Vacation is upon us and my husband is wondering if Florida Jen will be making an appearance this week. Frankly, I think it’s the only reason he booked the trip; his fingers crossed he will get a glimpse of the rowdy and rambunctious woman he loves. Last year, I earned the nickname after a very spontaneous weekend getaway to Florida (sans kids) filled with no regulations, no plans, and no chores; there was so much laughter, we were blissfully surprised and fulfilled.

Ahh, Florida Jen. She’s a variation of this really cool and classy individual he met at a wedding back in 2003 and fell in love with soon after. She’s also mother to his three children; I’m so grateful he still craves my love and attention. Yet marriage, three kids, and full time jobs has made Florida Jen somewhat inaccessible and unavailable.

But, the good news is, I brought her along! Shh! She will make an appearance. She’s sitting in a swing by the pool and happily writing in silence. And, being the mustache has been shaved (see SOL Day 6), he will have no idea when Florida Jen hits him like a hurricane!
