"Just a pebble in the water  

Can set the sea in motion 
A simple act of kindness  
 Can stir the widest ocean 
If we show a little love 
heaven knows what we could change 
so throw a pebble in the water 
 Mave a wave "

-Joe Jonas, Demi Lovato

I'm just going to quote Ms. Marla on all the quotes she found to describe our relationship

because they are AWESOME!

“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.”

“Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.”

“A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.”

AND THE ONE THAT I CAME UP WITH

"Boys may come and go, but friends, well Marla, is forever!"

I love you ms. baldomero

thanks for never forgetting about your girl even with your bay bay!

:HIGH ON LIFE:

Its crazy how one experience can change your life. How one moment can make you look at life from a different perspective. in my case. It was 10 minutes. After my jump I'm looking at life so differently. I want to do so many things and experience so much that I don't know where to start or how to start. And things that I wanted to do eventually are looking very distant now. Right now my priority is me and no one else. I want to do it all and I don't want anyone or anything in my way to block me from it.

 "As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going.”

The day I've been waiting for my whole life is here

Bucket List

SKYDIVING

AHH YES! ITS HERE!!!

and it was the most nerve wrecking experience I've ever experienced

waking up to calling everyone and telling them I love them

giving my dad and champ a HUG (yes I hugged Champ)

and being beyond high on life than I've ever been.

Signing my life away with my good luck flower nearby

by far the coolest bumper stickers I've ever seen!!!!

ADRENALINE JUNKIES

the only one that didn't sell me out

all geared up 

only crazy people do this type of stuff

so call me crazy and ill take it as a compliment!

Its always better to have a little extra spark to your life

its what keeps it interesting

now tell me you wouldn't to be strapped up to him if this was possibly the last flight you will take!

He's even concerned about having fresh breathe while up in the air

;)

13, 500 ft in the air

Skydiving complete!

So that was the best feeling I have ever felt in my life

the whole day I've been on a high

the rush while you're up there is amazing

160mph flying through the sky 

definitely worth every penny

I can't believe I finally did it

This is the one thing I've always wanted to do my whole life 

and I did it!

I've had an amazing year but this was just the icing on the cake

There's no better feeling than being able to scratch that off my bucket list

and with everything else that I want to do

I really don't think that anything compares to this

but as I scratched one thing off my bucket list today

I'm adding another

Bucket List

become a certified skydiver

yes, the rush, feeling, hype, it was completely worth it and I can't wait to do it again

and again

and again!

"I went skydiving

I went rocky mountain climbing

I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Shu

And I loved deeper 

And I spoke sweeter 

And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'

And he said some day I hope you get the chance

To live like you were dyin'"

-Tim Mcgraw

Live everyday to the fullest

doing whatever it is that makes you happy

whether its sitting at home with the one you love 

or

whether its skydiving

because tomorrow is never promised

live everyday like it will be your last

love, forgive, eat, learn, and be adventurous

whatever it is that brings a smile to your face

After another day of helping teachers out...

fried crab wontons and shrimp bisque for dinner

and I fell in love with the brickell apts

yes, its expensive

yes, its overpriced

yes, its a waste of money

but people waste money on ridiculous thing everyday

so I'm going to add something else to my bucket list and

Can't say that the ice cream made me feel completely better but it did bring a smile to face.

RIP 

Lelo

two hundred and eight

They say that calls in the middle of the night are usually the worst
but dam we didn't see this call coming today


6:10am and my dad walks in telling me to get dressed Lelo's not doing good
needless to say
we didn't make it in time


he passed.


I know its what we've all wanted for awhile, for him to just be at peace and not suffering, but "the want" is so hurtful when it becomes a reality.
You practically raised me and to see you in pain was the worst but to not have you here is so hard. I'm not going to beat myself over my head like I always do saying that I didn't visit you enough, because I did visit you. I know I could've done more but I didn't and for that I'm sorry but you're at peace now. You're with the love of your life and the mother in mine. And I know you're watching over us from up above and even though you're not there in the flesh, I know you're still here in spirit with Lela.
Lelo te quiero siempre y que descanses en paz.


take time and appreciate everything and everyone. 
Once you lose them
you can't get it back.

So after work I decided to do a little redecorating to my room

well not really, I just added frame to my room 

I was in between 2 frames

this one or one with a yellow taxi and the whole times square in the back

well my brother convinced me to pick this one.

and then

boo boo told me that the other one was more "me"

because of my New York obsession.

So I have to exchange this one now. 

p.s.

The Expendables.

 was AMAZING!!

See?

karma really is out there

I didn't break it on purpose

just came apart as I was slipping into my hair

I'm not the revengeful type of person

and I don't wish anything bad on anyone

but to you

I'm very glad this of yours broke

and well...

Last day in Key West 

woke up early to go see and be able to visit the closest point we can get to our Cuban roots

It's really crazy how many people risk their lives in search of freedom

something so close seems so far

just 90 miles to freedom

yet its the hardest miles they will ever travel

The official philosophy of Key West

"One Human Family"

To unite all people and guarantee equal rights, dignity, and respect.

 All religions, races, nationalities, classes, genders, abilities, orientations,...

We are all a part of each other.

So after our miniature trip

it was time to say my final goodbyes to la Loca

you watched me grow and were there for me all through my life

you may not have been my actual "grandmother" 

but to me 

you were so much more

I love you and you will be missed.

First time in Key West Mile 0

and it so happened to be LobsterFest in Duval Street

the whole strip was closed off 

and there was lobsters everywhere being sold

along with lots of coronas!

I guess for the lobster lovers

this was amazing

but for me

I stuck with my true love in the sun

along with lobster and beer there was vendors everywhere

and of course I got myself a little something something to put on my wall

Even in Mile 0

they are counting the miles till New York

there's a reason New York's the best!

booze in a blender?

scratched off another Margaritaville off my list.

3 down

11 to go

The reason for this trip

Happy Birthday kiddos!!

So went to this super interesting bar

everyone was

NAKED!

yes, clothing was optional

some were clothed

but some were not

not at all

everything out and about

catching some breeze

feeling free

and 

celebrating in there natural born birthday suits

Destination

Key West

Mile 0

nothing like 

road-tripping

buzzing

pigging

and

jamming out 

with the soul sistaa

yes another road-trip to add to the list

but unfortunately it didn't start off very well

as we were reaching 

our mile

I got the phone call of all phone calls

my tia abuela la loca 

had passed.

well needless to say

that's where my head was at all night 

but I had to suck up my emotions to not ruin the weekend 

for the rest of the group that still was looking to have a good time

and I was looking to not let my emotions get to me
