First of all, for local peeps, I got to Jeffry Richard Salon off wealthy street downtown Grand Rapids. I go to Abby for cuts and TJ for cut and color in between my cuts with Abby. It's a down right amazing experience from the moment you walk into the salon. It's an Aveda salon and I can't get enough of that Aveda smell. I love their natural products and so does my family.<br />
<br />
Speaking of natural products. I want to direct you to Maple Holistics to check out their new<a href="https://www.mapleholistics.com/products/hair-care/silk18-shampoo/"> Silk18 Shampoo</a> I had the opportunity to try it out first hand and let me tell you, I love it. I wash my hair once every 5 days or so using <a href="https://www.livingproof.com/perfect-hair-day/dry-shampoo/R1006.html#q=dry%2Bshampoo&lang=en_US&start=1">Living Proof </a>dry shampoo in between washes, and this shampoo leaves my hair feeling incredibly clean, silky, and smooth. I love the scent and I love the all natural products.<br />

I had a recent scare where I had an allergic reaction to a texture spray I quickly snagged from Walgreens to use after working out. It cost me a pretty penny to go to the emergency room for steroids, not to mention oral steroids, oral antihistamines, and more medications than ever to calm it down. I learned my lesson from thinking I could just grab any old thing from the shelf and use it. Trust me, keep it natural with your products!!<br />
<br />
I also use a leave in treatment after I shampoo by Aveda called <a href="https://www.aveda.com/product/5303/16901/hair-care/leave-in-treatment/damage-remedy-daily-hair-repair#/shade/3.4_fl_oz%2F100_ml">Dry Remedy.</a> With all the color and heat I use on my hair, this is something I can't live without.<br />
<br />
Send me a message if you have any questions. I use a small amount of hair spray and serum for hold and smooth but if you need those linked as well, let me know!!<br />
<br />
Oh! I can't forget. this little<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XQBQ5A4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"> hair headband</a> I use for washing my face etc is so cute and off Amazon!! it's only 18$ and it is perfect for what I was looking for. It's soft and has nice Velcro in the front and then in the back you can even pull your hair through a loop, like a pony tail, if you really need your hair away from your neck when you're doing your nightly routine!!<br />

I am so over blogger and uploading photos. I just want to blog the trip!! **<br />
<br />
Honestly, Florida was the unexpected best trip with the kids. I had no idea it was going to be THAT good. I knew it'd be fun and jam packed with entertainment but I would do that trip over and over again.<br />
<br />
Our whole goal in the beginning was to see our good friends Rachel and Tony that moved from our neighborhood and that we miss so very much. They moved the year prior and we had monthly dinners with them that were my favorite night of the month. They are the easiest and greatest friends ! So while we were planning this trip to see them, we decided we would hit up Harry Potter World at Universal. Jason is able to get four days for the price of one with the military but boy is that still ridiculously expensive. but seeing harry potter world was worth every penny.<br />
<br />
We booked our little dinky condo with air bnb. it was our first air bnb experience. and this little place was just 89$ a night but located right on a waterpark. The place had a large pool, two big water slides, a splash pad, an extra large hot tub and a small hot tub. And they also had daily pool activites (glitter tattoos, sno cones, karaoke etc). There was a small arcade for late night quarter spending sprees too. we were within 20 minutes of Universal so it worked out great!<br />
<br />
Our first day at Universal was cold and rainy. We were somewhat prepared for the colder weather and at first the kids were not super excited about it, and sure enough, as the day went on, we noticed that there was no wait for rides as there was practically no one there that day. We ran around hitting every ride possible. and we took our time walking through Harry Potter World. It was so incredible. We got the kids wands that activate tons of things within the park. There is also this massive dragon that blows fire every 20 minutes. The town shakes and he grumbles as he gets ready, and its highly anticipated by everyone.<br />
<br />
The rides for Harry Potter World are so so good. We went on them many times as we could and then each day we went back to Universal, we just hit up our favorites. And let me tell you about that butter beer. I mean I had one every.single.day!! I personally loved the cold and also the frozen. We even bought the stuff to make it the moment we got home from our trip. (still has yet to be made!!)<br />
<br />
We also had a chance to spend the day at Jason's Aunt and Uncle's new beach home. We couldn't have hand picked a better day to spend at the beach. The kids collected shells endlessly. They were able to chase the waves, play in the sand and also in their pool/hot tub. We walked the beach, and drank champagne as the most gorgeous sunset set upon us. It was a piece of heaven! the kids were so sad to leave and couldn't stop asking when we were going to visit them next.<br />

Austin loved collecting shells the most. He made sure to hunt for the curly q's. He brought home a large bag of them in hopes to put them in a jar in his room. Sadly no sharks' teeth this visit, but all the more reason to go back.<br />

