Day 22-26

So I think I got sick from all the nature while canoeing. I completely slacked off because I was not feeling well at all. I even got sent home from work...

Until I get better.

Day 21

Today, I went canoeing with Curtis' family again. We tried a really difficult run, that just about kicked my butt. We went to Juniper Springs which is absolutely beautiful however the river was very narrow and curvy.

Luckily, I had my wonderful boyfriend guiding me through the run. Thanks, babe.

Day 20

Tonight, I went to see "Wizard of Oz" at West Orange High School. I had several friends in the show so I had to go see them because most of them are graduating. It was a very good show and, honestly, you would never know they were a high school troupe due to their levels of professionalism.

I am so happy I was able to see Kalyn and Justin perform in their last show at West Orange. I have worked with them a lot and it was great being able to sit back and watch them do what they love. Great jobs, guys!

Day 19

Happy one year to Curtis and I! Today was full of new things, the most important is this is the first time I have celebrated any type of anniversary with anyone and it is the most amazing thing. I am the happiest girl in the world.

For my present, Curtis treated me to Puddy Mud which is a place where you can paint your own pottery. I chose to paint a box that was in the shape of a cupcake. I hope it turns out well, we pick them up next week. Here's what it looked like before it went into the kiln.

Curtis made something too, but I can't say what it is...just in case.

After our trip to Puddy Mud, we went to the St. Augustine Lighthouse because Curtis had never been to the top of it. This was fun sharing something new with him.

All in all, it was an amazing day and I am incredibly lucky.

Day 18

So today I finished Curtis' present for our one year together. As you know, if you go back and check day 11 (I think it's day 11), you will see that I made him a cigar box for our anniversary. I wasn't pleased with leaving the top bare so I went to Hobby Lobby for ideas.

I ended up getting Mod Podge so I could glue on memories from our first year...here's how it turned out.

Day 17

Tonight, I went with Curtis to his friend's house to study for his midterms. Even though I have met Heather and Natane before...it was great hanging out with them. I enjoyed just sitting around and relaxing getting to know the new friends I have met. They really are great girls and I am stoked to hang out more.

I'm so excited for fondue night next week with them and others next week. We'll see how that goes because I haven't ever had fondue before....

Day 16

Peanut butter cookies! I was looking through some recipes online and realized I had all the ingredients to make cookies, so on a whim, I made them. The tasted delicious but they didn't keep their shape so they turned into giant cookies. Oh well, better luck next time.

The batter:

Going into the oven:

The outcome.... oh well.
