i know i know i'm sorry

-Sorry dudes! It's been a while. and to top it off i'm not putting a picture on here....now that is a blog foul.
-So I just finished my first week training to be a bank teller. Crazy right. Everyone is just so nice and fun; nothing like I would of ever imagined at a bank.
-My parents are coming down next week! And they are also bringing my Aunt Donna and Uncle Jerry to PCB too! This will be such an awesome and relaxing time for all of them. Plus it will give me some fun "love" time with my family! I just miss hugging familiar necks sometimes....most of the time!
-We have fallen into the pit of cleaning the house one day and then on the go go go for the next few days and the dishes and the laundry and the dirt just piles up again. So I get to do a big clean sweep before the rents get here on Sunday! ahhh
-Todd has once again managed to work everyday for the past 2 weeks or more. He is such a hard worker and dedicated. I'm ready for him just to sit it down and play some golf or something less stressful.
-the other sad part about this week...I haven't even picked up my camera! Now that is just unacceptable behavior! I promise I am going to go out Saturday and be a photography freak at Thunder Beach! If you don't know what Thunder Beach is, you will have to check back to my blog in a few days to see all it's glory!
-Survivor started!!! yeah. This year I"m gonna do something I've never done. I'm going to pick my winner...now this is someone I think will play all the way to the end. Not that I love this player or am a huge fan, but I think after the first 2 episodes of watching that Charlie from NY will take home that $$. But by the time the 39 days are over, I'm going to be sick of watching his hands and fingers move around like a little fairy. On the other hand, I want Bob the Physics teacher to WIN! So far he is my favorite! Oh and just one more thing about this year...the underwear boys....stop it...I don't want to see it...Put IT Away!
-signing off. bye my loyal blog readers!

Travis Montgomery

Today is my Picture of the Day day....but I'm going to actually blog instead.

My cousin, Travis Montgomery has a passion for music and the Lord. Travis has produced a demo and you can check it out on his myspace page:
http://www.myspace.com/travismontgomerymusic
Travis and I took a few minutes before I headed down to Florida to capture a few shots for his up and coming adventure. He is truly talented with a good heart. I hope you all take a second to check out his music. He writes his own lyrics, plays guitars, drums, and who knows what else. All I know is that he composed/produced his demo by himself and to me that sings TALENT.
Good Luck Trav!

picture of the day - home

This is our home...well at least one wall of it. Actually it really sums up our house. Bamboo floors, stair case with not so cool railing, and an opening to our bedroom . And my new Hawaii collage I just finished! Oh and the most important part of the room....the computer area! Where all this amazing computer-blog-picture stuff happens. Enjoy my picture for the day!!!!

Fall in Florida

Fall is here...well at least the date says it's fall time, with Football on tv, and with the day starting off with 40 degree weather (in Cabool). It's fall. The only part of fall I see so far in Florida is dead palm tree leaves underneath...is that fall....or is that just dead leaves that need to leave...lol


I must say I love fall. The colors, the smells, the jackets, the warm apple cider at open houses! This is going to be quite an adjustment for me. Last year we racked up leaves for Logan to play in and for me to capture with my camera! It was so much fun, as you can see from the collage below. Florida in the Fall....what is that going to be like??

Picture from today

Along with getting in shape Todd and I are also going to be posting a picture for the day sort of thing. Since I posted today, he will post tomorrow...however we will still post our usual blogs also. Don't forget to check back to see what the picture might be tomorrow!!


This Eucalyptus bush is found outside our front gates to our new place. It smells so good! I have never seen an eucalyptus bush before now; I have only seen eucalyptus in arangements that Mom has made.

lots of waves

As Hurricane Ike rolls into Texas, the strength of the winds still reach us in Panama City Beach. The winds are strong (can u say wind-blown hair everyday!), the waves are huge, the sandy beaches are left with no room to play in the sand. Just when you think you are in a save place on the sandy beach you are struck by a wave rolling um rolllliinnnngggggg onto shore. Just check out my jeans...I thought I was safe....Guess not...the water rolled up to my knees.


From the 17th floor of the Harshman's condo you can really see the strength of the waves. That's right strong waves with great friends! Adam, Angela, and Braden are in our town this week. We have been able to hang with them a few days and last night we enjoyed the sunset, good conversation, pizza, and a movie. We were so excited to find out that they were actually vacationing in our town so seeing them was a must....and it has been so much fun. Thanks for coming to see us!

I LIVE HERE

I thought it was very interesting the other day when Todd and I took a drive along the bay and all the trees were covered with Spanish Moss. How gorgeous! Just look at the difference of the Missouri Trees and the Florida Trees. Not that all the trees in Florida look like this or vice versa, but it was a 'Paige observation'.

Of course Florida is covered with Palm Trees!!! My favorite tree ever! They just make me happy. Like this sidewalk along the bay. So cute and fun. I am still pinching myself because "I Live Here!!!"

And for the picture of the year....that could of been. See the birds in the upper left corner....how cool if they were actually in the picture...oops....I was busy focusing on the sun to notice the birds. Then later this same day, Todd and I were busy playing our new favorite beach game, Paddle ball, two flocks of geese flew over our heads in a perfect arrow form. But too lazy to go grab my camera....because once again....I LIVE HERE!!
