10, 9, 8,. 7 and then it was 2

Two more days! I can't believe we are only two days from paradise. I remember the first time I went to the Gulf Coast of Florida.....September, 1988. Kroger used to have our annual fall sales meeting each year in Destin, Florida...on the gulf coast about 65 miles east of Pensacola. The first time I hit the Sandestin Resort...I knew I would spend many more hours there in the years to come and I have. Clear blue waters, lily white sand, virtually no "surf" to speak of, plenty of good seafood eateries, cool ocean breezes in the evening time. It just doesn't get any better than this. We are all excited to be going and I'm particularly happy that Trey has recouperated well enough that he feels like he can make the trip. I'm excited that Jennifer will be coming as well ....even though we will have to teach her to love it as much as we do. "That's the way we roll girl!" Buy some sunscreen or a good book, cause we are hanging on the beach. You're either with us or you can have the condo all to yourself during the daylight hours.
Speaking of my son....I am so proud of his resolve to lose weight and get healthier. He has done an awesome job watching his sugar and we can really see a difference. Way to go son!!! I always knew that you could do anything you put your mind too! I know it has not been easy, but the love of a good woman and other factors can be tremendous motivators. You can believe your dad loves you more than life itself....I have the greatest family and I am blessed beyond measure.
