So I went to Florida this past weekend. My cousin Shane has been addicted to drugs for about 23 years and finally completed a Rehab program. Hes doing really really great and we couldnt be more proud of him. His rehab center was in Boynton Beach, but we stayed in Boca Raton and also took a day trip to Miami!
thought this was pretty, took it out the window on the way to our hotel
view from my hotel room
The Faith Farm (the rehab center)
waiting for Shane to come from his dorm the sunset and the trees looked amazing
After being reunited with us (we havent seen him in 6 years) we went to dinner
My family :)

My drink "sunset on the beach" :P
please pay no attention to how shitty I look in this picture haha BUT I am a huge fan of the Miami and now LA Ink shows so I walked a few blocks over to the shops.
This is the shop they used to film in but now its just used for their retail store, and I got a shirt that I am wearing later there.
the new shop and bike detailing place. It was awesome, I wished I had taken pictures inside because I could have gotten a picture with Chris Garver how walked right by me to go get lunch It was pretty cool ;)
/end nerdiness.
The next day was the graduation ceremony and church service
Shanes graduating class, ten guys stuck it out through 9 months. There were 35 to begin with
Shane giving his testimony, which was so amazing. Hes a brilliant guy. I would have loved to know what would have happened for him if he hadnt made the decisions he had.
Getting his certificate
