So, I was sitting at my desk just now….working away, as usual. I was honestly just soo frustrated because I have spent almost my entire day attempting to get my bank statements downloaded into my accounting software, quickbooks..to make my accounting be a much easier and much LESS time consuming process. I am having NO luck! Through all of this, I have talked to 6 customer service reps, tried everything and successfully given my entire day to this big waste of time…because the end result as of now is that, “it must just not be possible, Mrs. Strickland.” I’m soo annoyed….i think customer service phone people have a special nack for that.

It’s almost 4:00 and nothing has gotten done! Errr!

The doorbell rings…I look out the window and see my best friend, mr. ups. He comes by up to three times per day, so you can see why we share a special bond.

I go to the door expecting several pictage boxes….and there sits a 1800FLOWERS box. My day changes!:)

I open it and it’s full of amazing gerber daisies(i LOVE gerber daisies…they are just sooo happy!!) and I can’t imagine who would send these to me!?! It’s my WONDERFUL friend, Missy!!:) (www.missycarl.com, www.melissacarl.com.)

It’s a belated birthday gift and I am suddenly in a MUCH better mood!

Awww, I love my friends!!! I love you, MISS! You are THE BEST, THANK YOU for making my day! YOU ROCK!!!:) I LOVE MY FLOWERS!! (and thanks, G!)

Aren’t I the luckiest girl….

Sunsets are among my most favorite thing in the world! (that list is pretty long though) I think they are God’s way of creating art….one of His many ways!:)

I remember being in college and going through a pretty rough time…going through a breakup, working soo hard at my photographic portfolio for graduation, barely weighing enough to keep my feet on the groud…and I would drive home from Ohio and somehow, everytime I would take that 2 hour drive, the sunsets would just be soooo amazing! It was like God was just blessing me with the best view in the world for my drive home. He knew it was exactly what i needed!

I remember that soo fondly because it helped me get through that time…and keep perspective on the greater things in life…versus the small things that soo easily take over.

Ever since then, I always notice sunsets…and just love them soo much. As I told you, we were soo blessed to build our home on a lot that had an amazing view of the sunsets! It has been the greatest part of where we live! (I just wish the siloh wasn’t in every shot!) ;(

Anyway….I just had to show you the vibrant colors of this sunset! It was soo amazing!!:)
