July 17, 2007
Well thank you to everyone who is thinking about me and sending me well wishes and words of encouragement!! I really appreciate it and it always makes me feel better! Makes me miss you guys that much more 
but makes me feel better to!! I love all of you very much and miss ya’ll!! After Sunday’s little episode it has been better! i actually didn’t go to the beach but will soon!! Of course every store in sight is having huge sales so its hard not to go shopping! I may have bought a few things on sunday but hey it helped
Anyways last night was a lot of fun. Julia was working at JT so i went and had a blast!!! On my 30 minute walk there i had decided that if it wasn’t to busy and no one to really talk to that i would take it as a sign to leave and go by and see eugene at his restaurant (b/c we haven’t talked since our date and i wanted to feel things out). Anyways half way through my first beer nothing was really going on so I was like ok i guess i’ll leave soon. Thats when the best sign ever walked through the door!!! Let me just tell you he was gorgeous! Blonde hair, blue eyes, and from…are you guys ready…Australia!!!! Only the best accent ever!!! I was so excited! Anyways he ended up sitting next to me and we talked for a few hours he was really nice and was telling me how he just got back from Croatia!! I’m dying to go there is sounds amazing! He went on a cruise through all the small islands! He said it was gorgeous and similar to Greece but untouched!! I gotta go!!! But because this is how my life goes it was his last night in Florence!! But whatever we had a nice time talking! He ended up leaving around 12 but thats when i became friends with the DJ and learned how to DJ!! And since it was the DJ’s b-day he kept walking away so i basically was the DJ for the rest of the night, well with Scott’s help (he’s a regular form LA). See the DJ was turning 57 and so i wasn’t all that familiar with his music so Scott helped me pick out songs!! It was a lot of fun!! Oh and Max (one of the owners) gave me his number so that we could hang out during the day. Plus he has a wine bar that i am going to go check out soon! So everyone from JT is really helping me feel at home!! They are all very sweet people!! I’ll miss them the most!! So everything is getting better! I just take it day by day! And soon enough i’ll be in Prague!! Ok thanks again everyone for commenting and all i love you guys!!! miss ya’ll!!
I’m so thankful you have your JT family, you should let them know if any of them come to Florida they will always have family here. If your going to keep doing the DJing you need to come up with a name, sounds like you had a lot of fun. I love and miss you.

i’m glad you had fun. who was the dj? was it someone we’ve seen before? anyway, Max is so cool. too bad i never got to go to his wine bar. oh well, next time i’m in town! anywho, im happy that you’re having fun….wish i was there with you! Love ya!
miss you.love daddy
i miss you too. you can call me collect anytime. every time i go to mom’s i kiss oscar for you. he misses you but zoee is good company for him. terri & i are getting excited about our cruise. i sure hope we get to see you, i will pay for the plane ticket if you can get away. Went to Boca Raton for a conference last week. it was beautiful and i had a good time. We missed you during our first scalloping trip, Carole & i got a little crazy, i think bryan was ready to take us back to the dock but we had a blast. We were dancing like we did the night of your party. Carole & i went back to the river this weekend & pat had set up a dancing pole in the middle of the living room. We laughed and laughed. love you. karen.
