SO Excited!

2 days!  2 more working days and me and Linds will be on our way to sunny (albeit hot) Palm Springs!  

 It was during the dark and dismal months of winter that we decided we desperately needed something to look forward to.  What is better to look forward to than a vacation?  Once again, Lindsey's folks came to the rescue with the use of their timeshare.  We spent a couple of weeks considering a location and finally landed on Palm Springs (right price, and close enough to drive) SOLD!  That was back in February.  February!  We have been waiting for this trip for far too long, and it is FINALLY here!!!

 One positive aspect of planning this far in advance is that I had plenty of time to research our destination and nearby attractions.  Disneyland is only about 1 1/2 hours away, and Newport Beach is only 15-20 minutes from there!  We have added an evening in Anaheim so we could thoroughly enjoy Disneyland (you need a full day) AND we'll get to spend a day at the beach.  I cannot wait!  This may very well be our best trip yet...here's to hoping anyway:)  Cheers for vacations!!!

Vacation 2013

Image
After a grueling drive yesterday, we finally made it home from our week in Palm Springs!  I've spent most of today sitting on my butt trying to recover...you know, from sitting on my butt all day yesterday.  Anyway, while I'm just sitting here I thought I'd post about our vacation... If I were to sum up the extent of our trip in one word it would be "HOT".  It was bloody hot in Palm Springs, but we made the best of it!  The trick was to stay in the room during the heat of the day (we watched a lot of House Hunters) and only went out in the evening.  The trip to Disneyland and Newport Beach was a welcome respite from the heat, and got us through the last couple days of triple digit temperatures.   I will do my best to hit the high points, but it’s late and I’m tired so I make no guarantees.  I have also tried to use some of the photos not placed on FB, but there will defiantly be repeats.  Enjoy them! We began our trek early, 5:30AM ...

Bridging the gap

Image
As I decided to re-visit the world of blogging, I debated on whether I wanted to work from my previous creation, or start from scratch.  I decided to begin where I left off (no, there weren't many previous posts), but they were the beginning of this new life of mine.  In an effort to bridge the gap from 2013 to now, I decided to do a (somewhat) quick recap post half marathon. After training and killing myself for months, I finished the Halloween Half and was incredibly proud of myself.  I finished the race at 2 hours and 8 minutes, which turned out to be my personal best.  Due to knee issues, running more than 3 miles is no longer possible. The night of the half I took my battered body out for a wild night on the town with my amazing friend Derrek.  We laughed, talked, and I probably monopolized the majority of the conversation.  Overall we had a great time and I ended that weekend feeling happy, confident and ready to put myself out there. I'd lik...

Should we give it another go?

I'm currently reading  Bloom  by Kelle Hampton and I have to say that she has been the inspiration behind starting this back up.  I take pictures almost daily in order to remember these days with my boys, but photos can't provide the details hidden within the still images.  Brecken is only 2 and I feel like there are so many things I've already forgotten!  I need to create a space for not only photos, but a detailed account of their childhood.  I want to be able to look back and remember why I felt it was necessary to take a picture of Brecken smiling at his tablet, or Sawyer clawing at a gift wrapped package under the Christmas tree.  I hope to make this that space.  A place to document their little quirks; like Brecken saying "you, you" while pointing at himself because he hasn't quite grasped the concept of "me" and "you".  Or how Sawyer gets seriously offended if he rolls over ANYTHING on the floor.  These are the details I want to r...
