Day 19 - Home sweet home

We made it home and it is nice to be home. I do wish life could be a vacation but then again I would probably weigh hundreds of pounds over what I should! 

Oh my the scale was not nice this evening. But tomorrow I will get back on track, I wouldn't have changed a thing. 

We went by the house and we actually were able to walk through it! 

We are so exited but we know it will take a while and we will have to be patient.

We had the pleasure of meeting some neighbors they came over and introduced themselves. Very sweet makes things feel even more special. Can't wait to see what comes next. I promise to keep everyone posted. 

Day 18-Peaceful

Today has been a good day. We did a little shopping. Found some good deals and now we rest until we begin our journey home tomorrow. Last night I caught s beautiful picture of a rainbow.

It was a perfect and peaceful. As I start to begin to mentally prepare for work again I want to keep this picture in mind. How beautiful and how peaceful it seemed. Visiting with my good friend Christine reminds me of how joyous life can be when you relax and not take life so seriously. 

Met this girl nearly twenty years ago and even though we no longer can visit each other everyday, every weekend or even monthly when we do see each other it's like we were together everyday.  Love her  and feel blessed to call her and her lovely family, my family. 

God sure does put wonderful people in my life and everyone of them has their special place in my heart. I am a lucky girl! 

 

Day 17- A little bit of Gruene Hall

Today we visited Gruene. Stopped to eat at the Gristmill.

The food was good, service was great. It is a unique place. There was a live band pretty nice! 

Pit stop in Lakeway to visit a dear friend! Loving vacation! 

Day 16- San Antonio Missions

Today we visited two missions. Concepcion and San Jose. 

Wow! Is all I can say. Although it was hard to read all I would have liked to have read about them (with a 4 year old) I was truly amazed. 

From the stone to the exceptionally tiny rooms it was amazing to think that families once gathered within these missions. 

Michael decided he had had enough and we went back to the river walk and took a boat tour. This of course was what he had been waiting for. 

He was obviously content. It was a good day here in San Antonio. The day was even better when I received the following picture of Lauren they have finally made it to Virginia. 

Looking forward to tomorrow. We will see what the day will bring. 

Day 15- culture and heritage feeling blessed!

Today we started our vacation in San Antonio with baby Michael. He proved that he is no longer a baby. 

We were happy listening to the music but he was determined to get out and dance. 

Gosh, I feel blessed. He loves music as much as his parents and it doesn't matter the language he loves the beat. 

The one thing my grandfather was good at ( very talented ) was music he played various instruments and could write songs. That hooked you. 

Tonight my baby boy made me proud not only to be his mom but also a reminder as to how important it is to pass on culture. He is his mothers child! 

Day 14 - Happy Anniversary

Six years ago today I married my best friend. Since I have met him he has truly taught me what patience is (or looks like, I am still working on it), he has believed in me when I didn't believe in myself, and he always supports any new adventures I may attempt to do. He reminds me everyday that he loves me.
I love him, Without him we ( the kiddos too) would not have the life we have. I do not mean material things I mean the caring, nurturing and full life we have. Because of Brandon we are able to dream and accomplish many things together.
He doesn't always see the things I do, he also doesn't believe he could be so important. But he is and I thank God for everyday he allows me to share with him. He truly is a blessing.
I want to dedicate the following song to my best friend who together we complete each other,
We are grateful for the past and wouldn't change a thing. Lucky to have the now, in which we cherish everyday.

The next video is our wedding song....it says it all, when he chose this song it was perfect and we live it.
I fall everyday....in many ways.....and he is always there. Feeling like the luckiest girl in the world.

Rest - Day 13

Tonight I am sitting here enjoying a glass of wine.
My head is empty
words are just not flowing.
So I will keep this short
As I relax with those I call mine.
Tomorrow is a new day and I am sure I will awake
with a fresh new glow
and a brain that will create a new line.
