Redirecting for now...

Some of you may know Ben and I were in a serious car accident over 2 wks ago. Family and friends have set up a blog for us to update you all. I will use that blog for now to post things. When I get my cast off I will be able to type a little faster!
Thank you for all your prayers and support!

Got a makeover....

Since we won't be going into the Disney parks
until the rest of the fam gets here on Sunday so
we too advantage of the time together and
went to Downtown Disney! While there we ran
quickly into Goofy's candy store only
to find the best mirror ever that changed
our bodies and gave us a lovely makeover
to our legs and faces! We had so much fun with
the mirror that we forgot all about the candy!
We also go our rump shakers a bit made over
too with some lovely wildlife!

Photo above....

Okay so I do realize the photo above
(with blog title)is GINORMOUS but I just love it to
pieces! I don't know what it is about
it that I love so much but I think it
is funny, stating a point, vintage,
myterious and so many more things!
I have tried resizing but to no avail!
So, as I am living with it for this
period of time so must you!

Watch out princesses....here we come!!

Disney World or bust!
That is right people we are on our
way to the land of princesses, Mickey, Minnie,
Pirates and many more grand adventures!
We will start making the trek to Orlando on
Thursday morning! We are going to stay a few nights
with just each other soaking in the time that
we have before we meet up with the rest of the crew!
My parents, lil brother Ben and his friend will
be meeting up with us on Sat! Sunday we will start
our park adventures and wander into bed every
night with black dirty feet and pure exaustion!
Although born in Cali, Ben never got to go to Disneyland
so this will be a first for him....bring on the pretty princesses!
I have been blessed to be able to go to DL a few times
but never to the World of Disney!
We are super excited to not only spend time with family
but with each other!

She wore an itty bitty.....

I found this interesting article on MSN today and thought I would share because technically we are in summer!!

"Summer is upon us, which means that Americans are heading to the beach to slather on the sunscreen and slip out of their clothes. In honor of the season, we present a two-piece celebration of the two-piece: In 2006, on the swimsuit's 60th birthday, Julia Turner chronicled the rise of the bikini in America.
Sixty years ago this week, the world's first bikini made its debut at a poolside fashion show in Paris. The swimsuit is now so ubiquitous that it's hard to comprehend how shocking people once found it. When the bikini first arrived, its revealing cut scandalized even the French fashion models who were supposed to wear it; they refused, and the original designer had to enlist a stripper instead!!"

I personally don't think I will be going back to a one-piece any time soon! Ok maybe if I had a large prego belly and it was just not good for the eyes to be upon then I might switch over to a tankini! I will admit that when I swim laps I have on my glam Nike one-piece suit...hey it is slenderizing and have thought of putting it under clothes! Not so much in this hot weather!

Papa....

If I typed on how much
my dad means to me and how much I
love him this could be a very, very
long blog!
He has been my influence, hero, teacher,
mentor, and has been one of the reasons
that I married such an unbelievable man!
He has worked hard in life but in his
own quite way. Slow to get angry and
slow to raise his voice!
My dad will forever be in my heart even
though we are miles away.
I think of him often and wish that I
could spend more time with him!
PAPA...I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
