the goods

In September of 2006, I decided to "up-root" from my hometown of Pensacola. I have never lived any other place since I was born (unless you count a very brief, somewhat awkward, residence in Gainesville in 2000) so this was a very big deal. But, it was definitely time for a change, and following in the footsteps of my big sister, I decided to spread my wings in Tampa (and dragged my son along for the ride). While it was hard to leave a place I love so much, having family close by has definitely made the journey easier. My mom lives in the St. Pete area and my sister, Michelle, her husband, Scott, and my handsome nephew, Austin, live , literally, right around the corner.

In January of 2007, Charlie also made the move to the area which has been a blessing for myself and jackson as well.

So here we are, Loving Life, making memories, and, doing our very best to live each day to it's fullest potential.

my "un-birthday"

Well, just to put your mind at ease, we did not dress up like the characters from Alice in Wonderland and have a Mad Hatter tea party (although, come to think of it, this might have turned out to be an equally good time). Michelle and Scott offered to take me to see Michael Buble in concert to celebrate my un-birthday. What an amazing and very talented singer he is. Not to mention sexy as all get out.....ladies, you know this man is a slimeball! It was so much fun and I will definitely do it again. Charlie stayed home with the kids (ha) and was very sweet to do so.


All in all, it turned out to be a great night. Thanks to my awesome sister and brother-in-law for always inviting me to take part in their glamorous lives!!
