Rod and Jess’ Blog

This past weekend Rod and I went down to Sanibel Island to visit my parents for my mom’s birthday. It was a surprise trip and a whirlwind of a weekend! A few pictures from the trip:

This is what a week in Sanibel does for my parents!

This is what happens when my mom gets a picture with me!

A great picture of the sky after sunset.

It was a great trip visiting unit 7B at the Shell Island Beach Club.  I just wish we could have had more than just one night to take it all in!  Until next time San-Cap!

The view from the balcony in the morning!

This past week we lost a family member and had our bachelor/bachelorette weekend (more on that later). It’s something that I’m finding very hard to deal with, Mark had already RSVP’d for the wedding and we were looking forward to his “joie de vivre” during the reception.  We’ll just have to work extra hard to make sure the party is still happening without him. 

Because of this, we’ll be in Cincinnati tomorrow for the funeral and the write-up of the weekend will be delayed a bit.  We did have a great weekend despite the dark news at the start.

We’ll miss you Skinny, you better make sure the party has started up in heaven for us!
