THE KEYS

So life has been good lately. This week has probably been one of the busiest of my life. But that's ok, I got through it, and the next week looks just as busy, but not with work thrown in there. Seven people contacted me last week wanting me to work for them, just odd job stuff.. some big, some small. I was 1. cleaning my church, 2. clearing out lake vegetation 3. shovelling and spreading a truckload of mulch 4. pulling weeds 5. mowing a few lawns 6. helping my gp's on their property, and 7. housesitting for a family in my church. Aaah, it was so crazy. And all those jobs are more than one-day kind of things, so I was doing like a mixture of 2-3 or those jobs per day. But makin' some money made it worth it.

And! To cap off the busy week. My dad and I drove down thee FLORIDA KEYS for Friday and Saturday. It was amazing. lol, even though I've lived in Florida my whole life, I have never ventured down to the Keys, never. Nor have I ever seen clear water, like they have in the Keys or places likes Cancun or Bahamas. We camped at Bahia Honda State Park, which was really nice. We were able to walk out a ways on the 7-mile bridge. They had a beautiful beach there (which was named the "Best Beach in America in 1992").. so we stayed there on Saturday. Aah and on Friday night we went to Key West.. which I didn't really care too much for. Kind of a neat city architecturally and location-wise, but the people bugged me. Everyone spoke Spanish, and there were lots of gays everywhere.. I just don't think I really fit. Haha, so we didn't stay long there. But overall, the trip was wonderful, very relaxing.

Ok, well I'm going to go read, do some laundry.. etc.