We loved the Hogwarts express. They play a movie on the window, in the little car you ride in, and its different going in either direction from Universal to Islands of Adventure and vice versa. Honestly it's a ride in and of itself. the movie depicts the scenery going from Hogsmeade to Diagon Alley. Its such a cool experience.<br />

Like I said, I would re-do this trip time and time again. I would happily pick up a third job just to do this every few years if able. We'll see if our family vacation to the grand canyon later this year goes as well. Its not Harry Potter world!! But i'm glad that the family vacations have started. You won't find us taking long road trips but who knows what we can fit within the few hours we are willing to drive. I wouldn't mind driving to Niagra falls since I think it's shorter than our trip to the U.P.<br />We made good memories.. even if its hard to watch everyone leave for Spring Break and yet we are still home. I'd much rather go earlier in the year and for a much cheaper price!House on Tuftonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08620456917568802006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942188887030001200.post-22033884154600906072019-03-09T14:09:00.001-05:002019-03-09T14:09:02.238-05:00Pursuit of Champions<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; direction: ltr; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.33px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.99px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">As I write this blog, Austin is going to the last wrestling practice of the season. I have to say that I have been almost in tears multiple times thinking about this. Austin has participated in wrestling for the last three years, kindergarten, first and second grade. The first year was a lot of fun just watching him play around. Last year was even better as he competed in a lot of team tournaments and team events and had a really strong half Nelson which is what gave him a lot of wins. But then this year we decided to put him in a wrestling club, Pursuit of Champions with a strong commitment. He had two practices a week with this club and then went to once a week with the Byron Center team. He also had to weigh in on Friday nights typically 30 minutes away. And he competed in 8 MYWAY tournaments (all individual) on Sundays. It was on these Friday nights that we ended up having family dinner after, which made for a nice weekly tradition. Out of the 8 MYWAY tournaments Austin was able to achieve four second-place medals and three first-place metals.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; direction: ltr; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.33px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.99px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; direction: ltr; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.33px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.99px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> I remember the first, first place medal, Jason was at National Guard and I just didn’t think I would be able to take Austin without him. His coach was there and he was very clearly listening to his coach that day. I remember the feeling when he won and thought to myself I don’t care if he quits after today, we have made it to where we wanted. He had achieved the highest peak and I was on cloud nine and I could tell so was Austin. That day other dads and coaches were watching him, telling me how aggressive and strong he was. I never really saw Austin as 'aggressive'. Its hard to instill the grit factor in a young kid. But that day, he had it. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; direction: ltr; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.33px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.99px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; direction: ltr; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.33px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.99px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">The season continued to push Austin to work hard in fact, going into it he has always been a very poor sport when it comes to losing. There was a specific Sunday where Austin wasn’t feeling good and he was not on top of his game and despite after winning the first match he lost every match after that and would not speak or talk to anyone including his coach or us and continued to treat us poorly the rest of the day. We had a very big lesson to learn that day and it was a horrible Sunday filled with lots of tears, and poor behavior, but in the end it was worth it. Austin was able to talk through his loss, recognizing that the next time he were to lose, he would change his actions and words. In between that time and his last tournament we went to Florida as a family and had one of the best vacations I’ve had thus far with the kids After a full solid week off from wrestling and practices Austin went into his last two practices before his final tournament. Going into this last tournament I was trying to fill Austin’s head with lots of positivity and trying to get him ready to do his very best. That day it was very clear Austin was going to be on top of his game and we just kept telling him no matter what we love him and that he had done so well that season. Every time he got second place it seems like it was because of this one kid that seemed just slightly better than Austin., Going into this match I could tell Austin had it in him to beat this kid this day. And he did it. The very first match he pinned, then the next bout was against this 'better kid' and Austin actually won by major and it was amazing. Such a good feeling to not let the idea of someone or something scare you from overcoming. The final match was still a tough one, but in the end, Austin took home 1st place. It felt awesome to have Jason there, since Jason was gone the other two times Austin took first because he was at national guard. </span><br />

