ARUBA…..Blue skies and Blue waters….

A Young Defender’s week on a Magical Island.

As I have said plenty of times before, “I LOVE TO TRAVEL.” Especially to new, adventurous destinations. Aruba did not disappoint. It was Fall break 2019, myself, the wife, and kids flew there for a week. The island had so much to offer including crystal clear waters, white sand beaches, amazing food, and off road adventures. The snorkeling (my favorite hobby) was amazing! We spent so much time in the water and sun, then any other destination prior. More then anything, WE ENJOYED EACH OTHERS COMPANY! I love my family and I am blessed to have them with me in this life time!

Life is so special and amazing. Honestly, you do not have to go to any far off destination to really appreciate what you have, but it is still fun to do so. As a Young Defender, I feel we have two main goals in life. First to enjoy the present and appreciate what you have now (especially the special people in your life). Finally, to aim to do great things for the world around you. The great things can vary depending on your individual goals, but the attitude on how you achieve them is the same.

Just a couple weeks after our latest vacation, I was attending a funeral. It reminded me how our time in this life is in deed limited. So do not waste time on frivolous things. Live in the now and do great things in your life!
