I had a gut-wrenching decision to make these past 4 days, a decision I did not by any means take lightly. As everyone knows, I loved being in the newspaper business, and had Lois Lane as my role model. When I left 2 years ago, it was a tough decision. I loved being a reporter, and I think I was good at it. I floated around until I landed here in Panama City. I had some hard times this past year, but I came through it and now my life is heading upward. I was offered a job, one that would have taken me back to NY, and as hard as it was, I declined the offer. I miss my family like crazy, I do, but I couldnt let that sway my decision. Here is why I did not take the job: I love it here, its that simple. My life now is where I want it to be, for me. I am the (almost) owner of a car, apartment, a business and I absolutely love taking pictures here. I love my beach job, and I cannot imagine not seeing the Boys of Shores any longer. Hell, I still miss my boys from Sears. Avery Baker, David Baker, William Contreras, Jan Dvorak are very special to me now, and I would miss them terribly. Jessica Lucas and Justin Lee, well, I would not miss their wedding for the world, no matter how much money I was offered. They stood by me through that whole mess, and I now consider them family. Kristina Aaron, Don Dusty Johnson, Tyler Townsend and so many others would also be missed by me. My daughter here will give birth in September, and that is something I cannot miss. I have lived my life pleasing everyone, its now time for me. I love photography, and here, in florida, is where I want to do it. I miss you Janine Caswell, Genesis Caswell, Justin and Gabriel, Carrie Heath, Cindy Heath, Robin Hall and you, mom and dad, like crazy. I love you all very much. But this decision is for me. I hope you understand. So Florida, you are stuck with me.
