Just another day in Paradise…

We are having the best time with the Boykins. Every time we come down here I can’t remember why we live anywhere else.

Shark Bait at breakfast waiting on his chocolate “gogonoc” chip waffles:

Later in the day we went to the Harbor for the St. Patty’s fest they were having:

Right before we took this picture, Jack said, “Sit with me, Lyssa. Sit with me.” A-dorable!!! :

We were walking by and checked out the fisherman’s catch:

We finished the day at Crystal Beach. The weather was gorgeous!! The water was too cold to swim but we had a great time relaxing:

Jack building his sand castle. He was so proud and talked about it the whole time we were there and the entire car ride home:

SO GORGEOUS:

We packed up to leave just as the wedding was beginning:

The boys went deep sea fishing while we were on the beach. They caught 3 huge Amberjacks among other fish. Plenty to start filling up the freezer:

The next day we went to lunch at a Sushi Buffet:

and Jack was cracking himself up the WHOLE WAY:

After lunch the boys took us out on the boat over to Noriaga point:

The water is a gorgeous turquoise:

The water is so clear!!

The only one of us brave enough to get in the water:

Jordan, Brad and Jack:

After the beach, Brad drove us out the pass so we could see the dolphins feed:

We stayed out and fished until the sun was setting:

What a gorgeous day:

Writing again…

First, I want to say thank you for all the kind comments, messages, and texts from my last post. Kevin and I are praying for peace. I feel like I really have a handle on what happened, but every now and then I find myself tearing up for no reason. My doctor said that we are good to go ahead and keep trying. January was fine. Everything was on schedule, but February was a weird month. I am normally like clock work so I’m hoping March will be better.

I am thinking about writing again. I used to write all the time… I even took creative writing in college. English was my minor. I recently found one of my short stories from college. It’s so hard to be objective about your own stories and even harder to show them to anyone. But if anyone is interested in reading it, let me know and I’ll email it to you. It’s only 12 pages. Although I am thinking about beefing it up to maybe 30 pages or so… How cool would it be to be published???

We leave for Florida on Thursday and I can’t wait. Spring Break can not get here fast enough…. but it needs to move slowly once it’s here. :) pictures to come. our little shark bait is in a big boy bed!!!