Not just this season, but calling it quits. He found the new club to be challenging emotionally and physically. The last thing you want is to burn your kid out on something you think they love. </span><br />
<br />
I have come to love wrestling and all that it stands for. I knew nothing about this sport before Austin started. It is by far the most stressful sport to watch in my opinion. Watching your child have to go out, prove their strength and ability, completely alone. I found myself getting nervous the night before and becoming a wreck the day of the tournament. I didn't let Austin see or feel my nervous energy, but I couldn't imagine how he felt.<br />
<br />
So far he says that he's going to wrestle the team tournaments next year, but anytime we ask him about the club, he becomes tearful. Despite having learned more in just a few short months with this club, and pushing himself, he clearly didn't enjoy the extra challenge.<br />
<br />
I came to love the coaches, the families, and watching the other kids. That last tournament of Austin's season, the club entered as a team to win one of the largest trophies I've seen. In this tournament, they take the top 10 scores from the team that day. Austin had the 2nd highest scoring points for his team and his club won the tournament with the most points.<br />
<br />
I hope Austin continues wrestling at whatever level he enjoys, but I'm thankful for the time we had these years. I couldn't be more proud of him. Here are just a few pics from this season.<br />

Every year, Team World Vision comes to our Church to talk about running and raising money for families and children in need of clean water in Africa. The video they play, gets me every time. I would have signed up years ago if it wasn't for a few different things that I just couldn't get past. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of them, was fear. </div>
<div>
"You hate running" </div>
<div>
"You have bad knees from years of cheerleading & gymnastics" </div>
<div>
"You haven't gone to the gym since college" </div>
<div>
"You have zero time" </div>
<div>
"You are already overcommitted" </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The first step, is raising your hand, getting more information, and honestly, signing up. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I watched that movie, I honestly couldn't believe the people that were now labeled "runners". They were all different shapes, sizes, and ages. If someone twice my age could do it, why couldn't I? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next step, is telling people. I remember coming home from church and walking outside to see one of the runners in my neighborhood. I walked right in front of her, making her slow down and stop her watch (which I now realize would have been SUPER annoying) and I said it out loud. " I signed up for a half marathon!!" </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She was thrilled for me. She said she would send me an invite to the neighborhood running club group and announced to the group that day, that I had excitedly signed up to run. There. I told someone. Then I told lots of someones. As many people as I could, because then it meant I was truly committed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fast forward to my first days and weeks of training. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is the gear that I love and have found most helpful for running my first ever half marathon. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1) Shoes, good shoes. First I went to the local running store, Striders and was fit for Nike Pegasus. They fit and felt great. After hitting the road 5-6 times a week, my shins were in so much pain! I went back to the store and tried on lots more shoes and got more opinions. I left with <a href="https://www.famousfootwear.com/en-US/Product/16846-5257143/Skechers/Navy_Purple/Womens+GOrun+Ride+7+Running+Shoe.aspx?partnerid=MSNpla&cvo_adid=5257143-16846-7.0M&cvosrc=cse.BingShopping.16846&cvo_campaign=General&KPID=5257143-16846-7.0M%26k_clickid%3Df7281a20-2de4-4be1-8fd4-dfc414d094bc&msclkid=b52bbbcc25011ec11c6de0629ab61623&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping%20-%20Skechers&utm_term=1101102155040&utm_content=Skechers">Skechers GOrun</a> Ride 7 running shoes. I honestly feel like these shoes propel me forward. They have a great cushion and an angle that keeps me leaning forward.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2) <a href="https://www.amazon.com/FlipBelt-Level-Terrain-Waist-Medium/dp/B00JF9DWWU/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1538178644&sr=1-3&keywords=flip+belt">Flip Belt</a>. I knew that I wanted my phone with me while running. I wanted to listen to music and use GPS. An avid runner & friend of mine told me about flip belt. I was sold. This belt is awesome! I would recommend trying on sizes in the store rather than just buying off amazon. I would have probably bought a small online but then I went in the store and realized the XS was nice and snug and I could barely feel I was wearing it. I also snagged the 6 oz water bottle that I store in the pouch on the flat of my back. They have two different size water bottles meant for & made for flip belt.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3) wireless headphones by <a href="https://aftershokz.com/collections/all/products/trekz-titanium">Aftershokz</a>. These are the most amazing headphones. They rest in front of your ears and use bone conduction to deliver sound. Meaning you don't have something plugged in to your ears. You can hear the music but also hear whats going on around you while running like passing cars. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzXCpWYsVkmel7aKjgv2tJ21WXyxd-ZRBwBtb_KTd1rp4CZ46-oFKvKSQbLQ9eUo4018IomIYDsN1rhxmZnzgHo4y3ei5m8ROZsL1CnkpwqhRNrguQDrH78ayL5r6H5d2hs5E3n3nAcrA/s1600/grey_488acc09-1d5c-455a-95e9-47f85932c9c2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzXCpWYsVkmel7aKjgv2tJ21WXyxd-ZRBwBtb_KTd1rp4CZ46-oFKvKSQbLQ9eUo4018IomIYDsN1rhxmZnzgHo4y3ei5m8ROZsL1CnkpwqhRNrguQDrH78ayL5r6H5d2hs5E3n3nAcrA/s320/grey_488acc09-1d5c-455a-95e9-47f85932c9c2.