I sit here typing this entry on a Saturday night, sitting on the couch with a bottle of layer cake wine and Cabo(well when I started this its what I was doing :p ). April was extremely challenging but May has led to a clearer head for this gal and hopes of new opportunities and blessings. And now on to June!
Furthermore the journey back to Florida has officially begun!! I'm nervous as hell but then my excitement balances it out. I've begun my job search as well and if anyone has any leads please let me know. I'm looking both at home in Pensacola and in the Tampa/st Pete area...( although I'm thinking more towards Tampa as job opportunities are more and its a great place...) Finally I've realized its OK for me to say "I'd rather be home in Florida than out here in Texas". At somepoint you just have to tune out all the noise and follow your heart - my heart yearns for Florida!
That's a quick wrap of what's been going on for me. Currently getting back home is number one on my list. I'm very excited to say that in 2 wks I'll be taking a week long trip to FL - visiting family and friends all over :) This past weekend for Memorial Day I took a mini vaca to South Padre Island - when I say its at the border, I mean at the border!--guards, guns and all. They don't mess around. It was a great trip, relaxation on the beach and by a pool - just what this girl needed. This weekend coming up I'm excited for my cousin Emily to be graduating High School - WOW, I can't believe it! Congrats Em :) I'm so thrilled she included me on this special event and can't wait to sit through a graduation for 800 kids (can you sense the sarcasm??)
So stay tuned for what's to come!
And I want to leave you with a quick link to a documentary I was able to watch. It may seem a bit much but wow, what an eye-opening experience to see how lucky we are sometimes. Literally I sat sobbing as I watched this - even just reading the article is hard but the patients chronicled in this piece are amazing individuals that really taught me some great things about life. Please read and watch some of the clips if you can. < How to Die in Oregon >
Till next time!
