Shopping, Twirling, Singing, Birthday Cake, SplishSplash & Sunshine

Wow! There is never enough time in one day to accomplish all that we may hope to.
Sorry I have neglected blogging lately!
We are busily getting everything ready for prom this coming Saturday! I am so excited!

After many, many, many years of being the little sister and/or cousin and watching Britt, Becca and Rach get all "pretty" and take pictures and go to prom I can finally say "My time is here! & I am the one getting all dressed us up and taking pictures!" (:

So to catch my bloggers up on the going-on's of my life!
A few weeks ago I had my spring break which was very busy but I loved every minute of it! Every day was filled with awesomeness! (:

I went on the bike trail with Nick on Friday, which I posted about in my last post! Then I headed down to Plant City to spend the weekend with Britt and Forrest! I had a great time! I love spending time with them! I have the utmost respect and love for them and they have had such a huge impact on my life! (:

Me & B went shopping on Saturday and had a girls day!
Then that night I went swing dancing for the first time! && I loved it! It was soooo much fun! I cant wait to go back next time! (:

Sunday I went to Little Union and got to chill with my PC crew which is always great! and then after that Britt and Forrest picked me up and we went to Mema's Birthday Party and then we came back home and watched New Moon! (:

Monday I went to go babysitt with Britt! I fell in love with those boys! They are so sweet! I had a great time making memories with Britt and playing with the kiddos! Then I headed back to the A-town and Nick came over to the house and when I opened the door to let him in I see this adorable boy standing there with pink roses in his hand! (: That was the sweetest thing ever!

Tuesday I was back home and went on a photography excursion with some good friends of mine! We had such a fun time & got some awesome pictures! (:

On Wednesday I went bowling with Momma, Nick, Nick's Mom and Stephen. Oh goodness that was crazy! We had a really great time and made countless memories! (:

Thursday was Nicholas day! (:
We went to the pool in his neighborhood and had a picnic by the pool and just let the warm sunshine soak in! (:
We went to go visit my Granny in the assisted living so she could meet him then we went back to his house to hang out!
He gave me this letter/poem he had written and asked me to prom! (: It was so sweet!

Friday me, Momma and Nick headed to the beach for the day!
We had a good time relaxing and playing in the water and making (attempting at least) sandcastles! (:



Look back tomorrow for more updates on what has been going on in my life since I last posted! (:

I've been to other side of the world and back!

Okay so I havent literally been to the other side of the world and back but it sure feels like it! (: Yesterday me and Nick went on the bike trail! We started in Clarocona-Ocoee and went to Winter Garden, stopped to eat lunch and take some pictures and then headed back! All together we rode 20 miles!!
Man oh man neither of us had a problem getting to sleep that night! haha. Although we were exhausted we had a great time and would do it all over again if we could....well maybe give us a month or so to recover first hahaha jk (: We had a blastttt! I love hanging out with him and being able to get to know each other! It's crazy to see just how much we have in common! (: I'm really looking forward to prom and GradBash in the next month! (:
I am in Plant City spending the weekend with B & Forrest! Me and B went shopping today and had a great time catching up and just enjoying each others company! Tonight I am going swing dancing with my PC crew and I am so excited! All of them have gone multiple times and have loved it so I'm happy to finally be able to go with them! (: But as of right now, me and B are headed down to meet Forrest and Adam at the pond down from the house and go fishing for a little bit! (:
Me and Nick
The sun was soooo bright & in his eyes! But I still think its a great picture!

We went over to Grandma's house after riding the trail to visit them for a little while and just rode around on the golfcart and showed him the nursery and the horses! (:





Nick wants to be a firefighter so it was awesome that they had an old firetruck in Winter Garden!! (:

Yep that's Nicholas for ya! Never a dull moment with that kid! (: But I'm not complaining I love it!

