Sorry it's been so long!

Yes, we are still alive! Sorry it has been so long since a post, but quite frankly, there hasn't been much to say.
We are chuggin' along into 2008 and I must say time is ticking by fast. In fact, time is flying by so fast that if we were told tomorrow we would have our referral by Christmas 2009, I'd be doing the happy dance! Just trying to stay optimistic with all those who believe "getting through the Beijing Olympics" is the ticket to the impending speed up.
The pictures above are from our most recent camping trip. We bought a canoe, tent, fire pit and various other camping items, and we decided to take advantage of enjoying Florida winters and doing things those in the north cannot. This past Christmas we camped with friends on Ft. DeSoto Beach in St. Petersburg. The above pictures are from Blue Springs which is about 25 miles west of Daytona. Silly us went driving along that beautiful Sunday morning hoping to make it there in 2 hours. Didn't exactly happen that way, as all of the sudden, traffic came to a screeching hault...it never dawned on us that 250,000 people were heading towards Daytona for the Daytona 500! Anyways, we made it to the most beautiful state park/campground. There were so many manatees in the water! You can see how close we were in the canoe. In the "lagoon" area leading to the St. John's river, they gathered in masses because the water is warm. We could not paddle for fear of hitting one of these gently giants - they were amazing! This was definitely an exhilerating experience that was so awesome even I was speechless. For more pictures you can click HERE
We hope everyone is doing well and I promise I will make an effort to post more!
