My Trip to Florida

As many of you know my life has been a bit out of sorts, okay well I have. Upon opening Pandora’s Box I went into a depression. I no longer knew how to feel about things I have discovered about when I was a child. The memories I had blocked were so locked that I did not remember them all until I read the file, upon reading the file it opened up so many memories, more than what was in the file even. So I was struggling, which felt in a lot of ways like drowning. It was like this huge sadness moved over me and I just couldn’t figure out how to get out. Thankfully that plane trip I never made last year was coming up and I went to see a girlfriend and her family instead. She knows a lot about my past and I had been telling her about things I had learned. I couldn’t wait to go see her. This would be a lot of 1sts for me though. I had never took time for myself, never flew by myself and definitely never stayed away from my kids.

Ready for the trip? Okay first I was stopped at security check because ….. I had a pocket knife in my purse. POINTER do NOT bring one with you. I always carry one but I never use it. I got the purse back in September and the knife at the same time, it went to the bottom of my purse and I forgot about it. EEeeek. That took a while to explain but then I went on to the plane. Did I ever tell ya I am afraid of heights, bridges or going over water? No one informed me there was water all over the place in Baltimore/Washington DC. Talk about freaking out. I was fine over all the land until it became water. haha. I was so happy to finally land in Florida. BTW Florida looks very swampy/muddy from the air, not a good sight to see for me. But the ground was very lovely.

I saw my girlfriend, Julia and her husband Steve waiting at baggage. Actually we all ran up to each other. So what all did I do there? Well I will briefly tell you but then I will just bombard ya with photos. 🙂 I shot a gun. Ack! I know, little ole me with a shotgun in her hand. I actually hit the target too, as well as shot up the tree. I chased little piggies, rode a horse, watched Julia’s daughter herd cattle, skipped watching them get their balls cut off, frosted my hair to blonde streaks and had a really great time. The farm life is a life I could totally do and now I know it for sure. Okay have fun with the photos.
