Naples, FL, Winter the dolphin, and a free Nexus 7!!! Exciting times, GRATITUDE

Well.  Tomorrow is graduation day.  And then we have a wonderful treat.  A relative has a condo in Naples, FL and she is sending us down there to enjoy the place and relax.  What a GIFT for Daniel because he will be able to swim in pools and the gulf waters.

It will be a God send to be able to just breathe deep under a palm tree in the sun.  We are not all going, but at some point around the 4th of July its looking pretty good.

Saying massive amounts of prayers that Daniel's current (yes, current...sigh) level of congestion will dissipate.

Have you ever watched the movie Dolphin Tale?  Well, if you have, you will know all about Winter.  She lives in Clearwater at a marine aquarium there.  She is a special needs dolphin who has an orthotic tail.

It has been my dream to bring Daniel to meet Winter in person.  It's about a 2 hour drive, and if we can afford to do it, we may try.

God has been good to us.  And boy will it be a relief to escape the pressures of broken lifts, bills, doctors appointments, and STRESS.  lol.

Many thanks to family and friends and this amazing town of Newtown.  Florida is a place where Daniel has much more accessibility and freedom to do the things he really enjoys most.

Getting there?  With all of his medical needs....well....that is the challenging part.  But having a wonderful place to stay thanks to a very special and kind family member who we love dearly....that takes the stress right away.

So I have so much to do.  Order a weeks worth of medications, organize equipment, figure out how much I can take on the plane with me.   I wish you could understand how challenging and crazy it is to fly with a special needs teenager.  It's definitely an adventure.  Know that i will be blogging and posting all along the journey.

OH....and in the mail, the other day, I also got a FREE NEXUS 7 tablet, because I switched to ATT.  There is nothing better than free gift with purchase.

And I passed my insurance license exam, so when I get back, I will actually be working part time as a licensed agent.


SO MANY EXCITING THINGS.   I AM CHOOSING TO BE HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY.  Stress is going on vacation too.
