Vision Board

For any of you that know me, know I totally believe in the Law of Attraction. I don't believe there are coincidences in life. I believe you attract things and events that happen to you by the way you think and feel and the energy you put out by your thoughts and actions. If you don't believe it, put it to the test and read some books on it. Of course one popular, and one of many books (although, not my favorite of all of them) is called "The Secret." OK....so, just another example in my life of how I know this to be true! I have a "vision board" that I made...(ill have to post a picture of it) of things that I want to see happen. Here are some pictures similar to what I had put on my board this year:



I have dolphins on there b/c one of my dreams is to be able to swim with dolphins



I have a picture of a beautiful beach b/c I wanted to visit one that looks like this!


OK....SOOOOO......This is what we will be doing next year thanks to my AWESOME, hard working husband!!! He randomly came home one day and said, "oh, by the way, we are having a sales contest at work, Im in first place right now, and whoever wins will get a trip." WHAT?!?! you're just telling me this now...and p.s.....what kind of trip?? I'm thinking to myself a couple nights paid hotel somewhere!?!?!"

He say, "A cruise...I think." You think?!? So of course I proceed to be the annoying wife and ask him a million questions that he has no idea what the answers are..ie.. who, when, where, what and then just leaves it at, "I'll let you know when I know." HA! Typical!
So, he came home last week and told me WON!!! He got the cruise! So, vision board, AKA, my "crystal ball" haha...has come to pass.
Because....This is what we will be doing, and where we will be going......

Random thoughts..

I was just laying in bed with my boys tonight, snuggling each one separately, and just thinking how much I love them. I was thinking back to funny things each one of them has done over the years and how many times they have made me crack up! I just wanted to write I few memories down while I was thinking about them.......

1. I remember Preston calling his sippy cup of chocolate milk "ku-nuh". Still makes me laugh. He called it this for a good 3-4 years, even though we told him it was chocolate milk??

2. The 3rd year of Payton's life seriously lasted like 5 years. Craig and I kept saying, "Isn't he like 10 years old by now." FINALLY he's 4 and its flying by. What's with 3??

3. Every time Payton wants to "watch" something on tv, he says he wants to "house" it?!?!

4. Preston used to call a "needle" a "meekle" and didn't want to go to the doctor to get a shot with the "meekle."

5. I was just thinking about how we went to Sea World last month and it was the most perfect day. We had the park practically to ourselves, stayed on every ride as long as we wanted to, and ate lunch together on a picnic table outside. Craig and I raced up a huge cargo net with our boys yelling and cheering us on and then slid down these ginormous slides, only to get the biggest electric shock of our lives! We ate cotton candy and pushed the boys in a little car stroller while they ate Cheetos and Barbecue chips. We rode the Log ride 5 times in a row and each time was better than the last. I remember sitting there in that little log with Payton between Craig's legs and Preston in front of me, just thinking how perfect this is, and when I would look back to see Craig with his arms around Payton and a big smile on both of their faces, I thought nothing in the whole wide world could be as important as my family and how lucky I am and happy we are!

I'm so grateful for my boys!!! all THREE of them!!

31....

Well, it came and went...my 31st birthday that is! Im really trying not to think to much about because when I do, I have to admit, it does make me a little sad. Its not that I feel old, its just the sound of the number and reminder that I truly AM getting older. When you are young, you want to be old and just think it will never happen. I remember when I was 12 years old turning 13 my family took me out to dinner. I remember the waiter coming up to the table and my family announcing it was my birthday. I also remember thinking he was pretty cute and older than me of course. And me, always notoriously trying to be grown up and older announced that I was actually turning "14" (instead of 13) when he asked how old I was turning on this birthday. Well, my little brother Graham instantly piped up and said "SHE'S NOT 14...SHE'S ONLY 13" Of course I was mortified! We only laugh about that story now. Especially now since Im only wishing and contemplating "fibbing" about my age, but going down, instead of up! HA!

Its okay, I know I cant do a darn thing to change it, except to look my best and feel my best for ever age I am. I have a great family who got and did some special things for me. Craig took me to dinner to get my favorite steak dinner. Here are some pictures.....






My dad designed my FABULOUS business cards, poster, logo, and gift cards. Here is everything I put together for one of my tanning parties. It turned out great. Thanks dad for all your creative designs! Its was a great b-day present!

My sister sent me this tasty treat! Thanks Trish!!!



My mom gave me the cutest necklace. Obviously it had my kids names on it, but I love it. Im so in to stamped silver now.
