    finally


    ___________________________



    this is a view from our room we are way up on the 15th floor, wow its totally cool and the views are fabulous i can hardly believe how beautiful it is here. this was taken about 1pm.


     


     


     



    this is another view from our room. so we can see the bay, the golf course and the pool, very cool!


     


     



    this is rachael, we met her while we were jet skiing, she is the current miss teen michigan. she is totally cute.


     


     


     


     


     


     



    this is dave, he is rachael's uncle. he owns the jet ski rental place that


    is hooked up with the grand traverse resort, very nice and cool guy. his wife is a teacher, she teaches the native americans here.


     


     


     


     


     


    tthis is my angel, sarah wearing rachael's crown. isnt she totally adorable!


     


     


     


     


     


     


     



    here is my other angel, jenny wearing the crown, can you believe how huge this thing is. i dont know how these girls wear this thing, unbelievable!


     


     


     


     


     



    here is christopher my oldest riding one of the jetskiis. we rented 4 of them, i think this cost us like 1000 bucks for 3 hours. um couldnt we buy one for that? geesh. the kids really had a good time so i am glad we did it. i took one out for like 10 minutes and was bored with it. i would rather sit on the dock and take pictures. ck out the little ducks i got. i think i got like 100 pics of them.



    arent they too cutte? you know though there was like 4 females all hanging out and i never saw the male. i wonder where he was...


     


     


     


     


     


     



    this is toni, like the most awesome woman i know. she is so totally fab.


     


     



    and this is her husband, jim. he is like the dad i never had. he is a youth pastor and is so awesome, he keeps me in line. he always knows the right hing to say and you know what is totally great. he gives me the male perspective. so like if i am doing something or saying something to my husband i shouldnt he can tell me and tell me how it makes him feel. which is cool becuase since i am from venus and they are from mars, i need all the help i can get understanding these bizzare creatures. lol


    here i am having an out.of.body experience. okay not really but kinda, i love taking pictures of my shadow. and ofcourse my bag is on my shoulder, where else would it be?


     


     


     


     


     



    well last but not least this is where we are staying, the towers. it really is magnificent. i am doing the whole day spa on friday. massage, facial, nails, toes and they even have this elbow and knee treatment. i am so excited. well be cool, watch a sunset and love somebody cause God loves you and so do i. there will be more pics on late tonite.

    passion


    _________________________


    what exactly is passion.is it a feeling.an emotion.a desire.a lifestyle.i think passion is life.to me passion is an ever evolving way of living+breathing+seeing.its engulfing everything around me.taking it all in living for every breathe i have left on this earth.the old addage carpe dium isnt an addage to me.its a reality.chains bind us.what are your chains.what i hate the absolute most is not being able to sieze the day or even the moment.i watched the movie+wedding crashers+ again tonite.too funny.but something was said that to me is so very true.i dont rememebr the exact words but to paraphrase+true love is meeting that soul that your soul identifies with and longs for and does so forever+have you ever felt that.so what happens when you meet that person and your soul longs for the other soul yet there is no possible way to entertwine.what happens when your alone on the beach in the middle of a thunderstorm.
