Hi Everyone!

It has been a loooooong time since I have made a post or updated this blog and A LOT has changed in my life! I have a new job, and I moved to Tampa!!! It has been a little over a year since I moved and I love living in Florida so far! Maria is thriving here and she loves it too! I have done a ton, since I have last updated this blog, so it would be impossible to talk about it all, but here are some pictures!

This is what a Christmas Parade looks like in Tampa... notice the palm trees! It was 80 degrees! — This is what a Christmas Parade looks like in Tampa… notice the palm trees! It was 80 degrees!
