if you don't love me in return."

Getting Sick

I've been feeling sick, but my husband did not make it into work so he is helping me get things done.

This morning I used most of my energy and went grocery shopping.  I thought I made out great today, with hot dogs, cresants, cheese, fruits and more for about $18!  Saving me $47!!  I know other people are better at this than me, but I feel accomplished if I save more than I spend.  I have to say Publix taking competitor coupons really helps, and I was so excited when Winn Dixie's $5 off of $30 came in the mail!  I plan to go again this week and spend another $30 to save some more.

After I got home I felt bad for laying around the past two days and my husband and I took Flo to the park.  She got super dirty digging and running around, we never seem to stay long b/c she just runs in circles until she can't breathe.

Now I am drained of energy for the rest of the day.  So we are going to relax, and watch some Dexter.

Lazzzy... DARE - Week 29, Day 197

This Week's dare is to pray and read from the Bible, spending special time with God. 

This morning I started the book of Luke, I'm reading it to Flo. I plan to read a chapter a day, but didn't realize the 1st chapter was long, and will have to finisit later today. haha!

Yesterday we played soccer with Flo.  We thought about a walk, or the dog park instead, but I laid out three of her toys giving each one an activity and told her to decide.  I thought it was funny, she even sniffed everyone, before picking one up.
Anyway after soccer I went for a short jog, and was able to be consistent in my speed. Score!

Kayaking!

Yes, I know I haven't posted in a while.  Our dares have been about getting close with God still, which I need to work on, but I feel I am doing much better.

Today our small group met up and we went kayaking as a group.  We larned more about each other, one couple flipped, one girl almost hit a tree on the rope swing, and my Husband and I saw a gator!  It truly was a great time, and you know you've found a good group when you all decide to go out for dinner afterward!  Really was a good time.

Plus yesterday went to the beach with two of my three best friends!  My husband and friend/sister, only thing missing was Flo.  And we got the best custard ever!  And went out with my parents for dinner!

Life is just great.  Soon to be watching season 4 of Dexter.
