Florida House Hunting

more appropriately, it should be titled "still hunting for our 5th and hopefully last apartment". in anticipation for our big move to Gatorville come June, Kevin and I thought it wise to fly to Florida and go look for a place to live while he attends school. Condensed version: red-eye flight, immediate 2-hour drive to Gainesville, apartment hunting in really scary, creepy places, over-night visit with old family friends, nothin' but southern hospitality, grits for breakfast, tempting offer to "go chase them gators in the pond" (seriously), not-so-funny joke of "there's tim tebow"!, almost multi-car accident due to some crazy girl looking for tim tebow, last second find of our "to be" apartment, back to tampa to see the fam (most important part).

can't have a trip to fla. without a little sushi

jenny leigh's husband, lance, pitches for the tampa yankees,
so we went to the ballpark to watch him pitch. and get some peanuts and cracker-jacks.


my neice leila was making her big acting debut as a fairy in the community production of sleeping beauty, so the fam went to support her on her opening night. no one has ever flittered and fluttered (or whatever fairies do) as well as she did that night. we arrived a little early to the show and well, we just got a little bored. kev came up with the idea for each person to take the camera and make their ugliest face. we had one shot, and one shot only. meet my very cultivated and refined family:




here's the newest little bean to the Walden pod. meet andee.


here's the big star herself...oh, and leila, too.
