No I am not actually packing my bags and moving to a new city, although I wouldn't be opposed to that either. I am actually just moving my blog. I have housed it here at blogger for well over a year and decided to bite the bullet and move to WordPress. Please note I am not a coding genius nor do I have a clue about designing a blog but guess what I am going to learn as I go. </div>

I am alone or are there others who get motivated to workout just by having cute workout gear? I mean there are days I just don't want to spend the time to workout and then I look at my clothes and think I didn't buy these to sit in a drawer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a few favorite places to buy workout gear but one of my absolute tried and true stores in Nike and Nike Factory Outlet. Not only are they stylish, comfortable but they last a long time. I am not getting a dime for writing any of these words, they are my own, I just wanted to get that out there! :) </div>

The other thing I love about these two pieces is also the versatility I get from them. They are great work out pieces but you can go from gym to brunch with the a few sprays of dry shampoo, a hat and sunglasses. </div>

I keep my workout gear pretty simple with greys, blues, blacks and whites. However my shoe game I like to step up <strike>one or</strike> twelve notches.

I will start by saying this recipe makes a lot of cookies. So when you make then have a plan to take them to a party or give to a few friends, otherwise you might as well sit down with a big glass of milk and enjoy. Every. Last. Crumb. </div>

A crucial part of this entire recipe is the butter. If it is too hot your cookies will end up more mushy than chewy, but if it's too cool than your cookies will have too much crunch. I myself have done both of these so I can say from first hand experience the butter is important. My piece of advice. Start with melting the butter and then gather your ingredients and mix them together. Once you get to the butter it should be just the right temperature for your recipe. </div>

When you start mixing the wet and dry ingredients together you will notice the dough isn't overly greasy or sticky. This is one of my favorite parts. It is tacky and sticks to itself but you have to kind of press it together. </div>

The recipe calls for one and a half cups chocolate chips. Feel free to abide by that rule if you deem necessary. I personally am a chocolate fan so I put the whole 11.5oz bag into the mix. </div>

So this was the last cookie dough ball I made. I kind of got in the rhythm of making them and forgot to snap pictures (oops!). As you can see the dough doesn't really stick to the bowl much and I had to press those chocolate chips in. That may or may not have something to do with my overuse of chocolate but shhhh that can be our little secret. </div>

<b><u>Ingredients</u>:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 cups + 2 tbsp all purpose flour</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 tsp baking soda</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 tsp salt<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (I prefer sea salt) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
12 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 cup packed brown sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 cup granulated sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 tsp vanilla extract</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 1/2 cups (or the whole bag) semi-sweet chocolate chips</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Directions</u>:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Preheat oven to 325* and adjust racks to upper lower middle slots. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Trust me, go the extra step and line your cookie sheets. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl and then set to the side. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- By hand (my method) or with an electric mixer combine butter and sugars together until they are combined thoroughly. Next beat in your egg, yolk and vanilla. Finally add your dry ingredients slowly and mix (on low with mixer) until combined. Now it's time to add the chocolate chips. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Start rolling palm sized dough into balls. Grab the dough ball and using your fingertips pull the dough apart into two equal halves. You will lay the dough balls on the lined cookie sheet with the jagged section up. Cooking time is approximately 14-16 minutes. You will rotate the cookie sheets halfway through the cooking time. The edges should be harden but not the centers, they will once out of the oven.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Side note: If you have more than one round of dough balls to cook, make sure to check your second round sooner as they don't take as long to bake as your first batch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Do you have a favorite cookie recipe? If so, let me know what it is. I am always up for trying new recipes. </div>

So until about 4 months ago, I didn't even know Vlogging was a thing. I know...I know I am so behind the times. Well after a few months I saw the benefits that vlogging can bring to a blog and just to a person's life in general. Imagine having snippets of your life in video form. It's pretty awesome in my opinion.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I am personally a fan of vlogging because I like the insight it gives me to the blogger/youtuber. Two of my absolute favorite vloggers to watch are <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/WhatIHeartToday" target="_blank"><span style="color: #660000;">Lily Pebbles</span></a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ViviannaDoesMakeup" target="_blank"><span style="color: #660000;">Viviana Does Makeup</span></a>. They are both from the UK and they are both hilarious and serious beauty bloggers to follow. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So this leads to me the point of this post...would you watch someone's vlog? Do you currently? Honestly I think for me, it will be a personal decision but I am always interested in seeing what you guys have to say. So let me know your thoughts and any other good vloggers to follow. </div>

