A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Alright sooo I still haven't been doing so well with these blog posts (I apologize). What I have decided to do with this post in order to best catch you up to speed is share an array of pictures from my time thus far in Tampa. In no particular order here they are...

Fr. Steve with his mother and father who spent a couple weeks with us.

Sharing a laugh with Elisa (left) and Jennyfer (right) at out St. Patricks Day dinner. 

A relaxing day enjoying some of Florida's natural beauty.

Bridget and my bathroom - hasn't worked for most of the time we have been living here. It does provide us with some laughs though.

Steinbrenner Field - Yankees Spring Training Game. Volunteered with the Mary Help Youth Group and worked concessions for a game. A percentage of the profits our stand made goes to the Youth Group as a fundraiser for future events or trips. 

Fr. Jacques (from Haiti) recently celebrated his birthday :) 

This picture as well as the two following are of my bedroom

a view of the lake from the porch - my favorite place to spend time.

we got this kitten a couple weeks after I moved to Tampa. She was supposed to help with the mice problem not sure how she is doing on that - but she sure is cute!

Back in January during our John Bosco Festival weekend.
