Lots O' Visitors

Ok, ok....now I know that I don't have a following of thousands or hundreds....or even 10 for that matter, but I know it's been a looooong time since I've put up a blog. I've just been busy with some awesome guests while getting the most out of living in Orlando. The Sanders Family came down to celebrate Andie's 18th birthday by going to Disney World. For those of you who do not know the Sanders Family, Andie was in my choir at Hillgrove the past 3 years and I have become wonderful friends with her whole family. Michelle and Bundy sponsored me for my Tres Dias weekend and I have felt so much love from them over the years. Going to Disney with them has become a tradition and it is always so much fun to storm the Magic Kingdom with people who love Disney as much as I do.

They got in Friday night September 11th and we all went to the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party where most people were dressed up and the park was decorated for fall. The best part was that we got to go trick or treating inside the park. They gave away the good stuff too! Here are some pics from that fun night.

Andie in her Tinkerbell costume and I in front of the castle.

Andie looking at the castle....I loved the innocence of this shot.

Me and Baloo from The Jungle Book. He liked to cuddle.

These were some of the decorations throughout the park.

The next morning was Andie's real birthday. We all met at the Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom to have a character breakfast to celebrate. We had to be in the park by 7:50 a.m. so we definitely had a lot of coffee! The park was not open yet so Main Street was almost totally empty. That is something I have never seen.

I loved this picture of Michelle and Tigger!

Andie made a shirt to wear on her birthday. I totally agree, I'm never growing up!

Just being silly in the line for Philharmagic. It's one of my favorite rides at Disney.

Later in the weekend, I got to take some of Andie's senior pictures at the Disney Boardwalk. Here are a few of my favorites.

I had so much fun with the Sanders Crew. I cannot wait for Thanksgiving when they come back down to have fun again. They are some of my favorite people!! Love you guys!!

Last week my good friend Ashley Johnson came to visit. We had a really good time exploring some places that I have never been. We went to Sea World and Busch Gardens and rode some awesome coasters. Ashley also let me take some pics of her so here are a few of my favorites.

Ashley is an awesome photographer so when she told me she liked these pictures, I was super excited! Thanks for visiting me my friend! I love you!!

I keep saying that I will be a better blogger, but honestly...I may not. I try to write when I have something to say and sometimes it just takes me a while to have something to say. Tiffany and I are still looking for a job, but we are keeping busy with much searching and we are participating in the Singing Christmas Trees at First Baptist Orlando. I have directed choir for so long that it is fun to just get to sing. Plus I need to keep up my chops =) I also have some leads to start teaching voice lessons and substitute teaching so we shall see. I keep waiting for something to just "work out," but it is taking longer than I thought. I guess that's why God makes the plans and I do not. It's been a nice long break...but we are ready to work. Keep us in your prayers if we come to mind. Also, pray for the people in Atlanta, GA and Burkina Faso, Africa. They have had some horrible rain and the flooding is becoming a problem. People are losing homes and crops. I love you my friends from all over the world!

Thanks for reading!!