Not that this is at all what my vlogs would look like but I took this video while at the beach with my sister and told her I would post it on here and I keep my word. Also just so you know I had to crop the video to send from my phone since I couldn't find my card...vlog fail! haha </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">Football hasn't always been in my blood, in fact, growing up I was a HUGE basketball fan. It wasn't until I went to college that football became such a big part of my life. You see at the University of Georgia, football isn't just a sport it is a way of life. A weekend in Athens is an experience I believe everyone should have. Saturdays in Athens are not a joke. We arrive early. We arrive rowdy. And we arrive dressed to the nines. So it the last part that I am going to explain a bit further. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The wonderful group over at </span><a href="http://www.paulfredrick.com/pfdefault.aspx" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: black; font-size: x-small;"><b>Paul Fredrick</b></span></i></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"> asked me to put together his and her game day outfits that represent my favorite team. I happily accepted and got to work creating two dressier game day looks for you guys. I know you are probably thinking. Did she say dress?<b> </b>Yes I did. You see some people think that game day attire is simply shorts or jeans and a jersey BUT in the south we view football as a religion and if you dress up for church then you best believe you dress up for the football game. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT8M7DvCIeYQQfUAf5FVJvs9k-SctuxWPtOYbJBqFOxtVf8wun5qzezv_CkZ2XrjKogxMw8haFE__k7R4RH1sWvoOIQSmparVxsUjLhFSbvMSjj448u2m7UxaQfIj4vUHgVlW82MOplVIA/s1600/UGA+Game+Day+Outfit+for+Men.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT8M7DvCIeYQQfUAf5FVJvs9k-SctuxWPtOYbJBqFOxtVf8wun5qzezv_CkZ2XrjKogxMw8haFE__k7R4RH1sWvoOIQSmparVxsUjLhFSbvMSjj448u2m7UxaQfIj4vUHgVlW82MOplVIA/s1600/UGA+Game+Day+Outfit+for+Men.jpg" height="378" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is such a classic look for guys. I recommend starting your outfit with a<strong><em> </em></strong></span><a href="http://www.paulfredrick.com/Catalog/PFProducts.aspx?category=Dress_Shirts;clearance=No;" target="_blank"><strong><em><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">dress shirt</span></em></strong></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;">.</span> Paul Fredrick has a great selection but this <span style="color: black;">red and white striped shirt</span> was my favorite. Then you move to selecting your bowtie. Of course you can wear a tie but I personally prefer a gentleman in a bowtie. This <span style="color: black;">black and white polka dot bowtie</span> was the perfection addition to the striped shirt. Pants are a bit easier as you just need a good pair of black pants however I will say PLEASE get flat front ones. No one likes a pleat. This pair of <span style="color: black;">flat front black pants</span> is a great staple to have in any wardrobe. The finish touch will the be these <span style="color: black;">black winged oxfords</span> which add an extra dash of sophistication to the outfit.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This is definitely an outfit I would gladly wear on game day. Sometimes red can be a hard color to pull off (on my skin it definitely is) so I opt for items that are black with red details. This<b> </b><span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.mytheresa.com/en-us/kariertes-wollkleid-jolie-mit-leder.html?utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=polyvore" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank"><b>black and red plaid dress</b></a><i> </i>is fashionable and functional, it's wool, so you will stay warm in the colder months or at the bowl game (God willing we go to one every year). Next I add this simple <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Hallhuber+Turtleneck+shirt+Portland/206514685,default,pd.html?_$ja=tsid:45090|kw:Polyvore|cgn:92295&awinDCS=3100_1421553080_4edb35ae79ca760c90c22ed60655bec2||0||0||0||42c43b04767e42a88c079b05bfd1a897&awc=3100_1421553080_4edb35ae79ca760c90c22ed60655bec2&cm_mmc=AWIN-_-Deeplink-_-NULL-_-NULL&istCompanyId=17910aed-1bae-4362-9580-b523eb87a91e&istItemId=imrqpqmx&istBid=t" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"><i><b>black turtleneck</b></i></span></a> underneath the dress.

