Learning to Sew & Thunderstorms....

We arrived to my dads at about noon. Yesterday was spent taking numerous naps & enjoying family.

My step mother taught me how to use a sewing machine and no, I didn't hurt myself even. Sure my blanket to the left isn't the prettiest in the world but darn it, Kaila's Polly Pockets will love it! I now want a sewing machine and think of all the wonderful things I can make everyone I know........ Ok so that could take some time but for today I'm glad I can use one. Oh yeah, making my own seam was really cool.

We all went to see Wall*E. Very cute film and even with the power going out from a Thunderstorm (No Tornado's to worry about because I even inquired, again I know I'm a dork) we were able to still finish the movie and we all had fun.

We're going to an Island today or so I'm told. I will be posting a slide show when I return to California because I can't upload to the lap top. I'm really enjoying this trip but It's only 4 AM in California so I'm a bit sleep deprived. I will probably nap in the car today. My father says it's about a 2 hour drive to where we're going.

Until I write again.....

On Our Way

With Kaila getting very tired and me with butterflies in my stomach we are about to get on our plane to head on out to Georgia. I'm in fear but ready to do my soft belly meditation and try and sleep the whole time on the flight.

I'm going to attempt updating my blog daily on this trip as a bit of a journal.

We saw fireworks from the airport which was kinda cool.

Next update tomorrow evening. I plan on resting once we get to my fathers since we traveling all night and I'm driving three hours to get there tomorrow.

My first picture is of Kaila at the airport, the bags under her eyes show that she is getting tired. It wasn't much longer after this shot that she was ready for bed.

Super Excited!!!

Well, I've made the final reservation for our trip to Douglas & Savannah, GA. I booked the Bed & Breakfast for Kaila and I to stay at our final night in Georgia.

It's in the Historic District and there are tours right near by. The best part it was only $129. for a cottage. This Bed & Breakfast has a set rate for Monday - Wednesday (: To think I was going to book a standard room and was told I could have any room they had that was available. Here's a link to what I picked, The Ivy Cottage which is super private and well, I just can't wait! Scroll to the bottom of the page to get a glimpse of the cottage.

I can't wait to see my family as well. We may go down to Florida and see some family that lives there.

Yeah to Vacations, even the short ones.

Mercer House, NASA, and More!

I'm super excited that summer is coming. There is so much I want to do this summer and I'm glad I finally have the opportunity to have some fun and work.

I booked K and I are flights today for Georgia. We'll be there the beginning of July to visit my father. We'll also be going to Texas in July with my boss. Again, another trip of fun because I'm there to help my boss with diabetes if her sensor goes off in the middle of the night. I plan on taking a tour at NASA with K while we're there.

I got tired researching B&B's in Savannah and since I'm not sure if I'll spend 1 or 2 nights there I will re-visit it in the beginning of May.

One thing I'm a bit bummed about is I'm missing my YTL session for July :( but I know that one missed is ok since I can follow up with one of the facilitators and seeing I'm keeping up with everything and practicing taking care of me I'm not going to beat myself up over it.

Next month is my favorite retreat, Catalina, and then June starts a summer of work (and fun).

Any ideas with a place to take the hubby for our 6 year anniversary in June? I'm thinking of a B&B in Big Bear but any ideas are welcomed.
