Bradenton, FL: A Blessing in Disguise!

Bradenton, FL: A Blessing in Disguise!

This is going to sound super cliché, but I really believe some things happen for a reason.

Away in Florida for the Holidays

Away in Florida for the Holidays

Some of my friends and family were concerned that we would not be home for the holidays. A former co-worker’s kids even asked “how will they get Christmas cards!?” I had a feeling of sadness before the holidays thinking I would not see my family, but you know what? I ended up spending way more time with family in 7 weeks than I have in any normal year being “home.” Forty-two days to be exact in Florida for the holidays!…