A dash of gold brings some add luxe to this outfit. This <b><i><a href="http://www.6pm.com/kate-spade-new-york-boxcar-chain-necklace-clear-gold" target="_blank">Kate Spade link necklace</a></i></b> is such a good staple piece. These booties are extra comfortable, which you will need, after hours of standing on your feet. If you are from anywhere other than the south, you are probably thinking HEELS?? Is she crazy? Well I and some 30, 000 other girls are who decide fashion is a must on Saturdays. Thankfully these <a href="http://www.colehaan.com/cassidy-buckle-bootie-black/D41598.html?dwvar_D41598_color=Black&dwvar_D41598_width=B#cgid=womens_shoes_boots&start=26" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: black;"><b>Cole Haan booties</b></span></i></a> are extra forgiving on your feet. The last item is this classic black <a href="http://www.toryburch.com/kira-envelope-cross-body/41149590.html?start=2&dwvar_41149590_color=012" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"><i><b>cross body bag</b></i></span></a> from Tory Burch. Don't get me wrong I love a big bag, like most women, but carrying around my totes for 10+ hours is a no for me. This bag will fit everything you need for the day and night. </span></span></span></div>

So if you don't already know I have a serious blogger crush on Hallie over at <i> <span style="color: black;"><a href="http://coralsandcognacs.com/" target="_blank">Corals + Cognacs</a>.</span> </i>I read her blog religiously and let me tell you if you haven't read it before well you will love her afterward.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Funny I mention love because Hallie wrote <a href="http://coralsandcognacs.com/2015/01/ny-times-study-36-questions-how-to-fall-in-love.html#more-17316" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: black;">a post on Wednesday</span></i></a> about how you can fall in love with anyone after answering a simple 36 questions. If you check out her post, she answered some of the questions on the list in true Hallie humor fashion (told you, serious blogger crush) and then invited fellow bloggers and readers to do the same. </div>

I won't say that my parents didn't put me in the middle because they did, but I hope in hindsight they realize the tole it took on me as a child and person. My little sister was born when I was 9.5 years old. I didn't want her at first but grew to love her. I moved to Michigan when I was 12 and lived there for a month before coming to visit my dad for Christmas and he told me he filed for custody. I definitely went through a mom/daughter struggle in my later teens. I lived with my dad and Teresa until my sophomore year of college when I moved on campus at Young Harris College, one mile from my house. I joined a local sorority and met some of my best friends. I also played golf at YHC. After graduating from YHC, I moved to Athens and eventually graduated from UGA. I got a job in Charlotte and moved there knowing absolutely know one. I lived with a wonderful roommate who has become one of my best friends and introduced me to my current employers. After working for them for 1.5 years, they asked me to move to Mobile and handle our bank relationships. </b></span></span></div>

This past weekend I went to Navarre, Florida to visit family. It is such a great place to visit and I am glad my grandma is moving there soon. It isn't overly populated, touristy is not a word I would use to describe it and you can bet that you won't find building after building along the beach. All of this is what makes Navarre a great place to visit. </div>

