May Mann Jennings - Florida Woman's Hall of Fame Inductee

Before woman had the right to vote - there was May Mann Jennings and her effort that resulted in what is now known as the Everglades National Park.

No Weigh in This Week

Ok I knew this week would be a no weigh in week - instead I had a goal of making it through the weekend following my plan.  Success! I did what I planned and I can't ask for anymore, and I don't want to ruin it if the scale is up because I was part of a big group dinning and didn't have a say in what was served.  So weigh in will have to wait until next week.

What was so special about this weekend?   It was the GFWC Florida Convention weekend! Where all the GFWC groups around the state gather and celebrate the things we've accomplished in our communities over the year.

Its late (early mornings) to bed, to then rise early to start the next day.  It is laughter and new memories with ladies we spend our year with and ladies we only see twice a year at the convention.  Its a time for all of us to let go of our home responsibilities and let our hair down for the weekend.

For your viewing pleasure, pictures from the weekend:

Update on buddy Jocelyn (I Run 4 Jocelyn!) - she is doing ok, her sugar is up and down a lot, hopefully the glucose monitor will provide answers.  Tonight she is going to PROM! She is super excited, I can't wait to see pictures.  

Happy Thursday, may it be filled with many blessings!

Girl Friends Are Renewing

Spent the weekend with my sisters from GFWC Sebastian River Juniors and other members from around the state at the GFWC Florida Convention.  Late nights and Early mornings.  Celebrating the accomplishments of the year that all the clubs have done to benefit their communities.  I always come back exhausted but with a lighter load.

Its one of two weekends a year where we all get together and shed our responsibilities as wives, mothers, sisters, and working professionals to just enjoy each others company and relax.  I LOVE IT!

Even this weeks car fun is not dampening my spirit.  My radiator is leaking so my wonderful husband has taken it out and ordered a new one - which we are praying will arrive on Wednesday - so for this week we are carpooling together for work.  Even though this morning was a little rough for us matching our times together we made it out the door.  We got to drive in watching the sunrise and sharing time for conversation that we normally don't get.

It is going to be another busy week - heading into some down time.  My step daughter will graduate with her AA this weekend, a month before she graduates high school, due to Dual Enrollment.  She is an amazing young woman and we are so proud of her!

Update on buddy/Jocelyn -
   She had a glucose monitor put in yesterday - which went very well, except them finding a spot to put it, because you need a fatty spot and she has no body fat!!  Now they have to take her sugar readings 4 times a day and not give her any medication to see what is going on.  We are all praying for answers as to why she is feeling "weird".   She has PT today and Wednesday.  If you would like to follow Jocelyn's journey you can go and like this page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hope-for-Jocelyn/351637158314602.

Also because Jocelyn spends so much time at the hospital she has been given a page for her Hero Package. Check it out here: http://www.gamerosity.com/heroes/jocelyn-nocito

Happy Tuesday, may it be filled with many blessings!
