quick update

As for some may know I am now back home in Tally with the fam, I'm going to school here in town and I'm working at a Private school as well I'm an Assisstant Lead and I'm working with VPK age 4 I love being a Teacher and I love every min. of it. I have decided not to go back to Pensacola Christian College for various reasons. God laid it upon my heart to come home and go to school here in town, it was a blessing. Since working here and going to school in town God has blessed in more ways than anyone could imagine. I'll be going to Alaska K-town this summer for a couple of weeks to visit everyone there, This Christmas the fam and I will be heading to Tennesse for Christmas with some friends of the family that we knew way back in Miami. God bless and hope you have a very Thankful Thanksgiving

Uncle mike is my nanas brother, i have always called him Bear mike because to me he looked like one. i had blast it was lots of fun with some friends as well.

our home

this is the inside of our home. sorry no pictures of the kitchen thats still being worked on, though we have been living in this house for a year now you would think the kitchen would be done but seeing as my dads supose to be doing that it could take years, we still dont have base boards and the tile on the kitchen counters arent grouted. but that is our life projects and more projects.

Lake Ella

we had a blast taking these photos the other day. One saturday afternoon mom decided that we should go for a walk so we went to Lake Ella and took lots of pictures.

Mount Veronon

Mount Vernon was the last and final stop on their trip to Washington DC. Mom and Brittany went to DC to visit my dad while he was their on detail. So far Brittany has stood in the room where George Washington died and where Abe Lincoln died as well. The was the first actual family vocation in a really long time I was not there I stay home to watch our dogs. It didn't take Brittany long to figure out the Washington is made up of dead people. like National Monuments you have George Washington Monument, Abe Lincoln Monument, The Vietnam, WWII, and Arlington. Other than that Washinton DC is still one of the best places to visit.