My sister and I went down to check out the beach and of course take pictures. I am not a beach person, at least not in summer, but Janaury at the beach now we are talking. It was chilly but not cold, there wasn't many people there and the gray day made the beach seem like it had a bleached filter over it. It was beautiful!! </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well guys, I did what I always tell myself I won’t do each Christmas;
I spent way more money than I planned. I bought everyone exactly what I wanted
to buy them BUT I didn’t stop there, I decided I needed some things as well. I
can talk myself into <s>almost</s> anything, especially it comes in a pretty
package….I am such a sucker. ;) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So what does this mean for January? Well it means that
unless it is an actual necessity I can’t buy anything. This includes using gift
cards to make a purchase. I need to learn to say no, so what better way to
start off the year than by budgeting. The bigger picture reason for this is
that I have a few friends getting married this year and with showers, gifts and
traveling I need to save all the money I can. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My other big focus for saving money is my 28<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>th</sup>
birthday. I know, I know my birthday isn’t until November but guys I am a
planner and I LOVE my birthday so…..I already picked out the place…NAPA VALLEY.
I sometimes change my mind so don’t hold me to it but I will definitely be
traveling somewhere. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So what that means I can spend money on is groceries, gas
and any toiletries I run out of (which is highly unlikely). </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you read my <a href="http://simpleesampson.blogspot.com/2015/01/new-yearnew-goals.html" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: #45818e;">last post</span></i></a>, then you know that living a healthier lifestyle is a top priority for me this year and the years to come. So for a Christmas present to myself I purchased <a href="http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/focus-t25-workout.do?e=346915c" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: #45818e;">Focus T25 </span></i></a>from Beachbody. Before I go in to why I chose this program, let me tell you a little bit about how I got to this place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwmm_tTPhCu7_3oU7ZmlkVrLC4fp1Ad9V0C25ZfWbU-sW8fwFoIRfHJDoMUnr3jVgsvy7_T1zSN-x4Fj-sNMpo7ALGarbSYIl7b6lkLDb24yJoMMCrF0Z3wu4IfMgpKh7jdHP3UzbM4O0-/s1600/DVDs+++Guides.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwmm_tTPhCu7_3oU7ZmlkVrLC4fp1Ad9V0C25ZfWbU-sW8fwFoIRfHJDoMUnr3jVgsvy7_T1zSN-x4Fj-sNMpo7ALGarbSYIl7b6lkLDb24yJoMMCrF0Z3wu4IfMgpKh7jdHP3UzbM4O0-/s1600/DVDs+++Guides.jpg" height="640" width="554" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have struggled with weight pretty much my whole life. After college, I moved in with someone who I met the day before and quickly learned she was quite health conscious. Good news for me is that her healthy habits started to rub off on me and so I started training for a half marathon. I was making smart meal choices, running and really sticking to my goals. In April about three months before my half marathon I got an awful pain in my right knee. Fun Fact: I tore my ACL once in middle school and then again in high school. After a week of my knee not getting better I went to the doctor and he told me what I was dreading...that I would need knee surgery in order to remove more of my meniscus that was trapped between the bones in my knee. After surgery he told me that running was no longer an option and my heart broke. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fast forward a few years and I haven't really committed to a healthy lifestyle since then. So what better time to start than the new year. Thanks to some guidance and group challenge put together by one of my favorite bloggers <span style="color: #45818e; font-style: italic;"><a href="http://marionberryfitness.com/" target="_blank">Marion</a> </span>I chose Focus T25 to help get me to a happy and healthy place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me it was a no brainer, no equipment is required at least in the Alpha phase and since I travel every other week, I could always just pack these DVDs with me. Oh and of course the best party it is only TWENTY FIVE minutes. I mean seriously who says no to less than 30 minutes for a workout. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

So far I am loving the workouts and am amazed and how much can be packed into 25 minutes. As I continue with this workout I keep you updated on my thoughts and results. So here is to a new year and a healthier version of me. </div>

I have to confess something….I am one of THOSE people. As 2014
came to an end and 2015 started I reflected on the past year and all the ups
and downs I have gone though and what I wanted to accomplish in 2015. So I
thought well maybe you guys wanted to know what I want to accomplish in 2015. </div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
In past years I have always started the
year off with I want to lose ___ pounds or I want to follow ____ eating
regimen. This year I decided I just want to make healthier choices on a daily
basis and not set a certain weight to reach or a certain food plan to follow. I
did purchase Focus T25 from Beachbody, which will allow me to workout on work
travels (which happen a lot) and doesn’t require equipment. </div>

I am such a bad picture taker guys. Partly
because I don’t want to tote around a camera and the other part because I tell
myself it is better to live in the moment and really absorb it. The last

the year of pictures! </div>

Well what better way to welcome myself back to this blog than to give you guys an update on my 101 things in 1001 days. I am excited to report I have marked few more off my list and look forward to marking some more off over the next few months. </div>

Since moving to Mobile, New Orleans has been on the top of my list and for my birthday this year, I decided it was the perfect destination. I was lucky enough to spend my 27th year in the beautiful city of New Orleans and cross off an item on my 101 list. While in New Orleans we ate delicious food, of course we visited <b style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.cafebeignet.com/" target="_blank">Cafe Beignet</a>, </b>and the highlight of my weekend was meeting Manny Montana live and in person. If you don't watch <a href="http://www.usanetwork.com/graceland" target="_blank"><i><b>Graceland on USA</b></i></a> then you need to. </div>

