New beginnings intertwined with family

This weekend was without a doubt, a family-studded good luck weekend. Mom and Mason flew in on Thursday to stay with us for the weekend. It was so refreshing to see familiar faces in my home. I think they brought some fairy dust with them because a slew of wonderful things happened upon their arrival. For starters, my sweet niece Liliana came into the world on that very same day. She is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to hold her. Hopefully we will get to Skype the family tomorrow to see her. I guess I will just have to be Cyber Aunt until Thanksgiving. As far as I know, Alisha is doing well and probably very happy to see that her baby is healthy and finally out of her tummy.

My day was especially memorable as well because I got a phone call that will change my life. I cannot go into detail until next week, but most of you know I am sure. If you are curious enough just text me. I finally feel like there is something for me here in Florida. Such wonderful things are happening to my Trevor and selfishly enough, I wanted a piece of the joy as well. All of my prayers were answered and God has awesome things in store for me. I feel like I have even more reassurance as to why God lead us here. It's okay to be happy for myself, right? :)

We spent some great days out at the beach, mixed with our Floridian hit-or-miss weather but all in all it was pretty dry here. Duke received more love than ever and is probably a bit too spoiled now, I guess that's what grandmas are for.

We ate some awesome food while they were here as well. There was a little spot on the bay where giant tarpon fish swarm around the docs. I swear I thought they were sharks! The food was great and I have a few pics I will upload later. Last night was yet another culinary adventure in my kitchen, as usual. We all know I have some ups and downs but the product was insanely delicious. We made halibut with a peach and pepper salsa that was out of this world. I need to post the recipe because it is so fresh and has so many different flavors that I must share it with the world.

I was sad to see my family leave today. I feel like it went by way too fast, but so many good things happened while they were here that made it perfect timing for their trip. Unfortunately, I won't be seeing them again until Christmas... too long from now. We are lucky, however, that Trevor's family will be coming to visit in three weeks for his white coat ceremony. The adventure continues in Florida and I am glad you are all along for the ride. More to come as usual, God Bless!
