Hello EVERYONE!!!!!
So wow its been FOREVER! Sorry!
I was not blogging about all of our family excitement because it was a total surprise to Cory's Family and I wanted to make sure they didnt find out. It was like TOP SECRET Moving information.
Well Cory and I have officially driven from Boca Raton Florida ALLLLL the way through to Oakley California. We stopped off in LAS VEGAS for the Family surprise and some MUCH NEEDED R&R.
I Just wanted to take a Minute and say HEY!
I dont have all of the pictures up and going yet BUT.... I will soon enough.
PICS TO COME: Last night in Boca, Our Adventurous (to say the least) Road Trip, LAS VEGAS, OUR NEW HOUSE, and last but not least our NEW chapter in life!
STAY TUNED FOR MORE EXCITEMENT!

A Little Bit of EVERYTHING Wonderful!
So I guess maybe our life is a bit boring. I never seem to have cool and exciting things to update on. Well to keep it interesting, we have been experimenting with fun outdoor summertime activities to have fun with.
I don't have many pictures, but The stories are still fun!
I have never been to a Flea Market, EVER. Down here in Florida it is like the COOLEST thing ever I guess. There are SOOO many flea markets. FINALLY Cory convinced me to try it out one Saturday. We went to the biggest outdoor flea market located in South Florida. We got about half way through before we dropped dead with exhaustion from the HEAT and the lack of H2O. But not before we picked up a STEAL on a practically brand new Microwave for my office only $9.00! And to my surprise IT ACTUALLY WORKS! and WELL too! I felt like such a pro! It was exhilarating.
After that we went back that night to the Drive-In Theatre that was located on the Swap Shop grounds. We went and saw UP. It was the CUTEST most adorable animation since Nemo or Incredibles. I totally Balled for the first 15 minutes. It was really a sweet great movie. PLUS a LOT of FLYING! That Made me happy! :D
Then the Next weekend we went on a Stake Temple Trip. It was FANTASTIC. We had to drive up to Orlando which was difficult, but the intense Spiritual Experience was Worth it! There were over 350 stake members in attendance. It was a great time.
We also have survived our First week of Hurricane Season with little rain! It is helping us all be VERY hopeful about the upcoming months of potential storms.
At the office here sometimes we get these people that come around selling things. I usually never buy, but this little grandpa came by with these Orchids that he grows and sells at Home and Garden shows. They are special Orchids and they are award winning as well as last for up to 50 YEARS! It is really BEAUTIFUL and it makes me smile during the day here in my office.
Hopefully More EXCITING, Interesting and FUN Posts from The Griffin's coming soon.
P.s Congrats to Robin Van Dusen and Britta Andrus on their upcoming Baby Births! One Baby Girl and One Baby Boy! SO EXCITING! Good Luck!