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4) Music- the app called <a href="https://www.rockmyrun.com/">Rock my Run</a> is amazing!! you don't need to pay for a membership but at just 25$ a year, it was well worth it to skip some commercials and have ability to play music to your steps/stride or to your heartrate. I absolutely love this app. It's all remixed songs and just about every playlist you can imagine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv4jSY5AoWNd3RbVObkLbIRWQ6YsXGg4ueTAY1iud6j9-g4L6t4eVEpA_kKatk_bxYSkINFL6l4PKM5nL7GmqizFMgvHbAqTfY1vbgK9F4kqZqh30KpHg3O5CehpKPvq8Ikn52WOOvqlg/s1600/iPhone6_NowPlaying_V3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1059" data-original-width="1600" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv4jSY5AoWNd3RbVObkLbIRWQ6YsXGg4ueTAY1iud6j9-g4L6t4eVEpA_kKatk_bxYSkINFL6l4PKM5nL7GmqizFMgvHbAqTfY1vbgK9F4kqZqh30KpHg3O5CehpKPvq8Ikn52WOOvqlg/s320/iPhone6_NowPlaying_V3.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5) running app. I used <a href="https://www.mapmyrun.com/app/">Map my Run</a> by under armour. It worked well with my apple watch and tracks lots of activities, maps out your run, and gives you updates for each mile including pace and split pace. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc33mdcQYK5YVqx38F90Z4g3B0cwcbo73TKGyQyHKvv1UTn2WYcs3hm76lGg4NAHjDN805-r_Ac9Dk-5b282-k9AZWMHJnetr5SeseF4ZsddsRbQbmEQu73Ue1XiMSeqDcVHGabr4nm5Y/s1600/d2e2f86685bd5084fb7002019d8ef090.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="552" data-original-width="320" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc33mdcQYK5YVqx38F90Z4g3B0cwcbo73TKGyQyHKvv1UTn2WYcs3hm76lGg4NAHjDN805-r_Ac9Dk-5b282-k9AZWMHJnetr5SeseF4ZsddsRbQbmEQu73Ue1XiMSeqDcVHGabr4nm5Y/s320/d2e2f86685bd5084fb7002019d8ef090.png" width="185" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
6) a great headband - my head hates glasses, sunglasses, hats and headbands. almost immediate headaches for me. so I went with these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019ULQO5O/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1">nike tie headbands</a>. These stay in place and are the most comfortable. Especially for someone who hates wearing headbands mainly because of discomfort. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIh6kp-L-UtrNVBb5HoQOfkOnwjEU1X-JgPu9jZZ7AHVE_693nQMVY1n27drhSVLAmEl7LQj2nnuq19eH9fXiDHnt2G6_7H0txrhBzIhIVUyx5H-r6yFYNqoZsH9LsKO0zazTRe3T1lj8/s1600/31u8f-VV1yL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="404" data-original-width="500" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIh6kp-L-UtrNVBb5HoQOfkOnwjEU1X-JgPu9jZZ7AHVE_693nQMVY1n27drhSVLAmEl7LQj2nnuq19eH9fXiDHnt2G6_7H0txrhBzIhIVUyx5H-r6yFYNqoZsH9LsKO0zazTRe3T1lj8/s320/31u8f-VV1yL.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
7) <a href="https://www.amazon.com/ASICS-Womens-Cushion-Medium-Assorted/dp/B00NQYX8ZQ/ref=sr_1_8?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1538178577&sr=1-8&keywords=asics+socks">socks</a> - these asics socks have great cushion and a higher heel tab. These you can definitely snag off amazon! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU8CJ0z8WQYr2Hz-IKpifJv-nSkOd2lKEOO9VAoeenoiz0PIWtho4J2rdc2FfIQlyOliYVYMDthbrLJ1jV5snD6nXYOVDKjwv2AzRyDgkTkPfdvS3Lqzr0EEXZyLbci3gQ5NtzZsLIE1k/s1600/813m11PkLtL._SL1500_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="708" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU8CJ0z8WQYr2Hz-IKpifJv-nSkOd2lKEOO9VAoeenoiz0PIWtho4J2rdc2FfIQlyOliYVYMDthbrLJ1jV5snD6nXYOVDKjwv2AzRyDgkTkPfdvS3Lqzr0EEXZyLbci3gQ5NtzZsLIE1k/s320/813m11PkLtL._SL1500_.jpg" width="151" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
8) <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0186EMIIS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1">compression socks </a>- after my shins initially gave me some trouble, I found that these compression socks were very helpful. I ordered these off amazon after reading on a blog how much better they were than medical tape. For this price, it was well worth it even if I wasn't sure it would do the trick! I have worn on the left leg the entire training process. </div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
9) gummies - I haven't used many gummies during my running journey, but I did love the ease of these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HC76NW8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1">gatorade blocks</a>. many people complain they are hard to open and eat but I just opened prior to the run and didn't ever have an issue. they fit perfect in my flip belt and taste great. I bought bulk off amazon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMxyJUl30AoDawaRL15DqL-FBLAMqldCN680XHLl2jrFEZpGYKlIchYp8rGrhlZT2So-UhPOUmfVlRDU74c1P1y3ZsTl3r9PpbyO9NjCYPwJMewUJ3yJsJVaetY6G3jzrvY_2d3zINnsw/s1600/gatoraid.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMxyJUl30AoDawaRL15DqL-FBLAMqldCN680XHLl2jrFEZpGYKlIchYp8rGrhlZT2So-UhPOUmfVlRDU74c1P1y3ZsTl3r9PpbyO9NjCYPwJMewUJ3yJsJVaetY6G3jzrvY_2d3zINnsw/s1600/gatoraid.png" /></a></div>
Less than 3 weeks and my first half marathon will be under my belt. Not only that, but I have raised over 3500$ for water for Africa. The cause itself is inspiring and has helped me change habits around our home regarding water. This will be my first ever race! I have never even run a 5K before but this <a href="https://assets.donordrive.com/teamworldvision/files/$cms$/100/4085.pdf">training schedule</a> kept me on track and helped me find a groove.<br />
<br />
What's stopping you from doing something like this? I can tell you myself and people around me had their doubts but I hope to be testifying to people next year when time comes to sign up. To tell them, Yes, you can do this! No ones said it would be easy, but I can tell you that I have enjoyed it just as much as avid runners said I would. It's challenging and then some. I can't believe when I am talking to people now, I start talking about other races & different cities but the cause won't change.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps someone out when considering your first ever half marathon. Shoot me a message if you have any questions!<br />

