hey momma

So yeah… that whole consistency in blogging thing didn’t pan out; I apologize. My mom has been at me about keeping her updated to my locale and vitality and so this is dedicated to her.

Managed a surprise ticket home for the holidays which was a blessing since I haven’t been with my family for Christmas in about 4 years. Was resistant to cross that great of a distance after just leaving the states, Ohio in December… pass. I finagled a work around though and met my mom in Florida after completing some work. Ahh, the best of both worlds; good ol’ double dip.

Its funny how the dynamic changes with our parents as we age, she’s all too eager to let me drive (figuratively) while before there was only denial of said “key”. She’s now the proud owner of a new passport and I’m excited to be the one who made its existence a necessity.* We traveled in Mexico and Honduras then hit up the Bahamas (for her sake), twas a grand ol’ time I must admit. And so Mom, now that you’ve seen me (as I live and breathe) and spent too much time in small rooms with one bed; I just wanted to let you know where I was and what I did… I know how much you worry.

*Apparently, only 1 in 10 Americans owns a passport. Really?!… that make me sad. America, you don’t know what your missing. Get out there! Bear witness to the world instead of the 3 minute clip on YouTube. Better yet, stay tuned and I’ll show you what your missing.
