Here is a picture of the 4 of us at a recent Relay for Life event.
It all started on Thursday night when the Bieler's asked Jeremy if he would go with them to help pick out a treadmill for their home on Friday night. At first, Jeremy was hesitant, knowing that Friday night is always date night! So, panicked a little, he looked at me and asked if that would work and if we had anything else going on that night. I stood there and thought for a few seconds (of course I knew what was going on, but I couldn't just answer, right away!) and then looked at him and said that I thought that it would be fine.
After getting Jeremy all packed up for the weekend, without him knowing, we set off in search of a treadmill. About 30 minutes into the drive, Flor asked Ralf if he had missed a turn, and he assured her that he had not. Again about 15 minutes later Flor asked again and Ralf wasn't so confident this time, so Flor reached into the front glove compartment and pulled out a piece of paper wrapped in ribbon and handed it to Jeremy.
Immediately, Jeremy's face lit up and he looked at me and said, "I KNEW you had something up your sleeve!"
So, that was the beginning of our action-packed weekend! I'm excited to tell you that the weekend was filled with many firsts and many fascinating experiences.
As many of you know. Jeremy and I absolutely love experiencing new things and being extremely adventurous. This past weekend we encountered everything from jet skiing in the ocean to eating foi groi (goose liver) and escargot (snails), to sipping on Louis XIII cognac (MANY thanks to Ralf for suddenly deciding to buy a glass!).
The restaurant we ate at was literally one of the best places we have EVER eaten, and neither Jeremy nor I can really think of any place that has been better. It was absolutely amazing!
On Sunday, the 4 of us drove up Sarasota, ate lunch at our first Cuban restaurant, and then drove north to Anna Maria island. There, we ate at some fresh, delicious seafood and watched the sun slide slowly into the ocean from the beach.
It was spectacular. Truly, truly wonderful and amazing. And best of all, we got to share all of this together in the company of our wonderful friends. Ralf and Flor...THANK you!
You see, life is full of adventure, experiences, and great friends! Don't let them pass you by.
Work hard, stay focused and have a great week!
Sincerely,
Jeremy and Alissa Nelms
