Butt kickin' and a Barbeque

Alright...for those of you who do not know my brother Greg *aka fitness fanatic-guru*
Let me enlighten you.....
Back in high school the guy would to a brisk "3-mile morning run" before school followed by daily weight room training and various freakish protein / creatine shakes.
Add the fact that he is a Marine and you've got what I call ' A workout Gremlin' **not the evil gremlin...but the fuzzy cute one**

Anyways, he took me to his gym, LA Fitness, and for two hours we did weight training and cardio.
My butt and quads have NEVER been this sore in my entire life....not even in band back in high school. I will say this though, he is a kick arse trainer and I am looking forward to him kicking my butt into shape when I permanently move down here. *yes....I'm a bit of a masochist*

After our workout we picked up some groceries, went home and hopped in the pool.
Greg made the most AMAZING turkey burgers I've EVER had!
Luanne, Phil and a friend of Greg and Rosie's *who happens to look like JD from Scrubs* came over and joined us. Here are some pics from last night:

Okay, so I have SOME pictures to post but some of the good ones are on the internal memory of my camera *and I don't have my USB cable with me* But, without further adeau here is my vacation so far... **Dad, the house pics are on the internal memory until I get home** The following pics are from my first night in Florida at Luanne & Phil's house:

I'm so happy...I can't sleep!

I'm officially in Florida! The flights were pretty short and not delayed too badly.
I can't even begin to explain how at ease I feel here, nor can I express my joy with seeing my family again.

Plain and simple....God is good.

I'll do a real update later with pictures, but for now I'm going to enjoy every second I am here!

I love you all

YAY
