Rollin’ with it

Ran into Citadel classmate Mike Rezendes in San Antonio this morning.

My view commuting to work this week.

Our time in Tampa Fl. has been so amazing! We arrive May 10th only planning to stay for 1 month, and ended up staying 4!! There is just so much to do in the area. We enjoyed plenty of sunsets on the beach, days of bike riding along the shoreline, visiting the sponge docks in tarpon springs, eating amazing food, made new friends, I met Posies Flower Truck and ended up making flower crowns for her truck, kayaked the springs, the bay, and under the mangroves, visited family, and saw lots of wildlife like manatees, sharks, sting rays, and dolphins all while we swam. Now we head to the east coast of Florida.

Toasting another great sunset at Caddy’s on Treasure Island Florida.

Today he turns 17…. He is my baby the one you could never turn your back on when he was little. He was always into something, and mischievous as all get out.

There once was a time in church when he was about 2 and he was crawling all over the place…. Under the pews, over people, just everywhere, and I was frustrated and embarrassed because I couldn’t make him be still (like a good catholic is supposed to be). At the end of services I was ready to pull my hair out and paddle his butt when a older woman tapped me on the shoulder and told me that she had been watching us, and she wanted me to know that he was very special and that she hoped she knew him when he got older. Little did she know saved him that day, but she was right though… He has become such a thoughtful, kind, and responsible young man. I am in awe at how much he means to sooo many people.

Happy Birthday Luke! You are a light in this world, and I cannot wait to see the man you become ❤️

Halfway there…..
Looking forward to the real one in Key West.

Nice find on Clearwater Beach
