Hollywood Studios

The second day of our trip was spent in Hollywood Studios. I hadn't been to this park in soooo long, so I was excited to go back.

Our favorite ride was Tower of Terror. We got fast passes, so we didn't have to wait in line.

  

They had a hall of fame for televison stars. I got my picture taken with Betty White, that was a highlight of my trip! I just love her.

And we saw the Beauty and the Beast show, it was amazing.

We were so hot and tired, that night we went back to the hotel and just relaxed.

I loved our hotel, Disney's Pop Century. It was really nice and so convenient to stay in Disney.

The Magic Kingdom

The Magic Kingdom at Disney World was our favorite park by far. There is something about the classic disney that is so much fun.

We went there on our first day of the trip, and thanks to the extra magic hours we spent 15 hours there!

We ate some yummy ice cream and rode all the great classic rides...

like "it's a small world". I loved this ride as a child and still do!

We ended the night with Disney's electrical parade and fireworks. It was such a great day.

 

I'm Back!

I'm back a day late, but I am home safely! We got into an accident coming home from Florida. It was more scary than anything else. It was raining and we hydroplaned into a guard rail on 95. We spun around several times, but luckily only the car was damaged.

We were mostly shook up and didn't know if we could drive the car home or not. After bending the metal away from the wheel and staying the night in North Carolina we drove it home.

It really makes me thankful for my life, and thankful that both of us are fine. I was gonna post some fun pictures from disney, but that will have to wait till tomorrow.

Florida Bound!

I am finally off to Disney World!

I will post pictures as soon as we return!

Proposal Story

Today over at Kelly's Korner is show us your life, your proposal story. I just had to play along!

Right after Clarke proposed.

I knew Clarke was going to propose sometime soon, but I wasn't sure of when exactly it would happen. So on May 9, 2008 Clarke picked me up to go out to dinner. We were celebrating because I had just gotten into The University of Richmond's teacher licensure program. On the way to his house (I forget why we were going there) he said he thought something was wrong with his car, it was going to the right. Finally, we were in front of his mailbox and he stopped the car. He asked me to get out and help him check his car. I am thinking "why does he want me to check his car, I know absolutely nothing about cars!" But, I got out and he took me over to the mailbox, where we had our first kiss ever. He asked me to marry him and of course I said yes.

His family knew and were taking pictures from the window of their house. I was so happy to have pictures of this moment!

After we told everyone we went to Hondo's for a yummy steak dinner. It is one of our favorite restauraunts.  One of my friends knew we where going there and decorated our car while we were eating. I loved it!

It was such a great day and I thought he did a good job of being creative.

Reach

I just realized the other day that I have yet to write a post about Reach, so I thought I would tonight. Reach is my church's group for young adults. It is for married couples and singles alike. Me and Clarke have been going for almost two years now, but it is not until recently that we have gotten really involved.

Towards the beginning of the year, the pastors realized that there needed to be a leadership team, to help plan events, the small groups and get the word out about the group more. Me and Clarke are both on the leadership team and we are loving it so far.

I am really getting involved and I have met some wonderful people through this group. I have loved meeting other women my age who are married. In my group of close friends I am the only one who is married, so it's nice to have some other girlfriends who I can relate to about that.

I have loved seeing how God is growing this ministry as well. As we try new things, and pray about what steps to take next, God has been so faithful to provide. I can't wait to see where God takes this group next!

Summer To Do List

I am really hoping that by the fall I will have a permanent full time job! I have some prospects, and I am keeping my fingers crossed and praying. So, I have recently been thinking about things I would like to get done before then. I wanna post them, hoping that will motivate me to actually accomplish them.

1. Wrap up things with the house. We need to replace the vanities in the bathrooms and do some other little things around the house.

2. Catch up on scrapbooking. I have let this go, and I still need to do my wedding scrapbook!

3. Finish some art projects. I started a painting before we moved, with the intent of hanging it up in the new house. I still need to finish that and some other things too.

4. Finish cleaning out my room at my mom's house. My mom has been asking me since I moved out awhile ago to go through my stuff. I am almost done.

That is all I can think of for now. I know it doesn't seem like that much, but I know all the art stuff will take me forever.

Oh, and if you remember I would LOVE for you to pray for the job I interviewed for last week. I don't want to say too much, because I might not get it, but it would be the perfect foot in the door type job for me. Great location about 5 minutes from my house, and it's a growing school. Okay, I have said too much, but just pray!!! Thanks!!!
