Vacation

It's almost here...one of the best times of the year. No it's not a holiday..or maybe it is..more like a floating holiday you can take any time of the year you want.. Vacation! It has been over two years since my last real vacation. We plan them all the time but to actually go on one...well that's a different story. But,we finally did it and i'm so excited. We are going to California! We're going to visit our "sister". She's our best friend but more like family now. Come to think of it two years ago our last vacation was to see her too. i cannot believe it's been two years since I've had a real go-out-of-town-and-forget-about-your-real-life kinda vacation. And boy do I need this! You don't realize how much you really need to get away and refresh yourself until you're on the brink of it. This whole week I have felt overwhelmed and exhausted(that could be in part because I've been going non-stop...just worked out that way). But God knows exactly what you need and when you need it. So I am believeling that with this vacation comes a time of refreshing, peace and happiness. I'm gonna soak up the sun and enjoy every single minute of the time I'm away and come back strengthened and ready for whatever God has in store for me!

California Girls

So, yes I am going to post two today since it's been so long since I actually posted. I've been very busy the last couple months. I started school at the end of August. I'm going online for Computer Information Systems.Yes, I am proud to be a Computer Nerd... So, school work is very consuming,then with work, school stuff and traveling..this past weekend was Fort Wayne, this coming weekend is California!!!!! Even though i'll still have to do homework(which I will make minimal)I am so excited to be going to see my Best Friend Tiffany!! We are going to the San Diego Zoo, Disneyland,dinner with my cousins, and a whole bunch of other things!! I don't really care what we do as long as we are having a blast while doing it, which of course, we always do! Since the weather will be in the low 60's here in Indiana I am very excited it'll be in the mid-70s out there!! Yay for warm weather.It has been two years since we've seen Tiffany and although we talk to her on Skype once a week it's so much better to see them. I already don't want to leave. It would be so awesome to find an awesome job out there and an awesome apartment, and just stay..okay? OKAY! I'll definitely post all the fun we had out there, and what we did!

My Favorite things of Summer: A List

If you know me then you know how much I LOVE Summertime. There are like a gazillion things you can find to do..(if the northwest Indiana weather permits of course.)
1.One of my favorite things to do is go to the Drive-In Movie theater. Not only does it feel like your going back in time, but it's also a great family-oriented place(with the exception of getting stuck next to a person who smokes.:()Another bonus... $8 to see two movies! This weekend my sister and I went to see Despicable Me and Twilight:Eclipse. Both were pretty good movies,and you definitely can't beat the price.
2.Another one of my favorite things is going to the beach, which unfortunately I can never seem to manage to do. With working and other things planned on the weekends it is a surprisingly hard for me to go, which is sad because I Love being out in the sun getting tan and enjoying the heat.
3.The water park can be extremely fun, there's just the expense of the high entrance fee, and expensive food..so for a one time day it's okay or if your good enough to remember in December that you can get tickets for crazy cheap then it's in your best interest to do that!
4.Chicago!! I love being up in the City, the people, the lights, the constant motion...I just love it. I love walking Michigan Avenue, going to the theater, the museums. In the summer they always have something going on outside, a jazz fest, dance fest, tech show, etc...
5.Weekend getaways are always fun. I get sick sometimes of staying home. And, since I have a job and week long vacations are seldom and have to planned well in advanced...weekend trips are perfect! Whether it's camping, or hanging out in a hotel, or a mini road-trip, you can usually do any of these things for pretty cheap too.
