Since my trip to Florida a little over a week ago, I have been thinking a lot about family. More specifically, how incredibly lucky I am to have the family that I do. My family is my rock; my happy place. They comfort me, encourage me, and bring so much joy to my life. I have lived far away from them for almost ten years now, so I cherish each and every time we are together. Our last trip to Florida was extra special because it was the first time my dad had been with all three of his children in over eight years. It was wonderful to reconnect in such a beautiful setting. We spent all day on Saturday with my uncle in Boca Grande, and relaxed by the pool at my sister's house all day on Sunday. My nieces giggled and swam for hours as we talked, told stories, and laughed. Our nights were filled with movies and board games, and we even held our first annual Anderson/Ankrum half, which I will share detials about soon. It was the perfect weekend.
