Okay www.jamielynndirect.com has been fully published.
I'm not trying to get millions by doing this, i'm only trying to build my portfolio. So please spread the word if you know anyone who is looking for some simple design work to be done. :)
Thanks,

Wekiva Springs
I went to Wekiva Springs (Florida) for the first time today! I didn't know what to expect, I grew up in Michigan and have been on the AuSable River a few times but that's nothing like Wekiva.
They have a huge swimming area where the springs are. It's absolutely beautiful and I was sort of amazed. The water is crystal clear and perfect for snorkeling. The water was a bit chilly at 9 in the morning but you got used to it after a while. There are suppose to be shark teeth laying around but we didn't find any :( It was still fun looking!!
After snorkeling for a little while we got canoes and headed up the river. As soon as we took off we saw a big gator basking in the sun and a bunch of turtles everywhere. There was also bass and huge gar fish everywhere. It was unbelievable. Throughout the trip we saw all sorts of birds and a bunch of baby alligators. I loved it. It was hot, but we brought beers and food and had a great time, the weather was perfect. We canoed for a good 4-5 hours total and made perfect timing back because it started to storm as soon as we pulled back up to the springs.
There are a few campsites up the river that are only accessible by canoe that I want to camp at. It's totally secluded and would be really cool to canoe all day up to the camp site and chill for the night. I think it would be spooky...but still super fun.
I'm totally exhausted but wired from the trip. I had a blast with my friends and hope to do it again soon. It's weekends like this that really make me realize how great Orlando is....and Florida in general.
Thats all for now, I should get some sleep :)

First Blog - jamielynndirect.com
Not technically my first blog, but my first new blog. I'm getting ready to launch www.jamielynndirect.com soon. I'm going to offer up some cheap graphic design stuff for people on the net. The internet is insane, it's growing faster than anything else in the world. You have to have a web prescence now more than ever if you want to succeed in business. It's also a huge tool of communication for families and friends. Far be it from me to not try to capitalize on this ;) Just kidding of course. I love design, I love making websites, I love working with dreamweaver and photoshop and all the other crazy software programs that are out there that allow us to create such cool things in our own homes (run on sentence). I hope that a few people give me a chance to create some stuff, because it's genuinely what I love to do.
Alright, so that's about it for now. Just a first blog to get things rolling. Make sure to follow me on twitter to get the word around :)
Peace,
Jamie
