Christmas time at Disneyland!

Some of you know if you have been following me, that my husband and I moved from Kansas City, MO to Arizona in June of 2017.  Staying behind were our 2 grown children.  Since then our son, Hayden, has moved to Arizona.  He moved out here September 2018.  This leaves our daughter, Taylor, still in Kansas City.  She isn't alone as she lives with her fiance, Nick, and both sets of grandparents live in Kansas City as well.

I was so excited that she and Nick decided to plan a trip to California in December.  Christmas at Disneyland anyone! We drove to California and got to spend 4 great days with them sightseeing, and riding rides at Disneyland and seeing behind the scenes at Universal Studios Hollywood. Lots of walking, lots of lines, and lots of fun had by all! Oh, did I mention lots of pictures too?

2013 AQS Quilt Week

My daughter and I went to our very first Quilt Festival last October.  Got off work on Friday night and drove to Des Moines, IA, only a short 3 hour drive away from our home.  We had a blast singing on the way up in the car, my radio wasn't working so we just made our own music.  Good thing my daughter knows the lyrics to almost every song I threw at her! Stayed downtown at the Marriott, only a few blocks from the Iowa Events Center. 

Took tons of pictures!  Click to view over 200 photos uploaded to my Flickr album.  Sorry they aren't the best quality, only have the camera on my phone.  Each picture should have a snapshot before or after it of the card displaying the name of the quilt and who quilted it.

Day 10 of 365 Days of Fitness Blogging

Great day today!  A little rainy outside but low 40s. Spent some time with my daughter, Taylor, today customizing and filling out the order form for her class ring.  It is hard for me to believe that she and my son, Hayden, are both getting close to graduating from high school.  Taylor is a sophmore and Hayden is a junior.  It honestly just seems like yesterday they were in elementary school bringing me home school papers they had completed in crayon.  They will always be my babies!

Today I did couch to 5k training on the treadmill.  While I was on the treadmill I setup my tablet and listened to an audio book by Brian Tracy, No Excuses.  Great use of my time.  I feel like the Queen of Multi-Tasking now! LOL  Don't know if it was because of what I was listening to or if I am improving, but today was the best run/walk I have had so far.  Makes me think I might actually be ready come June 1st!  View today's food journal here. 

OK, now I am going to watch tonight's Grey's Anatomy episode that I have DVR'd.  Anybody else watch Grey's Anatomy?  Thanks to my good friend Jennifer for getting me hooked on this show!
