2024) safety
3026) for 2 hotel rooms
*but I actually went to buy myself candy: marshmallows and gummies
(my favorites)
We have just spent about 6 days out of the last two weeks together as a family on some short vacations. We began with two days on the California Central Coast and then headed to the Yosemite area to do some camping (Pt. 2). We are blessed to be close to both the ocean and the mountains, and we take advantage of that throughout the year. As the kids get older, our family vacation time is becoming more and more precious to me. In the next 5 and 6 years the two older ones will be ready to move on. Time goes by too fast and I don't want to look back and have regrets about not investing enough time into their lives while they were home. My husband is a photographer and I am the recorder-of-moments. I enjoy looking back and remembering those moments in time, moments where I am so thankful for time, for my family and for life. Here are just some of those moments recorded: 3023) to know that I am going away to the coast today 2024) safety 3025) a hot latte and comfy chairs 3026) for 2 hotel rooms 3027) a bakery with worship music playing 3028) for ostrich feeding fun 3031) beach sounds: waves, seagulls, laughter 3032) their trip to the cliffs so I could rest *but I actually went to buy myself candy: marshmallows and gummies (my favorites) Visit Part 2 Here

Good for you! There's no such thing as making too many memories... Our oldest two are graduated college and for the life of me can't figure out how the time got behind me so quickly.... and I was paying attention!

Thank You for being here!I began counting the blessings in May of 2012. One of my favorite things to do is to read over them. They are a constant reminder of God's goodness in my life! "I don't even know they are gifts really until I write them down and that is really what they look like. Gifts He bestows. This writing it down-it is sort of like. . . unwrapping love."
