Bienvenidos a Miami

I have now worked two days at my uncle Ray's law firm. Yesterday afternoon (Monday), I must admit, I was almost in tears. Everything seemed so confusing, I hit a wall every time I tried to work on an assignment... My dad texted me and said "HE doesn't give us more than we can handle." While that biblical reference actually refers to temptation, maybe God promised to save me from the temptation to run out of the office into the Miami streets while pulling my hair out!

Today though, I am quite happy to report, was a much better day at work! I feel more comfortable with the jobs I am asked to do as time goes on. More than anything, I want to be helpful to uncle Ray and not a burden.

And I love living at my aunt and uncle's house! My cousins are so sweet and we have a lot of fun. Rebecca is 13, so she is with her friends a lot and I don't see too much of her. Ray Joseph is 11 and he is quiet, loves sports, and is a sweetheart. Raegan is in first grade and is a ball of energy! She always has something funny to say and never misses an opportunity to be in the spotlight. She is graciously sharing her room with me this summer.

Last night there was a bad thunderstorm here in Miami. Ray Joseph, Raegan and I played the game "Sorry!" and comforted the frightened dogs- Jasmine the golden retriever and Coco and Lola the chihuahuas. We laughed and had a great time! Rebecca was over at a friend's house and had a tough time getting home because of the rain. The land is so flat here that the streets hold all the rain water, like a mini flood.

If you are interested, you can see this clip of my uncle arguing with Terry Bollea (better known as Hulk Hogan). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMVpm1cpZsA His firm is a family law firm, so he handles divorce cases, etc.
