I'm posting to say that as of now, there is nothing new and exciting that has gone on recently. The most exciting part of my day was playing in the pounding rain today! Now I'm soaked, but satisfied :) The rest of June doesn't really have anything exciting going on, but something could always happen unexpected.
I hope to have a better post soon. Thanks for hanging in there everybody! (If there's anybody left :P )

We're finally home! I had a lot of fun, and I must say that last week was one of the longest weeks ever. :P I really enjoyed the beach and Fl in general. We stayed in our condo from Saturday, to Friday. After we checked out, we drove to on of my mom's friend's house and stayed there until Sunday morning. We left her house and started driving so we could go to church at the Orlando church, Metro Life Church. After church we got a quick bite to eat, then we got on the road and started the 8 hour (approximately) trip home :)
We pulled up to our house at around 9:15 P.M., and once we all unpacked, all of us kids went to the pool to cool off. All in all, it was a long, but very enjoyable week for me!
Since I'm too lazy to sort through all my pictures, you can see the rest of my beach pictures
here (If you so desire ;) Sorry, a lot of the night ones were so blurry because I got sand and water on my camera lens =[ The waves splashed up on us a lot at night hehe
Well we made it to FL! We left after my race at around 9:15 and arrived to FL at around 5:30 p.m. My race went well, but a few minutes after I ran it I started feeling really sick to my stomach. So I tried to eat a banana and drink some juice, but I felt like I was going to throw up! So I ran inside the clubhouse straight to the bathrooms. I ended up not throwing up, but I wanted to make sure I wouldn't in the car later ;) The trip went well, and for the most part the weather stayed sunny and HOT. at around 3:00 it started raining really hard, and it never stopped even after we got to our condo. Later the realtor lady said that we drove in during a tornado and that was the reason for all the rain and lighting hehe. Well we have been to the beach every day so far and it's beautiful! The sand is a little hard though, because of all the rain. All of us got sun burned pretty badly yesterday even after reapplying spf 45 everal times. :P
Well no pictures for now because the computer we need is dead right now.
I might post sometime later during this week.

A good amount of time has gone by since I last posted. That's mostly due to a lack of motivation to post again, and the fact that nothing major has happened since then. Well, to break that cycle, I bring you these wonderful news: We're leaving to FL tomorrow! This was sorta a last minute "vacation" that my mom and I conjured up. We all have been craving the beach, and since I've never been to FL, I was happy to oblige. Aliya and my dad are staying home, however, due to their Bolivia missions trip, and the fact that they have to work. So, as sorta a "replacement" we are taking Maggie with us instead. She is as overjoyed as we are about staying on the beach. :) We got a good priced condo that's about a 2-5 minute walk to the beach, and I'm
hoping that the condo is a nice place to stay. (I'll see if I can get some pictures up on here while we're gone.) Anyways, I'm leaving tomorrow morning to FL for a pleasant and relaxing week (If the weather holds up! If you think of it, please pray that we don't hit too many thunder storms this week). Also tomorrow is my long-awaited 5k race. For those of you who don't know, that's 3.1 miles. It's a run/walk race, however, so I feel I'm in good condition to participate ;) I'm hoping to get under 36 minutes (that was Elle's time a few weeks ago) but other than that, I'm hoping just to finish the race at all! To top off the crazy week we just got through, we have been keeping Charlie W, while his family is off at the beach. He's a cutie, and I love having him, however, he does have a lot to say. If one of our dogs doesn't play with him he starts getting worked up and barks non-stop for about 5 min. hehe. Other than that he's a sweetie, and I always enjoy having him!
So that's basically it. Consider yourselves updated on my life.
Here's a nice picture of Charlie, and I hope to post again soon!

P.S. Thanks to anybody who read all of that!
Finally summer vacation has started for me! I just finished the last of my school yesterday, and I feel so relieved now. This week we have been to the pool almost every day. The weather finally turned from rainy and cloudy to bright and sunny: a perfect pool day :) Sunday was our church picnic, and surprisingly I didn't find it too hot. I have also been watching the G's dogs, Treasure and Leia this week. I love them and I hope to have some pics up of them soon ;). I also got my running shoes today! I love them!! I'm going to be training over the summer for different races, and eventually I want to train for a marathon. :) I'm hoping to participate in a 5K race on June 13th, but we'll see if I can train enough to run it.
That's all for now! It's 90 degrees out right now, so I'm staying inside :)
*For some reason my computer won't load my pictures, so I can't post any right now! I'll try to post them as soon as possible :P
