update

We made it through the anniversary week in Vero with my (Diana's) family, even though this is what we were greeted with when we arrived. We had a nice time being able to be present with my mom and brother and just spend time being around each other. Jason was super supportive and really wonderful the whole time. On the way down to the Keys we stopped in downtown Miami so we could have lunch with a buddy of Jason's from Orlando. His office was just a few blocks from the fire station my dad worked at for 25 years so we drove by it and snapped a picture. I have many memories from this fire station. It certainly doesn't look like all the fancy new stations around but trust me it does the heaviest work in the city. I still hold my dad's badge in my wallet and will for many years to come I imagine.


We are now in Key Largo and will be here until 3 July. I completed my first day of Rescue Diver training today while Jason did some dives this morning. I only got a 96% on the exam. Grr. Tomorrow I'll do my 10 confined water skills and then on Thursday I'll do my 4 open water rescue scenarios. Assuming all goes well, on Thursday afternoon you can give me a big congrats on becoming a Rescue Diver :)

The Red Bull Flugtag is coming to Bayfront - so cool! Wish I could see this, I think it'd be really fun to watch.
