A Beautiful Wedding in Florida

Mom’s Beautiful Wedding in Florida

Sorry for the delay in posting. Better late than never, right?

Our trip to Florida was absolutely amazing, and my mom’s wedding was truly beautiful. It was such a special day, and I could not be happier for her and my new stepfather, Luis. Seeing the two of them so happy together made the entire trip worth it.

The wedding was held at the lovely home of one of my mom’s friends, and it turned out to be the perfect setting for such a joyful occasion. Surrounded by family, friends, and sunshine, it felt like the kind of day everyone will remember for years to come.

I loved getting to spend time with all of my family. My brothers were there, along with my aunts, cousins, and now my new stepbrother and stepsister. Seeing everyone together in one place made the celebration even more meaningful.

The ceremony itself was beautiful. Watching my mom walk down the aisle and exchange rings with Luis was such a touching moment. You could feel how much love there was between them and how excited everyone was to welcome our families together.

After the ceremony we took lots of photos with family and friends, celebrated the newly married couple, and enjoyed the evening together. The kids even had some fun decorating the car with “Just Married” messages for the happy couple before the after party.

It was a perfect day, and I feel so lucky to have been there to celebrate such an important moment in my mom’s life. 

Florida Bound: A Wedding and a New Life Update

Big News and an Exciting Trip Ahead!

I’m writing today to share some exciting news about an upcoming journey. Next week Shane and I will be heading to Florida for five days to see my mom get married!

I am so thrilled to be going home for such a wonderful occasion. My mom is truly the greatest woman I know, and anything that makes her happy makes me happy too. It means so much to be able to be there and celebrate such a special moment with her. Of course, there will be plenty of fun vacation pictures to share when we get back.

I also have another big update.

I have officially put in my two weeks notice at my current job and will be starting a new position as soon as we return from Florida. My new employers run a commercial real estate company, and I will be working on the accounting side of the business.

I feel incredibly lucky to have this opportunity. It seems like a place where every day will be both fun and challenging, which is exactly what I’ve been looking for. And, of course, it will be nice to start bringing home a few more dollars as well.

Lots of exciting changes happening all at once!

My next post should be filled with pretty pictures and priceless memories from the wedding trip.

Adiós Cancun: Leaving Mexico and Heading to Florida

Adiós Cancun

Adiós Cancun! You have been an incredible adventure that I would happily repeat over and over again.

Before leaving, we made sure to sign the guest book at our “Cozy Studio Condo” to let the owners know how much we enjoyed staying there. It was the perfect little home base for our month in Mexico.

Goodbye tiny room that we somehow managed to keep messy the entire time.

Goodbye awesome little rental car.
You were tiny too, but that actually came in handy more than once when squeezing through traffic.

And of course, goodbye to the beautiful beaches. Those bright blue waters and soft sand will definitely be missed.

We boarded our plane and left Cancun on Friday with a layover in Miami. I have to say, I am not a huge fan of going through customs there when you still have another flight to catch.

By the time we made it through customs, picked up our luggage, waited in line just to walk out of the baggage area, checked our bags back in, stood in another line for security, boarded a shuttle, and then walked halfway across the airport, we finally arrived at our gate… and everyone was already on the plane.

They really don’t leave you much wiggle room.

Thankfully the final flight was only about 45 minutes to Tampa, where my brother picked us up at the airport.

Since arriving in Florida things have been nonstop. I am so happy to be spending time with friends and family again.

More pictures from our time here will be coming soon!
