Disneyland!

I had such a great time on my trip to Disneyland! Last week I headed to Anaheim with two friends and my mom. We went to celebrate my mom's birthday. He took off around 2 pm last Wed. and got there around 6pm to check in to our hotel (Hampton Inn) Then drove to Downtown Disney to eat at the Rainforrest Cafe (Yummy) finished off the night by walking around Downtown Disney....After a great breakfast(thanks to Hampton Inn) we got on the trolley and headed out for a fun filled day at Disneyland! Short lines made the day very nice (it was a little warm) but overall had a great time. We rode every ride we wanted except for Indiana Jones....everytime we went to get on the ride it was broken down! So we never did get to ride it. After a very long and tiring day we went back to the hotel. Bright and early on Friday we headed down to breakfast and then off to Disneyland to try and get on Indiana Jones(still broken) and Pixie Hollow..then off to California Adventures. There we Soared over California, Screamed in California, drove down the crazy road of Mullholand and were terrorized in a tower! All in all it was a great day! We finished off the evening with dinner at Red Robin and soaking our tired feet in the hot tub! Saturday after checking out of hotel we headed off to do some serious shopping at the Citidel in Commerce, after a delicious lunch at Ruby's Diner we headed home! Now that is what I call a great time!

Holiday Weekend

Yea, for a three day weekend! This last week has been a pretty good week even though it started out not so good. Last weekend Cody went to ride his bike in Exeter at Rocky Hill, when he came home around 8 pm he said that he could not find his wallet and he really did not know even where he might have lost it. Cody and I drove back to where he had parked his car at the bottom of Rocky Hill and looked around to see if we could find it...which we had no luck. So when we got home we searched his room hoping to find it, but no luck. So then he had the task of canceling the bank card....which he did. On Monday he went to DMV and applied for a replacement drivers license....our main concern was that a dishonest person would find his wallet and use the drivers lic and social security card to ruin his credit and possibly his name. Cody became very concerned about this after one of his classes at school was talking about identity theft and how you should never carry you social security card with you because if anyone got your number they could really do alot of damage....I had been praying the entire time that God would allow an honest person to find his wallet and return it. Just a few days ago Cody received an envelope in the mail containing his wallet with everything in it! There was no name or anything, so we were so excited! God does answer prayers. As soon as he got the wallet he took the Social Security card out!

Last night we invited my brother and his wife over for dinner and swim. The nights are little cooler so the pool is not as warm....I was the only one to get in the pool. Everyone else thought the water was to cold, but it was nice to sit outside and eat. Caleb also invited several friends over to eat before they headed out to the movies. I love to have people over to eat it always makes me feel so good just to sit and enjoy company.

Well, I hope that everyone enjoys their long weekend. I know that I am going to enjoy just relaxing and hopefully cleaning and organizing my bedroom.

It's September already!

I can't believe that in just a few short hours we will already be in the month of September! Where has this year gone? The years just seem to fly by so quickly but yet I never seem to really get anything accomplished. I have been trying to lose weight for the last how many years? It never seems to work...I have stuck pretty good to my commitment of going to the gym...thanks to Caleb who always asks, "Do you want to go to the gym tonight?" I know he likes to go, so I always tag along and end up glad that i have gone and worked out. And then there is Cody asking if I want to ride around the block on my bike with him...so I go so I can spend some time with him....and get some much need exercise also! I am glad that they still want me to go with them. Both boys are at COS now....Caleb just started and Cody is taking some transfer classes(he already earned his AA) He hope to transfer somewhere by next fall...:( I am very proud of him but don't want him to leave...but I guess that day has to come. I can't imagine not seeing him everyday. I am back at work...still working as an instructional aide in a fourth and fifth grade class this year....I really enjoy working with the kids....This is my 5 year at Conyer and it is fun to see the kids growing and changing through the years. I will be starting the AWANA program next week at our church...excited to get started but overwelmed with all that has to be done....well other then all that I just try to get through each day with the help of God. He has blessed my life so much and I am so thankful for the family and friends that He has put into my life.
