so happy

I'm so happy ---
A vacation does a lot of things, but overall it helps me to reflect on what I DO have and quit wanting what I don't have.

I am grateful beyond words for these guys...


I fall in love with this guy more and more each day....especially when he puts me to bed at 8 PM cuz I fell asleep on the couch sitting up....AND let's me sleep until 8 AM!!!!



We all love different aspects of this earth. Personally, I like them all...deserts, prairies, mountains and beaches. It's not any secret that my all time favorite is the coast --- it helps me to feel closer to the Lord and his creations. I think some misinterpret my love for the coast as this -



NOPE, I mean this!



More photos to come -- Philip had the camera all week and you know what that means -- YEP, plenty of scenery pics.;) When I have a few hours to edit and post, I'll get them up.

For now, I'm off to use these....

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to Oregon. It really is a beautiful area, especially along the coast. Did you get to see Mount Hood as your drove down the Columbia. On a clear day it is one of the most beautiful mountains ever. We're glad you all made it home safely and had a good time together.

YAY for coupons! Love them! Hope you are using PYP, and maybe looking into the food co-op. Great places to look to save money!

Bart yes, it was a beautiful sight to see Mt. Hood. The sun was shining, the mountain was tall and the snow was white.:)

As soon as I saw that picture I knew it had to be Oregon! I know what you mean about loving the coast. I don't know what we'll do if we ever move away. Hope you got some sunny days!

Beartiful pics. I love the Oregon coast. I've only been once, a looong time ago, but it made an impression.

try googling (don't think that is a word) food coop salt lake city. It is local food for less. Meats fresh, grains. It is about $23 for a "share" of food, and a $5 fee for your life time membership. They require 2 hours of community service a month, which I am sure that you have well under you belt. Anything counts, as long as it is volunteer. Church, school etc. Anyway, a friend of mine did it last month, and then price matched what she got at walmart. She wold have paid $12 more at walmart for what she got at the co op. Anyway, great way to get fresh local food, and support your community. I know that they do have one up there, I looked it up a while ago.

Looks like you had a good time. Where did you go? Vacations are so great. We had some mini vacations while we had family in town 3 different times this spring. It's great to have an excuse to vacation near your own home town.
