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. :))

Happy Birthday Brittany Bear!

Happy Birthday B! I love you!

Just wanted to give you a shout out! I miss having you around the house! :))

Yay no more exams!

So I'm going to start a new tradition on my blog to post a bible verse and quote each day that has been on my mind!
So today I would like to share a verse with you from Galations 1:10

"Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ."

The quote that kinda goes along with that verse is
I don't know the secret to success but the key to failure is to try to please everyone!
In the past week I have been going under alot of stress with different stuff and every time I would think of this verse and quote it would give me a sense of relief and calmness!

On another note just something that has been on my heart lately! These days there are so many different things/ways to get into trouble and get wrapped up in the wrong group of friends and teens are put under so much pressure! While some people overcome that peer pressure others have a harder time finding their nitch in the right group of friends. I know personally of numerous people that have such a big heart but they want to fit in so they conform to the things of this world! Please keep these people in your prayers every day that they might find the strength to take a stand and do what's right! Also please keep the people in Haiti in your prayers as well as the people living here that have family living over there that they still don't know if they survived. I also have several friends that are without jobs and trying to support their family! I pray that they find jobs and ways to support their families!

Thats all until tomorrow! :)

xoxo,
