Another weekend is gone, as is the first month of 2009. Time is flying by faster than we could have imagined. In a few weeks it’ll be spring break, and we’ll be packing stuff up to move north. After that, there won’t be a whole lot left of the Florida Sellers. I added a countdown timer at the bottom of this blog, and at the time of this post, we’ve got just a little over 97 days left. And then what? Separate lives in separate states for two months, photo classes and bar exams, job searching and student loan repayments… it’s going to be a rough second half of this year. Right now it just feels great to drive the tight streets through the palm trees with the windows down out at Atlantic Beach… that’s what we did today anyway. If you can’t tell, I’m going to miss being the Florida Sellers. And I may even miss being a lifelong student… what the heck am I supposed to do in September?? No books to buy? No first day of school?? Let’s just hope I have a first day of work anyway. But enough about that, how about some pictures:
He’s doing alright, gettin’ good grades, the future’s so bright… Paul’s gotta wear shades.
One of our favorite things to do when Becky was pregnant was to walk the Riverwalk downtown. We hadn’t been in quite a while (mostly because it’s littered with unseemly characters), but it was the perfect evening and we knew we could do it before night fell, so we checked it out.
The highlight for Paul was watching the railroad bridge come down and seeing the train cross the river. He’s kind of a big fan of all things with motors and wheels. Trains, planes, and automobiles.
Also, we got to board a real life sail boat! An early 1900’s schooner from Virginia was docked at the Landing downtown and it was free to check out, so we mounted the deck hoisted the main sheets (not really, but we did pose for pictures).
Tomorrow (or technically today) means the start of week five of the semester, and next Saturday we’re headed to the farthest southern point in the continental United States. I’m sure we’ll have more to talk about then.

Paul better keep those shades on for the remainder of 2009...yeah, I can see how it might be a little scary (or a lot scary). But when you're headed into unchartered territory, that's when anything could happen. : ) Good things are right around the corner. We love you guys SO much and can't wait to see what amazing twists and turns await you. ENJOY!
Tell Paul,Grandpa Jim was wearing his shades the other day too............That big ole Montana sun shining thru our unpolluted air,almost blinding me as I drove down the highway...........Of course,there is one slight difference,when I walk into the house still wearing them,they fog over from being so cold and failing to adjust quickly enough to the warmth of the inside of the house!
It's good that we will soon have a lawyer in the family. Your Grandmother Sellers may need one if she starts "packing heat".
