last day. :-(

last full day.

more pics.

orlando continued.

so much to say, so little time. enjoy these pics!

more fun in orlando.

today proved to be quite the day. so, so many laughs. :-) here are a few pics.

we decided that we were tired of hanging out in the lobby so we decided to hang out by the pool. it was pretty good. aside from, "hi my name is kristof." and random foreign boys continuosly looking in our direction. ha ha. only a slight sunburn. pretty good for me for 2 hours of sun. :-)

we decided that renting a car for the entire week was definitely the way to go. a little pricey, but the freedom from having access to transportation 24/7 is well worth it.

we went flying. definitely an experience worth having. we couldn't really stop laughing. gotta love 145 mph wind tunnels. :-)

we then experienced our first torrential downpour and decided to buy ourselves some ponchos--pretty pink princess ponchos to be exact. i have modeled this designer wear below for your viewing pleasure. ha. :-) that walgreens run itself was quite the experience as well. "keemberlee." ha. :-)

we then proceeded to make a classic lisa and kimberly chipotle run after stocking up on junk food. we also grabbed a few movies for good measure. kinda feels like the college days again. ha.

a good beginning to a week of adventures. i am excited to see what else is in store!

adventures in orlando...

day 1

we started off in l.a. around 7 p.m. at the fly away on our way to lax.

here we are. ready for our originally 10:18 p.m., delayed to 10:50 p.m., flight. the delay provided us with the opportunity for conversation with brian, fellow passenger of our flight to orlando. i decided that my job has made me more able to talk with people from a variety of backgrounds. very interesting.

here we are in the air, almost ready to land.

finally, in the hotel lobby. just a little tired. oh, and my hair is already starting to freak out because of the humidity. fun times. ha ha.

we will be going flying later on today. peter pan style, not on a plane. pictures will follow. :-)

who do i want to be?

this is the question of the day. what sort of a person do i want to be? what message do i want my life to speak? what are my goals, hopes, dreams, future? big questions, but no so many answers. i do, however, know a few things...

-i want to live a life that points back to god as good and gracious, a life that brings him glory and leads others into relationship with him.
-i want to be a blessing and a source of encouragement to others.
-i want to love others deeply and to allow others to love me.
-i want to be different, not status quo.
-i want to have an impact on the world around me.
-i want to live a life with an eternal perspective in mind.
-i want to be who god made me to be and to follow him wherever he leads. he truly does know best.

lord, you know it's hard to do these things. life is not easy, especially the sort of life that you call us to live. praise you that you are always by our side and are desiring to provide us with all that we need to be who you made us to be. thank you that you have a plan and a purpose for each one of us. please lead us and guide us, and draw us nearer to you.

"'not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit,' says the lord." (zechariah 4:6)

thank you that we don't do this alone but according to your strength. you are good, lord. amen.