It seems like they rush through the greenhouse so they can hurry up and visit the gift shop. I mean, the gift shop is filled with more fun and interesting toys than any other store. And they know they'll get to pick something out. But , nevertheless, we ended up going.<br />

I still brought my camera so I could play with my lens that is a 50mm f1.2. That low aperture is really fun to play with and I don't get to use it that low for my newborn sessions.<br />

Keeping the tradition alive, it was overall a great visit. We walked away with a small plush gorilla and a small poodle in a purse. The kids gave me what funds they had saved to contribute, still not quite grasping the value of a dollar but that will come. hoping to come back in the summer for the splash pad per usual!!House on Tuftonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08620456917568802006noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942188887030001200.post-20345488739224367702018-02-09T08:25:00.002-05:002018-02-09T08:25:47.078-05:00Long overdue updateI started to blog a while back when someone showed me how they printed their blog into a book at the end of each year, because honestly, who has time for scrapbooking. I remember when my mom devoted months to the scrapbooks for both Jarred and I. It sure is fun to look back on, but just like bronchitis, ain't nobody got time for that! One of my close friends has a beautiful blog and is really the one that got me started. When I asked her how she keeps up, she said, you just devote time to it. Simple as that. I just don't devote time to it. I would like to keep a better track record, but sometimes I find that I am trying to keep up with so much that I then pull the opposite. I stop posting on social media, blogging and even sometimes purposely forget my camera so I can 'live in the moment'. <br />

Our house has been getting updates and little face lifts and revisions. Jason has definitely lived up to the new phrase 'shiplap sunday'. And I don't even mind it. The dining space is full with ship lap.... <br />

Austin is really enjoying the wrestling season. Well it's already almost over. He has proven he can hold his own that's for sure. This year he went up against kids 5 pounds heavier and a grade older and it didn't phase him. He won 12 for 18 matches and who knows, I may have missed a few of the nights where he just did one match. The matches he lost, I was just as proud. He worked so very hard and gave it 100% all of the time. My favorite was watching Austin interact with the older kids on the team. He was often sent to a tournament with one kid from each weight class so he was the only 1st grader. I am glad he isn't afraid to do things when its not including his specific friends. In between rounds, he was usually trying to tackle one of the older kids and they enjoyed his 'go get 'em energy'. <br />

