Key Largo

This past week we spent two days in the Florida Keys. It was beautiful! 86 degrees out and the water was temperature was 77 degrees :) We took a boat out to the John Pennecamp State Park Coral Reef and went snorkeling. The water was rougher than normal making Nicole's first experience snorkeling involve questions such as "What part of this is supposed to be fun?!?" and swallowing half the ocean...she did incredible though and quickly got the hang of it and we had a blast seeing a whole different form of nature that exists under the water. Amazing all that is down there! GOD is so creative :)

What can we say...

We do!!

We had an amazing lunch with way too much food at the Islamorada Fish Company and enjoyed the world famous key lime pie as fresh as it gets...yum!

Props to the MOST amazing woman ever!

Today Nicole woke up early and went for a 45 min run in the FL heat and humidity and then followed it up with 90 mins of Bikram yoga this afternoon!! Just last week it took everything we had just to get through yoga :) You ROCK Nicole!!! I love you SO much and am so proud of who you are!

New Experiences

Florida has been full of new experiences for us, we are used to having to watch out for deer crossing the street...

Just the other day we saw this message to us from GOD, we've been trying to abide by it faithfully :)

We miss you and love you all SO much!!!

West Coast!

...of Florida that is :) Last weekend we went to Naples, FL on the Gulf of Mexico side of Florida with Mom, Dad and Grandma. It couldn't have been a more perfect day, we enjoyed a picnic near the beach and then got to watch the sunset in all its glory. Of course treating ourselves to some of the best ice cream we have ever had at Kilwins couldn't be left out! Sorry, I didn't do a great job of picture taking to capture the day :(

Bikram

Yesterday Nicole and I signed up for a month of unlimited Bikram Yoga...yea the one that takes an hour and a half to do and is done is a room heated to 100F!

I only made it halfway through the first class and spent the rest of the time lying flat on my back trying not to pass out, while Nicole rocked it through the rest of the class! Her concluding thought...there's a reason there are 26 poses and 2 breathing exercises in Bikram Yoga...26.2 anyone?? The same mental strength to push through a marathon is needed to remain focused in the heat through all 26 poses.

Here's to health and hoping we make it out of FL in one piece! :)

Where in the USA is it 82 degrees on Nov 3rd?

South Florida!! :) We are here! After a wonderful stay with our soul friends in Chicago, that were the link to Nicole and I meeting in Utah, we left our car behind and flew to Florida for a visit with my family. It's been amazing, the beach is beautiful and weather perfect. There is plenty to do and our days are sure to be filled with wonderful adventures from the Alligators in the Everglades to the Yellowtail in the Keys. Here are a few pics and a video from our first outings :)

Gosh she's beautiful!!!

Our sweet ride for our time in FL :)
