ahh

yes, florida was wonderful. im already missing it. i was so nervous about making a good impression on everyone, and apparently it need'nt have worried lol. they loved/adored tamara, and according to andrew, i was a pretty big hit too. i 'have good mothering instincts, and am a wonderful mother.' also, 'she has a very stable personality' and 'shes a good influence on you.' so i guess they thought good things of me lol. so the pix below are of andrews family, Gram, Papa, Dad, Aunt Allison, andrew, me, and tamara. in case you were wondering. tamara was napping when we took the group photos. the beach really IS in the back yard. like walk 100ft, splash, your walking in the gulf of mexico. and the smell!! everywhere we went, it always smelling so, so... fresh, and clean, and almost a hint of flowery-ness. We got NO sunburns (a major worry of mine) no illnesses, and no breakdowns.... well... tamara had one on the plane ride back. she screamed jsut about the whole time. she was tired, but wouldnt sleep. she was acting like she was in pain or something. fortunately, noone said a damned word to us, and only 1 guy glared at us. so all in all, a truly WONDERFUL vacation. but its late, and i gotta work, finishing this up, and off to bed.
