First I want to send out an apology to my Florida Family. I told them I would come back in August to extend my visit but I never made it back. During my trip to Utah my truck "Bertha" broke down, it was a pretty serious break down. She had a fuel pump malfunction, gas tank needed to be cleaned, chips need to be replaced. If it sound expensive, that is because it was. Thankfully she broke down at my sister's house and not on the road with a full load of my mothers stuff coming from Texas. That is the reason why my plans on for the trip was cut somewhat short. The cash money I reserved for Florida had to be used on reviving Bertha. Thankfully she is now fine and running like a champ. I promise to return as soon as it is possible.
In a way, I need to come back because I deleted all my Florida pictures, how else will I remember my nieces and nephew when I'm old and gray? I need to retake them. I was so annoyed when I realized I had lost them, I also lost a set of Boston pictures. Fortunately that is the only thing I lost. Since then I make sure to upload my picture and back them up ASAP, lesson learned.
Another item on the list that I'm very disappointed about is not being albe to do Habitat for Humanity. It was my goal to volunteer in New Orleans this summer and help out. It was actually in the plans with going to New Orleans, to put in my time and then head for Florida and finish off with a visit but I guess it wasn't in the cards this time around. I'm hoping to be able to volunteer before the year is over. I want to be able to do that before any plans to go abroad or some super major trip. Next time... this just makes my anticipation grow stronger making the experience more worth while. :)