Ava: <br />
oh brother. Such a funny miss! we tried hip hop dance which she absolutely loved, but she's just a tad young. The classes start at age 7 for a reason but we tried it anyway to get an idea. she just needs to be a little older in order to have the coordination but she begs to go back all the time. We are heading back to gymnastics for a little while but dropped out since she was in the 4-5 year old class and they don't really get to do much but the same thing each week. Getting kids involved in things early, can be fun, but sometimes its nice to enjoy not having something every night of the week. She has modeled twice now for TinyTys and has been on the cover of the box of their first set of toys in stores. Its very fun when friends text pictures of her face in the toy store in the mall or in Meijer. She has been asked to model for an eyewear company in the spring. She gets very excited for photo shoots. <br />

Photography:<br />
The studio has been up and running for about 5 months now. I love it. It has pushed me to learn so much more about lighting which has always been more of a struggle since I have zero formal training. <br />
<br /><br />
I am now blessed by an overly full schedule that books up months in advance, mini session days that slots can't stay open because they are full before I announce them. I have had many students come through who have mentored through me and many more people whom I have taught lessons to. People are driving from hours away and I.feel.blessed. <br />

Well, that's life in a nut shell at the moment. I find myself lately saying 'right now, my kids WANT to be with me. it won't be long before their friends will take precedence over me.' Our plans for the year include planning a trip to Greece for Jason and I likely in August. <br />
<br /><br />
Work:<br />
Soooo many of my photography clients ask about my full time as a PA. I still work full time and don't have plans to cut back. I worked hard to get there too. I applied to a year long program to learn more about integrative care in oncology and will hear back in the spring if I was accepted. So many patients long and desire for anything and everything to treat their cancer. Working in the cancer realm for the past 7 years has engrained in me to live for today, life is short, don't wait to do things, try things, or learn new things. <br />
<br /><br />
Lee & Birch:<br />
A few years ago I was named the 'IT girl' for Lee & Birch clothing boutique. I continue to model for them in studio and for the runway shows whenever they ask. I absolutely love & adore everyone involved in that company. They have become friends and I just can't get enough of them. It's fun to do something for yourself especially when you take on so many other roles in life. <br />

Michigan is NOT holding out on the snow this year. I don't want to admit it but I'd much rather have the snow than just have the cold weather. The kids absolutely love it !! As if Ava's face doesn't verify that statement....<br />

Lola loves it too. Poor thing is wearing last year's sweater. Not that she minds, but she is a grown up puppy now. Every morning when I let her outside she immediately starts eating snow. She can't get enough and loves to get it all over her face. such a silly puppy!<br />

I am hoping to make it through winter with our Winter Bucket List. The kids got snowboards for Christmas so we are planning to hit up the slopes as soon as we pick up some helmets for the kids. The lake is finally frozen so we can't wait to get out and do some ice skating. Many more things are on the list....hoping we can make it through them all while keeping our sanity through the long winter.<br />
<br />
Cheers to a winter without cabin fever! (fingers crossed)<br />

Welcoming Maggie into this family with large open arms and plenty of happy tears. We had a beautiful day to celebrate Maggie and give her a bridal shower filled with love, laughter and beautiful things to start her marriage with Jarred.

Grace did not like when I suggested that it looked like Karly and Luke were posing with all of 'their' children. She said ewww gross. She was hilarious during all the photos, after we strapped her down to tie her dress. She did NOT want that dress tied. I don't blame her. Kids have their battles and we let her leave it untied as much as possible. It was the same with Austin and his stiff jeans and boots. He changed into sports clothes for the reception. <br />

They were able to join us late Saturday afternoon for the neighborhood easter egg hunt. We had such beautiful weather that day! We enjoyed a nice dinner together that night at home and then woke up to attend church together. After church we headed to my parents house for brunch. <br />

After brunch we headed back to our house for a little down time before the Easter egg hunt at my cousin Tara's. The guys decided they were going to head out and do some fishing. Austin grabbed a pole and Jason asked Austin if he wanted a worm on his hook. Austin quickly replied no and threw out his line. Austin told Grandpa and Daddy that he had something on. He started reeling in and sure enough Jason thought he was caught on seaweed. Into shore Austin reeled in this whopper as his line broke and Jason was able to grab the fish for Austin. I mean, come on, no worm? way to go buddy!</div>

The weather cleared up a little more and warmed up enough to have our easter egg hunt outside. The kids as usual were very excited about their kites from Kate and ran around with them with the little wind we had. It was a beautiful and wonderful Easter! So thankful that our families can easily blend and enjoy each other's company. </div>

The kids got their own luggage for Christmas in preparation. They had blankets and kindle fires, snack bags, and swimsuits, all packed and ready to carry on their first plane ride. Although Austin was sure to tell Ava that he had been on a plane once before while in my belly. which is true. </div>