New (or) Continued Family Company
Well the Griffin's have started a NEW Family Company. Griffin Advertising.
For those of you who know Brie's Parents and what they do you might have a good long giggle at the hilarity that is US starting our OWN Advertising business, But hey " Find Something You LOVE to do and learn how to make money doing it"! I know how much fun working with Phoenix Marketing was for all those years, and Cory is VERY skilled in creating Ad's for companies, so TOGETHER we are a fairly good Advertising pair!
So We are almost completely official. The LLC paperwork is coming together and the excitement is building. Cory has a few clients already that he has begun working with to design their websites. TAKE A LOOK! www.griffinadvertising.com and www.greenpowerbox.com
We are working on specializing in EVERYTHING from WEB DESIGN to SEARCHLIGHTS!!!
We are so excited and amazed that this is actually happening. We sort of keep thinking we are a bit silly beginning a company in these economic times, but then again what better time. We have LOW overhead and pretty good experience between the 2 of us. PLUS we have Phoenix Marketing, Doug and Rebecca to give us the BIGGEST tips and do's and for sure DONT'S.
We are thrilled and ENTHUSIASTIC about this opportunity and we really hope that it TAKES OFF ;) LITERALLY maybe!!!! We are praying for the blessing from the Lord to help continue to make this business profitable for us. It would be WONDERFUL to continue in a "Family Business" Footsteps.
So 2 Second plug: If anyone would like to have their website REDESIGNED or DESIGNED from scratch Cory is really pretty good and willing to do it for a GREAT deal to help build our Company Portfolio. Up to 10 Pages and a Logo Design for $199.00.
Enough Self Promotion.
SUMMER has officially begun here in South Florida. I mean REAL summertime! It is almost 90 EVERY single day. Not like the NICE 90 degrees but the HOT, STICKY, humid kind of 90 degrees. Oh and thats not even the worst of it. Starting around 11-12 in the afternoon the Thunderstorms start to build. They build and BUILD until they EXPLODE ALL over the place. Pouring H2O all over the usually BEAUTIFUL South Florida landscape.
I think the FUNNIEST thing about the rain is that people honestly LOOSE their heads. Traffic comes to a stop, Cars spin, People drive about 25 MPH on the FREEWAY and those people are mixed in with the people who continue to drive outrageously fast at about 90MPH. Needless to say accidents PILE UP when it rains.
Also concerning is the HURRICANES. In about 5 days and counting HURRICANE season begins. Time to stock up, get prepared, make sure we have plenty or everything, and GET SMART! What sucks the most about this time of year is the usually GORGEOUS flying weather is GONE. GONE with the wind or the rain in this case. It is sad! If we do not have flights in early in the morning we dont fly :( BIG bummer!
SO here is to my Friends in TEXAS as well as those in Florida and Georgia. GET Prepared, BE SAFE, and WATCH Weather Channel Religiously.
P.S. CONGRATULATIONS CALIFORNIA! Thank You for CONTINUING to UPHOLD law, and Not allowing anymore Gay Marriages. I am sad that you did in the FIRST place but THANK YOU for not allowing it to continue! GO PROP 8 Supporters! You have support from us!

GREAT Day to FLY !
"EVERY Day is a GREAT Day to FLY at Sky Blue"
Thats the school motto here at Sky Blue Aviation, and boy oh boy it sure is not just a GREAT day but a truly BEAUTIFUL day to fly!
These past few weeks, South Florida has been hit with unusually beautiful, not a cloud in the sky, no rain in sight weather. It has been pretty HOT but it has been GORGEOUS!
I am currently working on my IFR (Instrument Flight Rating), and have been doing lots of flying with the instructors here! It has been pretty EXCITING!
I know this picture is kinda blurry, but I liked it a bit! It looks very much like heart monitor signs. It is actually about 200 hundred feet above the runway coming to land in Boca Raton.
This Picture is taken about 1800 feet AGL parallel to I-95 freeway around 6pm you can see all the headlights snaking along the slow moving freeway. Seeing this Who wouldnt want to FLY?
Other than Flying, This Weekend Cory and I went to see STAR TREK at the PREMIER level of the Palace Theatre here in Boca. The Premier Level is the one and ONLY way to see movies! It has like private plush couches you can sit on and have food and drinks brought to you. It is 21 and up so there are no kids and it is high above the other seats to allow for little to no noise during the movie! It is exclusive so only about 20 couples can sit up there and peacefully escape and watch the movie in peace! Its pretty FABULOUS, and that was just the seating! The movie was FANTASTIC! I am not too big of a Star Trek fan but Cory is and it was a really surprisingly WONDERFUL movie! I HIGHLY encourage EVERYONE to go see it! It was well worth seeing!
Sunday was MOTHER'S DAY!!!! I am so sad to be 3,800 miles away from my Mom, but it was nice to chat with her and wish her a Very Happy Mother's Day! Cory is also the same distance away from his Mom, and He misses her just as much! Mother's are the most blessed AMAZING women in the UNIVERSE! I am so Proud to have such GREAT Mother's in my life! Both women are exceptionally special and LOVE unconditionally! So here is to you Rebecca Hinckley and Sherene Olthoff, Our WONDERFUL MOTHER'S THANK YOU for raising us to be strong, LOVING, Spiritual, GREAT people! We sure could not have done it without you!
