So, here goes...
Day 23: Favorite Vacation
Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of this vacation... because it was taken nearly 10 years ago before I had a computer, and I have never scanned the pictures.
Anyways... my favorite vacation ever was in July of 2003 to California with Jason and his family! We were there for 10 days and we visited lots of places in CA. We began in Los Angeles. Swooning over the star-studded town, we visited the Ivy Restaurant, toured Beverly Hills, and gawked at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Packed into a rental car, we made our way to Disneyland in Anaheim. Of course, we had a magical time :) After meeting Woody and Jessie and riding James and the Giant Peach Ferris Wheel, we took a night off in Anaheim to watch "Mamma Mia!" After our fun adventure in Mickey Mouse's territory, we traveled up the coast of CA to stop at Pebble Beach and Carmel-by-the-Sea. This was one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. We walked on the beach, shopped, and listened to bagpipes that play every afternoon! Our next city to discover was San Fransisco. Listening to the seals bark, we checked out Pier 39. We walked around downtown and ate at the neatest restaurant called "Foreign Cinema." One of the most memorable days of our trip was our last... Allison's Birthday! Wineries and the Redwood Forest are not too shabby activities to do on your 10th (I think!) birthday!
This was, by far, the most unique vacation. I am crossing my fingers for us to head back out west as a family pretty soon in the future!
Day 24: Something you've learned
Oh good heavens... what one thing can I chose to share with you? I certainly learn something every day. Recently, I have learned a lot about how you cannot please everyone. As long as I am seeking Christ, honoring my husband, and doing my best in all I do... then that's really all I CAN DO! Someone is always going to have an opinion... and a criticism. But, my allegiance is to Christ, not to man! Thank goodness.
Day 25: Put your Ipod on shuffle, share first 10 songs.
1. The Lady is a Tramp - Frank Sinatra
2. Immortality - Celine Dion
3. Home of the Blues - Joaquin Phoenix (from Walk the Line)
4. Jesus Doesn't Care - Point of Grace
5. Seasons of Love - Rent
6. What Makes You Think You're the One - Fleetwood Mac
7. If I'm Not In Love - Faith Hill
8. Prayer - Celine Dion
9. Take it Back - She & Him
10. Then You Look at Me - Celine Dion
Looks like I love Celine Dion...
Day 26: Picture of my Family
My Parents, Dusty and Amanda, me, Jason, and my sister, Bethany at Disneyworld in 2010!
My In-Loves! Emily, Nancy, Allison, Jason, me, Jeffery.I'm so blessed to have two incredible families!
Day 27: Pets
Jason and I bought a less-than-a-pound Yorkie in May 2009 and our lives have not been the same since! She fills our whole hearts with happiness!
Dixie Doodle
Day 28: Something that stresses me out...
Well, the thing that probably stresses me out the most is not hearing from Jason when I know he could be driving. I get so worried if I've not heard from him! I just need to know that he is safe!
I also get stressed when things aren't picked up and clean... because I'm crazy!
Day 29: 3 wishes
1. I wish that all three of my sisters would find husbands who seek God's heart passionately.
2. I wish that my mom's brain would heal completely.
3. I wish that when people made vows (covenants with God) that they really realized what they were doing. Marriage is a vow... it is for life.
Day 30: a picture
This is our most recent picture... Charity Ball 2012.
Alright friends! That's all for tonight. I will try to start blogging more :) It is therapeutic if I actually take the time to sit down! Love ya'll!
Welcome back to blogging! That trip to the West coast sounds amazing!
