Hey everybody, I made it to Florida! The flight here was good I got through security just fine and found my shuttle bus and gate, got a Starbuck's coffee, waited for about and hour or so and got on the plane, got off the plane just fine found my baggage and found Christine without any problems. I've been here since Tuesday, and I've already done a few pretty cool things.

   So far I'm only taking it one step at a time, doing what Christine tells me to do, taking care of McKenna, doing the dishwasher, all that jazz. I have not been trying to think about home, I know that thoughts about home will start invading more and more frequent as the days and weeks go by, so for now I'm just trying to stay happy.

   The first day I got here we went to the beach for a nice relaxing time, McKenna and I got to go play in the waves, as the waves would come rolling in I would lift her up and she would giggle and I would put her back in the water, and then another wave would come in and the process would be repeated, lol. McKenna is sooo cute, she's almost 14 months old, she can walk, and she's in the process of being potty trained at the moment. Since McKenna can't talk yet Christine has been teaching her a bit of sign language, so far she knows the signs to drink, eat, milk, potty, and she can tell you where her heart is too. Sorry went off track there for a moment...

   On Wednesday night I got to see baby turtles (actually it was more like Thursday morning from like 12:00 to 3:30 AM lol), we watched them come up from the nest and migrate down into the ocean. It was SOOO COOL!!! They were so TINY and very cute! Oh, and the beach is beautiful at midnight as the moon is reflecting off of the water and there's a path of moonlight along the sand, and the stars are all out, nice cool breezy weather! Oh man, you just have to come and see it!

   Well I think it's just about time to say goodbye to y'all and I'll continue to update as the days, and weeks, and months drag by. I'll talk to y'all later.
