April

So I was really planning on blogging at least once a week, that definitely did not happen as you can see. Oh well. I still get on every couple of days and read what you all have to say. Some, if not all of you are quite creative with your everyday stories--it makes me laugh and if you know me at all I like to laugh, so thank you. =)

In my last post I talked about all the books I would read while I was on a break from school. I read quite a few of them and the best one I did not even plan on reading was Francine Rivers new book "Her Mother's Hope" absolutely amazing!

I definitely recommend it. The other books I read had a similar theme that flowed through each one : adventure. living and pursuing your dreams. and never giving up no matter the circumstances. They were all very inspiring.

Speaking of adventure and being inspired I was planning on going to the Grand Canyon and hiking this past weekend, but those plans were changed when my grandma was in the hospital with some heart issues for the week. I figured the GC would always be with us, but my Grandma will not. I had a great weekend with her and my aunt up in Loveland. Hiking the Grand Canyon will happen one day...it's on the bucket list. Speaking of a bucket list what are some items on your list?

Another item on my bucket list is to go on a cruise to Alaska. And this September it is supposed to happen!!! (that's the plan anyways). I told my grandma a few years ago I wanted to take her on a trip before she turned 80 years old and she decided a cruise to Alaska is exactly what she wants to do! How awesome is that! My dad, me, and grandma will set sail most likely the first weekend in September. I am super excited and a bit nervous, I am a newbie when it comes to cruising. I am talking with a travel agent this week to work out the details... woohoo!