The very first day was the longest of days it felt like. We were unable to get a direct flight that would put us there any early than later afternoon/evening, so we took the first flight out. We had to take two planes but we were able to make to the airport by 1pm and get to our hotel just before 3pm or so. We got into our hotel rooms and immediately saw giraffes right outside our balcony. <br />
<br />
We let the kids hit the swimming pool and tried to grab a bite to eat. Being a long day and not knowing our way around or how the meal plan works, we were a smidge crabby off the get go, but food cures bad moods. Then we got on the bus to head to magic kingdom. <br />
<br />
We waited an obscene amount of time in a customer service line to pick up our park passes since we had to show Jason's military I.D. So we managed to miss our fast pass times and were getting close to park closing time. So we ran through the park as thankfully they gave us our fast passes back and made it to the two most popular rides, Seven Dwarf mine train and Peter Pan. The kids loved the mine train and we all had no clue why Peter Pan is a popular ride. No really. That ride is weird. So we made it to one more ride, Buzz lightyear and realized it was late enough and we were all tired from the day of travel.<br />
<br />
So we ran through the park like maniacs all while Jason battled a non functioning double stroller. which is a side by side and also a pain in the side. Jason was cursing under his breath at every turn. <br />
<br />
So after all that we were there late enough to catch the fireworks. By that time, Jason would have ditched the fireworks in a heart beat. But my Dad and I were dead set on staying for the show. It was well worth it. Austin was pretty upset he slept through the entire thing but he caught the end which is the best part anyway. <br />

Overall Disney was just as magical as expected. We sure did have a fabulous times. I am glad we went all out and did it all in one trip. It was great that we could all spent the week together and in such beautiful accommodations as the Animal Kingdom. We were all ready to head back to reality but I wasn't ready to give up that beautiful weather. Heading back to Michigan in February is never fun. I was glad we had a Disney Travel Agent to plan everything for us and make it very easy with daily itineraries. I was glad we got the photo pass so we could stop and get family photos at any given moment. I really didn't carry my camera around which was kinda nice to not pack such a heavy item every day. Thankful for iphones to capture quick moments. I was glad we got to celebrate Ava's birthday in such a fun way and that Austin did so well with her getting lots of attention every day. Glad Austin fought Darth Vader and was on cloud 9 during all of that. So many things we may have done differently but overall was a fabulous trip that we will never forget! hopefully it won't take us that long to do another family vacation but maybe just a pool in nice weather will do. I am so thankful my parents and my brother were there to see all the magic through Austin and Ava's eyes. </div>

We lost her in February and it took me until December to be begging Jason daily for another pug in our lives! One day, I asked him, and he said 'maybe, if it works out' and sure enough I had been looking and found something right away. Yes, pretty much the same day. I knew that I wanted to get a girl again and with how similar fawn pugs look, I knew that I wanted to try to get a black one. Sure enough, the litter that was born about an hour and a half from our house had just ONE puppy left that wasn't claimed, at already 5 weeks old. It was a black female. I call it fate. Jason calls it....well he just plain out hates having a puppy. <br />
<br />
I remind him that when I got Lily, it was right before he left for his tour over seas. 15 1/2 months later, he came home to a well trained animal. This time around, he has had to deal with the potty training, chewing, and plain out horrible listening skills. He is not too thrilled and keeps comparing her to Lily. in fact, every day Jason plans Lola's demise. He probably threatens to get rid of her three times daily to say the least. <br />
<br />
I mean, look at that face!! Born Oct 14th, we were able to get her at 8 weeks old, just in time to claim her as our Christmas pug. <br />

Sure enough, the kids loved her right away. Maybe not so much today since she's a 6 month old terror. But she slept all the time back then, so who doesn't love a sleepy puppy!?<br />

Jason kept telling me how much I would hate having a puppy in the winter because i'd have to take her out all the time when it was freezing cold. It wasn't fun, but the nice part was that she went potty right away!!<br />

On my lap as much as possible. I feed her, I take her out, I take care of her, give her baths, and sure enough...who do you think she loves the most? Jason. of course. Always craving attention from the person who can't stand her.<br />

Thankfully she is starting to be a better listener and potty training is finally getting better as well. Doesn't make Jason want her any more but that's ok. He'll learn to love her once she's the lazy pug he was expecting....might be a while but in the mean time, she's got my heart that's for sure. <br />

