Forgotten trip to Sea World

I thought that I had posted about Sea World, but than I found out it never made the blog. In March Don and I got the chance to go to Orlando for a few different reasons. Samantha called and told me that she was going to be in Orlando for a business trip but would like to do something fun while she was there. She than said something about going to the temple there since she had never seen that one. For me that was all I needed to hear...I was in. Come to find out the youth of our ward was going a temple trip the same day Samantha wanted to go--which worked out REALLY well for Don and myself. We met Samantha at the temple and we did our different things in the temple and from there we headed to our hotels. Shari, Sarah, Lydia, and Aubree decided that they would meet us also in Orlando...they are big Sea World fans so we had planned to skip church on Sunday and go to Sea World (since I have never been). We had a good time and below are a few pictures from that trip. (Sam anytime you are in the area let me know! I am up for just about anything!)

Enjoy and have a great week!

Spring Break 2008

Boy it's been a long time since my last post...sorry! But in the last month I have been stressed out with work and home life. But it's all getting better.

On April 4th my mom came for a quick visit. We didn't do very much this time she was here but we just hung out and just enjoyed the time together! We went to a very small farmers market (Mom next time we will go to the good one!). On Saturday April 5th the Zehrings arrived for spring break. On Sunday I decided to make them all a home cooked meal...chicken breast, home made lemon basil pasta, tomato salad, a regular salad, and a couple different desserts. I think everyone enjoyed the meal...I know I did.

Most of the pictures are from the time with them (some others I took at Busch Gardens in the last month). They spent a lot of time with Don this year...he got the week off. They spent a lot of time on the beach...or in the pool. Lets just say most of them got a little red. But over all I think they had fun. We went to Busch Gardens for our fun activity. There are TONS of pictures from Busch Gardens and I am just warning you there are just tons of pictures...I put the slide show on fast so you can get through it faster. The last day they were here we went Putt-Putt Golfing. I'm not a fan of golf if it's hot and humid (which is was). So that is all I'll say about it. Aleesha found another little girl around her age (Annie). Annie is a very cute little girl and is a mixed child like Aleesha. They were really cute together. So if there is another child that you don't remember ever seening it's Annie. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed the time taking them! We already miss our company.

On to other news: Evie has moved out. She didn't want to live with the arrangement we all sat and came up with. So on Friday when I was at work Don and the sister missionaries helped her move her things into her own apartment. So we are cleaning and getting things ready to clean out our storage unit. And we will be looking into getting our paperwork in and a home study done for adpotion. So we are very excited!

Have a great week and enjoy the pictures!