After my trip to New Orleans I had two days before I hopped on a plane to San Diego, insert crossing off item number 58, Packing in under 45 minutes. Between work and laundry I didn't have time before Tuesday to pack so about 45 minutes before I had to be at the airport I packed up my suitcase. It was a super proud moment. </div>

I am 1/3 of the way to owning a nice set of luggage. I have been traveling a lot for both work and pleasure and so I decided it was time to invest in a good medium sized suitcase. My roommate was thankful too, since I had been using hers. I decided on a Samsonite, <a href="http://www.belk.com/AST/Main/Belk_Primary/PRD~6200167SAMSO6630MZ/Samsonite+Aspire+GR8+Luggage+Collection+++Black.jsp?navPath=For_the_Home/Shop/Luggage&ZZ%3C%3EtP=4294922376%2B4294942293&fO=Category_Path%3A%2FBelk_Primary%2FFor_the_Home%2FLuggage&ZZ_OPT=Y&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302215688&bmUID=kDyrMf6&ViewAll=&changeViewInd=" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"><i><b>this one</b></i></span></a>, in blue.

<br />
So radio silence over here for almost a month. I kind of stopped posting, well if I am honest, because I didn't think I or this blog were good enough. I was constantly comparing myself to others out there. Thankfully some good friends of mine convinced me that you have to start somewhere and so that somewhere is here and now. I've read that a blog needs to have a clear purpose, if you want fashion post fashion, food post recipes, travel well travel, but the problem is I am not sure what I want to write about. I really want a way to look back at my life and have a diary of it almost. That includes fashion, DIYs, decorating, food and life in general. So I can't promise xyz, Monday through Friday but I can promise you will always get me. <br />
<br />
So to start off, let me update you on where I am currently typing from. As of July 6th I am resident of Mobile FREAKING Alabama. Did I ever imagine myself saying that....hell no, but here I am and I am happy I did it. My job offered me a new position in a more sales like role, it is kind of a trial run for us all. For me to discover if I like sales and for them to determine if they need someone permanently in Mobile. So what do you do when offered a position in Mobile, AL? You say yes, drop head first into it all and try your hardest. That is seriously all you can do. <br />
<br />
I drove straight from Savannah, GA where I spent the 4th of July with some friends. Which by the way, if you have never been please put it on your must see list. The city is beautiful and historic and full of real southern charm. I have been a few times and each time I love it more. This time might have been my favorite and one filled with countless memories. Window singing to people at midnight, so much soccer watching, fireworks, Wet Willies, good food and friends. <br />

Lately my Pinterest and blog search have been all about home interiors. I noticed that I am constantly drawn to open shelving. Which got me thinking, why don't more people have open shelving? You can display your dishes, unique glasses, fun storage containers and so much more. Below are some of my favorite open shelving finds. </div>

<span style="color: #660000;">My first trip out of the country via an airplane meant my first stamp in my passport and I literally squealed with excitement when they stamped my passport. I also may or may not have gotten a funny look or two when this all went down. </span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;">I decided on my converse for flight wear. Comfortable and my feet won't freeze. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">We arrived Tuesday night in Santo Domingo. JP (John Pierre) who is head of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/By-Grace-Alone-Ministries/107393606004440" target="_blank"><strong><em><span style="color: #660000;">By Grace Alone Ministries</span></em></strong></a> and the one in charge of Fuente de Vida picked us up and took us to a local joint for dinner, Barra Payan. </span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"> A delicious Barra Especial without mayo. It was chicken, ham and turkey with tomato and cheese and it was delicious. Also minimal English is spoken in this part of the DR, so we were grateful for John Pierre's excellent Spanish. </span><br />

I <span style="color: #660000;">will never get this fruit juice this fresh here in the US. I'm currently craving a Passion Fruit juice as I sit here and type this. Man it was so delicious. </span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"> Instead of selling land and such people just abandon their lots for other locations. Real estate is not a booming market down here. Mario showed us around the area he lived and all the animals and fruits he has in his back yard. </span><br />