I can almost hear the waves crashing on the shore now! (:

So I will most likely be posting on this every day now with pictures from the day or from a recent event! (:
B and Forrest came down this past weekend for Lauren and Michael's bridal shower (click the link to see the post that B did about the shower! All those pictures on the post are mine so I figured I would just link it to hers instead of just posting the same pictures on mine!) The shower was great! & I think everyone had a great time! As always I enjoyed the time I got to spend with Britt and Forrest! I miss having my sister around sooo much! Life is getting busier and busier as the year goes on and I feel like me and B hardly get a chance to talk because either I am busy and cant talk or she is busy and cant talk! So needless to say I love it when we have the opportunity to hang out together!
Daddy playing with his granddog Lex! That dog is so spoiled! Oh my word! Dad loves that little dog! I cant even imagine how he is going to treat grandbabies! hahaha
Tonight I am going out to eat and then to the baseball game with Nick! (: So I will post pictures of that in the next few days!

I have been spending alot of time babysitting these two munchkins! I love them to death! They both have very distinct personalities and I love getting to play with them and watch them grow up right before my eyes! (:

I will be in Plant City from Friday night until Monday night so I'm not sure if I will be posting until after I'm back. So if not I love yall and be safe! (:

Oh Sunshine How you Make Me Smile

So I still am in some what of a disbelief that I'm only a week away from my Spring Break and it is still pretty chilly here! What is up with this??

(Me & Nick got to spend alot of time with Caroline & her boyfriend Stephen at the meeting! )


Seriously people I live in the SUNSHINE STATE!!! Not much sunshinin' going on here lately! haha.


(I love my sister so much! & I miss her like crazy!)


But anyways life has been absolutely amazing for me lately! I have been so incredibly blessed with the family and friends that the Lord has placed in my life!

(Nick & I at church on Saturday. It was so great for him to come with me!)
We have had several awesome weekends around here with our church meeting last weekend and then this weekend Britt and Forrest staying with us and Lauren's bridal shower! (:

Over the next few days I will try to update my blog with all the events that have happened! But today I will try to sum up the weekend of our annual meeting.


I will start off by saying thanks to those who supported Little Zion and attended the meeting. and for those of you who were unable to attend WOW you certainly missed a blessed meeting!
We were blessed all weekend with two awesome preachers who I look to with utmost respect! Elder Hugh Sanders, or as I will most likely wind up referring to him later in the post "Uncle" Hugh, and Elder Jon Mizell were our invited ministers! I love these two men dearly and it was great to be able to sit around and talk with them and have a good time!




(Me & Syd with Jon, Uncle Hugh and Elder Mark)


Jon thanks for the dating philosophy ( or as Jon pronounces it FIL-O-SO-FY! ) and of course Thanks to Uncle Hugh for the wonderful commentary! (:

Rain Rain Go Away



Its very very rainy and yucky here today!
Bleh....I hate this weather! it's like it cant decide if it wants to rain or not! So instead we get a slow drizzle all dayyyy. :(
So anyways today was a very long day at school.
I really dont know why though nothing sad or depressing happened but yeah I think it was partly due to the darn rain that made me want to go home and sleep! haha
That is one good thing about the rain though its GREAT for taking naps.
So it's not as easy to post every day as I thought it would be! :)
Life has been crazy in the Ulmer house.
But I wouldnt have it any other way!

So since I last posted what has happened?

The Cagles visited Little Zion as well as Kerry and Matt and their kiddos :))
Daddy's heart cath showed that he had no blockage. :)) Thanks to all who were keeping him in your prayers! We appreciate it!
FFM was great! && met alot of awesome people. It was so great to see so many people there that I hadn't seen in a while. At meetings like these there is never enough time to catch up with all the people you want. :( I tried to get to as many people as I could but before I knew it the meeting was over. :( Which on the subject, I hate hate hate goodbyes! Especially saying goodbye after a great weekend together all the while knowing that you wont see each other for another year! :(

I'm not going to go into details on the blog but I will say that I am so grateful for our awesome and forgiving God that is always watching over us. This past month has been a very trying time for me. But our never failing God gave me the strength once again to get through the trials I was faced with. I can deffinitely say that after this month I have learned alot and have become a better person for them! I have had a "come to Jesus" meeting and have gotten my priorities straight. :))
