Brrr what a cold winter so far. Even in Florida it has been raining and cold. My brother goes to college in Pensacola, and it actually snowed there today His classes are closed for 2 days. That’s crazy for Florida. We have had a lot of rain, too. I keep trying to ride, but between the rain and the cold, it is just not happening. I hope February will bring some warmer weather to Florida.
I had a great Christmas holiday. My brother turned 21 on December 22nd and for his birthday he wanted to go to New Orleans. We were there for a couple of days, and he wanted to hit all of the spots that he has seen before but never had a chance to get a cocktail! He also wanted to play the slot machines at the casino. We had a great time, and it was all decorated for Christmas so there was plenty of lights and decorations. We hit all of the usual spots and, of course, had beignets at Cafe DuMonde and, at Dragos restaurant, flame roasted oysters! It was pretty cold when we were there but we bundled up. And with all of the walking we did, it kept us warm. I had my dog Bambi with us and one day my mom and dad took her on a 2 mile walk around the city while me and my brother enjoyed some quiet time at the hotel.

On Christmas Eve we drove to my grandma’s house in Alabama. My mom and dad stayed there and me and my brother went back to his house in Pensacola because his dog was there. We came back on Christmas day and celebrated with my grandma. It was a nice relaxing day, I got to watch football and my family went with my grandma out on her golf cart saying hi to friends and checking out the Christmas decorations.
I did just get back from a trip up to Michigan. My dad was going on a brewery tour with some friends so I got on the same flight as him and went to visit friends in Grand Rapids. I met up with a couple of friends on a Friday, and we had a good time catching up and having a great brunch. After that on Saturday me and my friend Ashley (yep same name) drove further up north to Boyne Mountain. I was on my snowboard and she was skiing. It was a beautiful resort and I would definitely go back there again if I get the chance. After our day on the slopes we went to my old racing buddy’s house to watch the first round of the Supercross races. I grew up racing with Sarah Whitmore in Michigan and we try to get together as often as we can. She can sign really well and she was my riding/racing mentor growing up. It was a great trip up to Michigan, I do miss living there maybe one day I will go back.
Everyone try and stay warm and hopefully I will be able to get out and ride soon. Hope to see ya at the track!
