Sunny Marco Island

My relationship with Amy has grown so much and I really love her. This past weekend we made the 3 hour drive West and made it to Marco Island to stay with her Aunt and Uncle. This was a spectacular weekend and they were so accommodating. We had wonderful meals, including the Salmon dishes, took 2 great and sunny walks around Marco Island and along the beach and made a visit to a local fishing village and had yummy grouper sandwiches. We also made a trip to Naples on Saturday afternoon to walk around see what the life is like on the West Coast of Florida. I am so happy to start to meet Amy's family and look forward to next week when my parents get to meet her parents at Thanksgiving.


Amy's Aunt and Uncle also had a beautiful boat and we took some great pictures at the helm of the boat.

Gators Game

Amy had heard so many times how great the Gators game is to attend live. Well, she finally had the chance to attend her first game for homecoming and got to experience what an amazing experience to watch football at the Swamp. Lander flew down from DC to see the Gators play as well. Amy also got her first piece of Gator clothing as she bought a great Gators T-Shirt.

Maroon 5 Concert

Amy and I went to the Maroon 5 concert on Sunday night. We celebrated 6 wonderful months together. I couldn't imagine anything better than my relationship with Amy. She is wonderful, sweet and so funny. We mentioned a few weeks back that we wanted to go to the concert but never pursued it but Amy mentioned again and I went on Craigslist. I found 2 tickets in the lower level and we jumped right on it. The show was awesome and they played all of their current hits. It was a great way to celebrate.

This weekend we are going to see the play, Jewtopia. It is supposed to be very funny and I am very excited to go see it. Part of the ticket, because it is a YAD Program, we get to meet the cast after the show.

Disney with Amy and the Fam

This past Sunday, Amy and I went with the Gold crew (B,P,H,F,M,R,T,J,M) to MGM Studios for another Magical day. The weather was perfect and we had so much. We were able to see some shows that we hadn't seen before and my favorite was the Car Stunt Show. We ended the day with a little ping pong battle after the walk on the boardwalk.

A Sunday with Amy

This past Sunday, Amy and I spent a wonderful day together. We drove to South Tampa and rode down Bayshore Blvd and found a nice little park at the south end of Bayshore Blvd. It was called the Interbay Park. There was a boat dock and a playground but also a long fishing pier. The weather was perfect and it was so beautiful outside. We saw Pelicans and all sorts of birds.

After walking around the pier, we continued our day at Citrus Park Mall. We both wanted some things and Amy got a nice sweater and I got more polos. Just like I need, more polos. :)

It turned out to be a great day because I spent it with Amy.

Amy in New Jersey

This past week has been hard for me with Amy in New Jersey. We are in a different point of our relationship than where we were when I went to Israel and Amy went on her vacation to NJ and San Diego back in June. It is hard to be apart but this past week has realized how much Amy means to me and how much she is to be an important part of my life. Amy comes back on Saturday night and I get to see her again. I am so excited. :) She starts her new job this Monday at Lakeland Regional Medical Center as a Dietician and then back to Orlando next Wednesday night to celebrate Rosh Hashanah with the family. I am also happy that Lander finally gets to meet Amy as well.

One Month Done

I finished my first month as a WAMU Branch Manager with a bang. I knew coming into the position, it will be a challenge. So after the first month complete, I finished up on top of the region. There are 17 branches in my region that I have my numbers compared against. I actually tied for the best region in production with my old branch, Collier Commons. As my Regional Manager says, "The student keeps up with the teacher!" John (Collier Commons Manager) and I keep a friendly competition going so we are both on top of our games. This is the best this branch has done and we will go up from here. Not a bad way to start my first month!!!
