Arrived in Florida

One of my favorite sights since arriving here! The Roseate Spoonbill. I can't wait to see more birds! My First Week in Florida This is my first attempt at a blog - was hoping this would make it easy to stay in touch with friends and family whether or not they are on Facebook! Chris and I had an easy ride down here! We decided to rent a car as well as drive mine down here because I had more stuff I figured I should take instead of leaving at my ma's and I wasn't going to have time to get to my storage unit.

This guy was actually a little bit away from work and he, along with his buddies, was actually all over a dumpster behind the local Starbucks.
