Disney World – Day 1

August 29, 2010

First let me break down our trip for you before I begin blogging. Brandon and I decided that we wanted to take a vacation for our anniversary this year so we decided on Disney World. Although I was excited about this choice I could not bear going without Brooke or going for 8 days without her completely. So we had a solution, we brought her with us, well at least for part of the trip. My mom came along too and so all 4 of us were there for 4 days then Brooke and my mom headed back to Texas and Brandon and I spent another 4 days at Disney world on our own. Ok…So now that the explaining is done. Onto our first day at Disney World:

Day 1: We arrived in Orlando and headed straight to our hotel “Animal Kingdom Lodge” we used the Disney’s magical express which I HIGHLY recommend if you are planning on going to Disney. Once we got checked in, took a look at our room, we headed out and made our way to Hollywood Studios! Brooke’s favorite thing here was meeting the characters. We actually got to meet a ton of them because a worker told us to stick around and all the characters would come into the building before the parade. This was awesome and Brooke sure did love the characters and the characters loved her. Her favorite character at this stop was Lotso, the bear from Toy Story 3. 2nd runner up but became very close to first was Mickey. After meeting the characters we had dinner at the Hollywood and Vine restaurant where Brooke fell asleep literally while eating. After dinner we headed over to see the firework and water show Fantasmic. We had a great first day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!!!

4th Anniversary

August 26, 2010

Today is our 4 year anniversary. I can’t believe 4 years have already passed by. Today, I had to go to work which I was kinda bummed about, but when Brandon got home he surprised me by taking me out to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Ruth’s Chris. After dinner we went to Dave and Busters to play some games. This was so fun just to hang out and relax while playing silly games and of course trying to beat one another. We had such a great time and I am truly blessed with an amazing husband who loves me and cares for me, he truly is my blessed.

I can’t believe your mine
I can’t believe I’m yours
Cause only a Master’s hand
Could have devised and designed our course

Lost in your beauty
Lost in the freedom
I can’t owe this to myself
What have I ever done

Thats this good, this sweet, this right

With one glance of your eye
You’ve stolen my heart
And beautiful you are, my darling
There is no flaw in you

Now I lack nothing
And now there’s peace
You have such patience with me
Freely you give your love

Your so good, so sweet, so right

You are clothed in strength
You are dressed in dignity
With you He is saving me
You are all I wanted
You are all I need now
I wil call you blessed

Gone are the good old days
I have no need for useless things
I’ve found something better to last me forever
For you speak with wisdom
And faithful instruction
Many do noble things
But you have surpassed them all

Your so good, so sweet, so right

I love you Brandon, Happy 4th Anniversary!

Splash Kingdom

August 15, 2010

What a weekend filled with water, swimming and water parks. Our church has this event every summer where we rent out a water park for a few hours and then have a baptism at the end of the party. This one is special because our family friend Christopher is getting baptized. We are so excited and very proud of this life changing decision he has made to follow Christ. Brooke loved going down the slides by herself, of course we caught her at the bottom, but some of the time she was able to stand up on her own at the end. She is beginning to become such a big girl! She also enjoyed playing with her friends in the water. We had such a great time with family and friends, we love summer!!!

Jen’s Non Birthday

August 14, 2010

Once we got back from the Great Wolfe Lodge we made our way to our friend Jen’s house for her birthday. She didn’t want presents, just a hang out, so she called it her Non birthday party. Her mom had a taco and sundae bar, which was so good! We all went swimming and had great time celebrating Jen’s birthday!!!
