i havent really been doing too much this weekend. drove to st augustine and took some pictures while in search of a place to eat. at the flea market they had two tigers on display for donations and pictures. i thought that they were really beautiful and well taken care of. They have torn down the old bridge for safety reasons that allowed passage to the island in st augustine, which is sad, because it was a really beautiful structure, now there is this huge metal thing that looks really out of place in the harbor. as for the family we are all doing good. the pregnancy is progressing rapidly and new years eve is closer everyday:P

much love to all of my friends. enjoy the remainder of your weekend!
