Life Update: A Big Milestone & New Adventures Ahead! 🚗📚
This past week, my brother was in town, and we took a fun trip to Orlando, spending some time at Disney Springs. But the real reason for his visit? He was here to help me negotiate a major milestone—buying my first car after 20 years of living without one!
Yes, I’ve lived in Tampa for three years without a car, and let me tell you… I do not recommend it. But now, with my new set of wheels, I’m beyond excited for the freedom and new adventures ahead.
What’s on my list? Exploring more bookstores, visiting my local library more often, and (hopefully) joining a local book club. This is a new chapter, and I can’t wait to see where the road takes me.
New Tampa adventures, here I come! 🚗✨
