I am a wife, a mom, a sister, a daughter, an auntie, and a friend. I am a Child of God. I eat too much candy, watch too much reality TV and probably spend too much money shopping. My favorite 2 things in the world are my husband (the hottie) and my baby girl (she's stinkin' hilarious!) I believe that God will meet us where we're at. I am living proof of that! Creativity is my out and I find sketching, photography and decorating my house therapy. I am a woman with opinions and I don't appoligize for that. My Dad always told us, "Don't be normal, normal's boring. Be awesome." I love fashion. LOVE it. New York City is my most favorite city in the world... though I have yet to get there. Cheesy hashbrowns has been my favorite food since I was a little kid in pigtails. I live for summer. I hate Saskatchewan winters...which is basically 3/4 of the year. *sigh* I am an introvert. I get my energy from down time by myself. Walt Disney World is my favorite place in the world. I am guilty of singing at the top of my lungs in my car, usually assuming no one's watching. I talk with God.*
"Perhaps after all of our worries and questions, we'll discover that God had the right thing at the right time for us. Perhaps His plan is more wonderful that anything we could create ourselves..." - J. Harris
The whole Bartel gang together again - always tops anything and everything.
Stepping off the plane in Orlando and actually being able to breathe normally and keep my eyes open for more than 5 seconds straight... ahhhhh... the sunshine, a warm breeze and green grass will be welcomed with opened arms.
The way they've absolutely perfected the manicured lawns and shrubbery in Disney. Hmmmm... on that note, the smell of fresh cut grass... every day.
Pirates of the Caribbean
The goooooooodddd fooooooooooddd!!!
Watching Mikayla's face when she spots Snow White or Cinderella - the real deal - for the first time in The Magic Kingdom.... talk about magic. Just another thing we have in common.
My Dad in all his craziness and insanity while on vacation.
Fireworks and light shows above the castle - I'm not gonna lie to you, I've always had this thing for Cinderella's castle and don't think that just because I'm 26, going on 27, that this has even remotely changed.
Flip flops.
The Rainforest Cafe.
Waking up in the morning to bright sunny weather and the promise of another sweet day.
Good company.
Laughing with my brothers again...and again...and again...
Snapping some sweet shots with my Nikon and feeling fundamentally satisfied with the results.
"Everybody got your card????" (to be said all high-pitched and nasally) Okay, maybe not so much.
Salt water taffy.
No cell phones. No emailing. No busyness. No work. Just hanging out together and letting it all go.
Main Street in the Magic Kingdom - love it, love it, love it.
Witnessing Kar's attempt to get as many autographs as humanly possible from all of the Disney characters in sight...whatever the cost.
The villa, which we have yet to see, but we know it will be well, well worth the wait.
"i-MA-gi-NA-tion" sung by Figmint, of course.
The many, many countries of Epcot. I always like France the best.
Lounging by the pool with Josh in his new swimmin' trunks.
Downtown Disney at night.
Being able to share this passion I have for Disney with Warren - he's gonna lose his mind.
