I want God's creativity

I recently went for a trip to the beach {Destin, Fl to be exact} as a finale to the summer.. It was AMAZING!!!! I have never been to the beach, yes i know that is INSANE but coming from a large family it tends to be a bit expensive to go on vacations, so this summer I was determined to get there.

It always blows my mind about all the beautiful things in our world that God created that are magnificent! Most of the time I get too busy or caught up in the everyday that I truly forget to stop and just take it all in. Now, yes I know that Waco, Tx is not by any means anything to look at but just looking at the sky on a clear day and how many stars are out at night can be nice. It's amazing how you can really look at the world and not think that there is a God who created all of it.

I for one am going to make a conscious effort to stop and "smell the roses" more often than have been currently and really bask in the beauty God created for us to enjoy.

So back to the beach...:) I had just about the best time EVER! I would seriously considered living by one one day. Luke and I and a couple of our friends made the journey from Lorena to Florida. We stayed at a delightful condo called Ariel Dunes for a very reasonable price and will definitely be returning there on our next trip.. it's off Mirmar beach and was super pretty. We dabbled in a few of the local places and partook in some seafood of course. It rained a little while we were there and a tropical storm rolled in as we were leaving but other than that I had no complaints! We made a little detour to New Orleans on the way back to get some Beignets {haven't ever been or at one either} and WOW were they deliciousous! We made some great memories and couldn't have asked for a better time.

Here are a few pics of our little adventure;)
