Chuck Norris anyone?!

-When Chuck Norris wants a salad, he eats a vegetarian.

- Sometimes, while setting, the sun will linger just a few more minutes on the

 horizon to get one last look at Chuck Norris.

- It never rains on Chuck Norris.

Bring it on Europe.

Starting to save for the trip of a lifetime. 9 months!! 

Bonjour.

Closing "Summer" Chapter.

What is this place we all call earth, Its a beautiful place isn't it? We may not know all about it or what it has to offer exactly but we sure do have a lifetime to find out.

I caught my plane out of key west Florida on Saturday Aug 20th to make it home for the Fall. I remember when i first moved to Florida looking out the plane window as i was landing thinking where the heck am i.

Hellooo TINY island! What??

I had many thoughts in my head at that point.

 Who knew i would be flying out on a 8:20 flight 3 months later with watery eyes and a smile on my face thinking I'M GOING TO MISS THISS ISLAND!! I didn't even know there would be anything to miss when i first arrived. (Never place a judgment on something you have nothing to compare it to ) You got me Key West home of the CONCHS! Props to you. I will miss you. Ive had a great experience! My top 3 favs of key west aarreee...

1. People- Id always try to find people that call themselves CONCHS, which means they had been born and raised in Key west. Come to find out. Conchs are very far and in between. The people in key west are very different. in a GOOD way. Each individual has there own story, literally. Not alot of people are actually from Key West come to find out.

2. Restaurants, Bars, Food- Mmm yes. The Food! The Desserts. I literally think i gained 10 pounds living here. One of my favorite restaurants was called "Better than Sex" it was an all dessert restaurant open from 6pm-12am. Veryy romantic. All there desert names were Sexual. Funniest thing ever. If any of you ever go to Key West make the time to go to Better Than Sex with your Love or Girl Friends. And keep your recipe it will make you laugh.

3. Christopher Castillo- Chris and I started dating about a month and a half before i moved. When Chris and I both knew for ourselves how much we really were into each other, we were nervous to let it continue knowing i would be leaving and we would be miles apart. But we also didn't want to be with out each other NO MATTER how far we are from each other. I know Chris is one of the reason i felt so good about moving to Key West. We have had a BLAST together. He is the best boyfriend. Supportive in so much of what i do, but he still lets me be independent! And for any of you that know me, that's a must. :] I'm lucky to have him... What can i say I'm INTO him!

My Thankful list. Take 20.

1. Food that gives me my energy everyday.
2. Weather, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring!
3. Scooter, Car, Transportaion.
4. Family.
5. Job.
6. Music that you can lose yourself in.
7. Eye Sight.
8. Healthy Body!
9. My Love.
10. Stars that remind you how beautiful this planet is.
11. Rain.
12. People. Personalities.
13. Airplanes that allow traveling!
14. Big Citys.
15. Concerts.
16. Memories... Memorie.
17. Camaras, to remember the good times.
18. Faith.
19. Kissing. Cuddleing.
20. Clothing to let you have your own style.

August 10, 2011

Do you ever get lost in your thoughts of what a "perfect" day is to you?

I feel that thoughts of a perfect day can change based on where you are at in life.

Age. Location. Friends. Job. Family. Weather.

Today may have been that "Perfect" day for me based on my souroundings right now.

Jenessa, Lou, Christopher, and I all hung out tonight.

Christopher is in the United States Coast Guard. He definantly holds a very big position. He deals with alot of Radar Screens and things like that. 

Chris took us onto the navy base to go to a pier that overlooks the ocean and just has amazing views all the way around! We pull up and there was one of the Coast Guard SHIPS docked at the pier!

What?!

The ship had recently pulled in a few days ago from being out at sea for a period of time. Best part of it all. Chris was able to take us on the SHIP and show us around! It was NUTS! It is not Chris's ship he normally goes out on but he has gone out on it before. It was litterally the coolest thing ever! 

We got to go to the top, up and down tiny little hallways, the man control center in the front where the Captain sits, we got to stand out on some of the lookout stands. 

We also had the opportunity to watch them lower the American Flag on the ship... the flag gets lowered on all the ships at sunset, and again get raised at 8 A.M. every morning. 

It was amazing. 

I never expected to see what i did. 

To even get a little glimps of what it means to be in the Coast Guard makes me soo grateful for the Men and Woman that hold those positions. 

Ill remember those moments. Forever

Laatter... after we had left the peir it started raining SOO bad! Buckets of water everywhere. 

What do you think we did!??

We HAD to run around in it! We went to a baseball Field/ Soccer field and off in the rain we went! We were Soaked. Head to Toe. After having some fun in the rain we then went home switched into some dry clothes and made some yesss... Banana Pancakes! ( Playing some Jackie Johnson )

Good. Good. Day!

Coldplay - Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

One for One.

It's not just about "shoes". It's hope, joy and interaction with people that generally care about these kids and their surroundings. Buying a pair of TOMS provides a child with not only shoes, but a piece of happiness too. Its called One for One with a heartfelt reason.

Yes. YES. Yes. KAYAKING!

Fresh Water. Paddle. Kayake = Simply HEAVEN!

I took the girls out for the first Kayake morning ever, and they actually did really well! I was impressed.

Kayaking on the Ocean is alot different then the fresh brisk mornings on the lake that i got so used to, but it was beautiful and a much needed time for the water!

About 3 weeks before i moved from California Robin and I went camping for 3 nights, and we started every morning off in the water kayaking to the sunrise. It litterally made my day so much better!

Try Kayaking you never know you might get sucked in... Like i did!!

Fishing on the Pier

Meeting people and friends on this island has got to be one of the best things about Key West. Everyone has such different journeys and story's.. But the best thing about it all is making memories like this. "Fishing on the Pier" Time together, but away from the worldly everyday expectations. A night to remember with our buddys!
