About Breanna's Writing...

     I just posted some more of Breanna's writing as requested by so many.  If you haven't read her stuff, well, you should.  The girl is talented.  She has been writing for about 3 years, since she started taking Creative Writing at Baldwin in the 6th grade.  Back then she had some really cute poems and other writings, (that by the way, she WON'T let me post, because it's "embarrassing") but she has really matured over the last 3 years and her writing style has changed, a lot.  The first time I read her short story "Blue", I was in shock (I asked her to lengthen it because I wanted it to be longer, I wanted more when I read it -and I think you will too- She may still do that, but what I have published so far is NOT the entire short story, I didn't have time to type it all right now, plus, it will give you something to look forward to) =) .  She'd never really shared much of her writing with me before. She just didn't think it was that good.  But when we were getting ready for her interview at BTW for Creative Writing and she asked me to read some of her work to pick out the best ones to bring,  I was amazed!  So, if you haven't checked out her pages yet, be sure to.  And tell her what you think, because she still doesn't think she's that talented.  All I know is, I think God has BIG plans for my little girl, He gave her a gift, and now he's giving her the opportunity to develop it into something AMAZING.  She will be taking CW for 2 hours every day at BTW.  (Poor Mr. Dickson- jk) It will definitely be an adventure...

Back from the beach...

Back to reality is not so fun after 5 straight days off from work.  The beach was absolutely the most beautiful I have ever seen it. I am so glad we didn't listen to all the "hype" about tar balls, closed beaches, etc.  We had a wonderful and relaxing time and did NOT want to leave. Posted below are a few pictures, (I took about 600 photos while there) needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed my camera and loaner lens while on this trip! Day two I got up at 5:30 to see the sun rise over the water...only to find out the view of it was blocked by the HUGE hotel next door. =( But as I went walking down the beach that morning God "showed off" anyway and I got to see a huge stingray, lots of fish, a cool looking crab, AND some DOLPHINS! He never lets me down...
