It isn't every day


 It isn't every day you meet those who you LOVE the be a part of.  We met Melissa and Cameron on accident when we joined our friend Jerry Gomes at bike week. (Thank you Jerry) Melissa and I had so much in common we couldn't stop talking.  It was instant friendship...talking about family, our occupations, dreams and bigger dreams. They are the type of people who you can be just yourself with, those who never judge or expect anything. 
We were invited to join their family for the 4th of July in Oceanside, CA.  We arrived and it was their family, their sisters, brothers family, aunt and uncle's family and the Gomes family and Grandma and Grandpa.  Even with 23 people together for 5 days we had fun, we laughed, and even cried a few times.  Walked a mile in other peoples shoes as those others in ours. Danced on the beach, rode the waves and made sand castles. 
All weekend we all came together to make sure meals were made and bathes were done.  Everyone knew where they were sleeping and some even just didn't care and hit the floor.  Hair wasn't perfect, clothes were sometimes dirty and even some unnecessary conversation happened over a few adult drinks. However,  in the end with a group of the travelling 23 it was the best time I've had with friends in such a long time. I can honestly say I created a friendship which will last forever. 
OH Yeah, I won't forget the 5 dogs, 1 cat, a bird and a beta fish. 
Thank you for the most amazing time and memories made with our family.  I will never forget you even though your moving already! Oh yeah I didn't cry until now! :0)

I thank GOD for his many blessings!
