Must. Travel.

I have been feeling this intense desire to travel these past few weeks. More 

than the usual "I've got to visit somewhere pretty right now" thing.

But why does traveling have to cost so much? Such is life.. I despise money.

It's okay though because I live in a really pretty house, on a great street

with a big window to look out onto. I will travel soon. And I want to go here..

I want to breathe in cold, crisp air, I want to see trees that have been

there for over 100 years, I want to eat fantastically delicious, fresh food,

I want to feel the chill of the wind on my skin and

just be still there. 

Maybe this spring. :)

Hi. Hello.

This has been sitting on my coffee table for close to 4 days now.. still unread.
--I hate being sick!

This is about the fourth or fifth time that I have started to write this entry, but I have had to stop or delete it because my body could not sit in the upright position any longer. That is what the stomach flu will do to you.. or to me rather. Blehhh.. bleckk.. barff.. barf. I'm home sick (again) from work today and I'm hoping that it will be my last day. I have so much to write about and it makes me sad that I haven't been able to. Right now, I'm feeling a little better and so I'm just doing a quick update to say that I am here and alive (barely) and will be back in full swing as soon as I can be. San Francisco was perfect and I want to tell you all about that and show you my pictures too. But for now, I will show you this little picture that I took with my blackberry.. because it's all I have right now.

We spent a good amount of time in the Yerba Buena Gardens because it was quite beautiful
and this was a picture taken while we were sitting behind the fountain.

More pictures and stories to come. I hope that you are all having a nice, healthy week. :)

We're going flying in the rain.

I can't even believe how long I've been away from the internet. I haven't sat in front of my computer in over a week.. Which I think is a record for me. I know I always talk about how busy life is but, truly, this has been the busiest time of my life with bachelorette parties, friends visiting from far away, weddings and very important Holy-days. Right now, I'm in the car with my husband (blogging from my blackberry..lame?) on our way to the airport. We are going to San Francisco for 6 whole days and 5 whole nights to celebrate our year of marriage. We are so excited to have some time away from this busy life and spend time together looking at tall buildings, eating amazing food, seeing old friends, sleeping in a fun hotel, walking in the park, shopping and going to the Jewish contemporary museum (woo!).

Anyway, I hope you all have a lovely week, as I know I will be doing the same. Stories and photos to come. :)

Spring Time

I love spring time and all of the blooming flowers that it brings. Our peach
and apricot trees have budded and blossomed in our backyard, along with
the pink and red camellia trees on the side of our house. It makes life
feel new again and with the new season brings a new list of goals,
hopes and dreams. For this season, I pray for..
...a refreshed attitude and frame of mind.
...a simpler, less materialist life.
...more late night drives with my husband.
...a thankful attitude for the jobs we possess.
...more of Jesus everyday.
...our time to be spent reading and creating new things.
...lots of deliciously cooked dinners.
...a clean house. :)
...more walks in our neighborhood and naps in the park.
...lots love and time to be shared with our family and friends.

Inspiration for today.

I feel like visiting new places and seeing new faces.
