we headed out to the ocean to enjoy the view…only apparently to see the view you have to pay an arm and a leg. lol. every where that we came across was way to expensive to park. i just can’t justify spending money on parking. yes i know that’s crazy…but i just couldn’t do it. so 3 hours later, we finally found a place to park our car…free of charge…and yes the beach was super close. hooray! so we got out…played at the beach for 20 minutes (just enough time for amory to get plowed down by a wave and want to go home)and then got back in the car to come home. lol. so these pictures are form our little adventure:) i think i have learned my lesson though. next time i will bring the $15 and park right away. hahahaha:) tfl<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497158265430280994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 318px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisdL7P43N4CFdy9CPEQMcf7hJKm3U4c7Cz9ld9fGXlWvTu4gsFO8Qn2gjmk_D6DmP8ditOdwwMMCYinh8Xk4hfBb-jmXKf6wrhPgdRtBGlRKeHb_kqrRJ79nGYF777_ci2j03dNNYRBU-T/s320/asyoulookout.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497158285777339842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPwm_m7-xJUuEPR3NKgDvkqLs1Y7zYifKi836DEEqMdzPosn9ZLiFacrqDebpQ0YAfriCowqyGoomkQOyIix9QYe15Z7YZjzao5DIbPDqbyCZ0qH2NDVlMWE8qFKSfohqGv_NyJAb02o1W/s320/asyoulookout.title.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497158273584336546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLoYXRAHaJReVkMmVB92yG-EwuvGPQB9Z6EeiypjpowL7xl-lhCcz5i8R2bkPifYfrpOndx5Mdz74mndzeEIBOW6eVClnkZTn5YjKV-nKCXnKE1TNkd5KffYoK5fSJ19zbjNw4Z1hM63BM/s320/asyoulookout.journal.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center">as you look out at the ocean, i look at you and see that you are full of wonder and beauty.</p><p align="center">almost all bobunny product:) i also used crackle accents on the letters and a rusty pickle tag.</p>Noeleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15190851866842359410noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983532998262860938.post-64756988223059072872010-07-21T23:53:00.000-07:002010-07-21T23:56:17.352-07:00bobunny:)<div><br /><br /><div><br /><div align="justify">ever since i heard that bobunny was having a design team call i have been totally torn. i’ve wanted to try out…but didn’t know if the folks over at bobunny would like what i do with their goodies. so earlier this week i threw caution into the wind and started on my bobunny stuff:) I decided that i love working with their product so what would be so wrong with having more of my projects done with a wonderful companies product?

He hadn’t really trained for this or anything. just a last minute decision. he finished in about 25 mins. i don’t actually know what time i finished as my name got left off of the list. kind of a bummer, cause it would have been a nice finishing touch to crossing the finish line…but that’s ok. it was probably around 40 mins. and i know you’re thinking i could probably walk 3 miles faster than that…and you would be right. running didn’t really become fun for me until i only started competing with myself and no one else. so for now that’s just what i’m going to do.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401844897920626098" style="DISPLAY: block;