Often influencing his want/desire to hop in and try a sport. I won't forget those first few days of school where Austin used to cling to me when I dropped him off in the before school program. A boy older than Austin came up to him and called him by name and asked him to play. I was so impressed. Such a polite kid. I then found out he lived in our neighborhood and then stalked his Mom one day to tell her how well mannered and wonderful her boys were. I'm pretty sure I caught her off guard so early in the morning with a crazy Mom like me jumping in her way, but more often than not should we point out those amazing things that happen at school. Especially since Austin continues to look up to these boys. Sure enough, their dad is the wrestling coach for Byron Center. <br />
<br />
I didn't really believe Austin when he said he wanted to do wrestling. I don't know anything about wrestling but I clearly wasn't looking at Austin in the right light. I thought 'Austin, you are pretty shy when it comes to sports and you're not a big kid'. This sport is one on one, you can't fall back like in soccer when you just watched the mob of kids run around the field. And even though I thought T-ball might be the best option, he enjoyed it, but couldn't wait till the season was over. <br />
<br />
Austin waved the wrestling form in my face when it came home from school and I reluctantly signed him up, reminding him he needed to follow through no matter what. <br />
<br />
Two practices a week has been keeping us busy for the past few months. Austin had his first scrimmage a few weeks ago and wrestled one of his friends that he practices with often. The boys had to go first in front of the crowd of one other school and our own. Austin won. I was surprised honestly. He scored the most points of anyone that night against an opponent. Then comes the Novice Tournament last weekend. Austin was up for three matches. <br />
<br />
Here he is beaming before his first match.<br />

I got down there and tried to take some video but clearly wasn't paying attention to where my phone was pointed as it often was videoing the mat :) I was screaming and repeating everything Jason was saying since I am still behind on the wrestling lingo. The last I looked, the score was 18-2 and Austin won! <br />

2nd match Austin was set up to go against one of the coaches sons from our own team. I was incredibly nervous since this kid clearly knew more 'moves' than Austin. Austin is determined to get kids over and on their backs, but I kept thinking Austin needs more moves in his back pocket. Sure enough, Austin won his 2nd match. <br />

Austins third match was against a kid a little bigger than him who put up a good fight. I have video of that and he ends up pinning him and winning. 3/3 matches just like that !! So stinkin proud of this kid! <br />

Here is Austin with his first medal!<br />

Jason inscribed all the details on the back. Austin wore the medal to church the next morning and would tell anyone that looked in his direction about how he is undefeated. <br />

<br />
I am so thankful for Austin's determination. Thankful for the young boys that were so kind when they could have left Austin alone during those first few days of school. Thankful for good coaches who devote their own time and energy into the lives of our young people. Thankful that Austin knew that he was also able to win because he has Jesus in his heart, as he put it. Looking forward to the rest of the season. Oh and Austin did learn more moves...in fact, he has put me in a half Nelson about 20 times since last weekend!! <br />

A little over 5 years ago when I was pregnant with Ava. I was 27 weeks pregnant when I went into premature labor. Scariest thing of my life. I was in so much pain and completely unsure if I was somehow being a baby or if it was real. I went in to see the doctor and they were nervous I had appendicitis. They sent me back across the street to the hospital and was even afraid to call my mom, again I really didn't want to alarm anyone for no reason. Once I got hooked up to the monitors, I was sitting there and out of the blue came real contractions. Not good. Long story short, the contractions wouldn't stop and I had to have magnesium, a drug that could possibly be used to torture someone. I remember feeling like fire was escaping from every inch of my body. I also remember the 'run over by a semi truck' feeling. I was in the hospital for about a week when I was finally released home on the dreaded...bedrest. Someone like me has no clue what rest is. Especially when they really only wanted me to get off the couch for a shower and to go to the bathroom and that was it! <br />
<br />
My mom was trying to help keep me busy and take my mind off things. She saw a beautiful shawl in the yarn shop and picked up the pattern and the expensive yet so beautiful mohair yarn. 4 skeins. Casting on 180 stitches for a scalloped edge and then 90 stitches for 80 inches. whew!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I started making it but if you know the story of me and my bedrest, I ended up not resting very much. I went into labor again at 34 weeks and again hospitalized, although thankfully without magnesium this time. Ava was born happy and healthy at 39 weeks. Thank the Good Lord above. Once she was here, I had a 15 month old and a newborn and was busier than ever. Jason was building our house and was barely home. I put off this project, time and time again. Tiny needles, difficult to work with yarn, and a million stitches that never ended. It wasn't on the top of my to do list. <br />
<br />
I brought it on every vacation knowing that sticking me on an airplane was an easy way for me to have time to myself to knit. This shawl traveled the world so far hitting for sure Italy and the Dominican Republic. I finished the shawl last week. Ava turns 5 next month. That's one really long never ending project. <br />

It's got imperfections. Dropped stiches that I didn't fix and increased stitches without noticing. But it doesn't matter. I wasn't about to worry about that. I knew my mom would love it no matter what. Plus, those little imperfections are what make it even better. That's what you end up loving most about homemade items. Or at least I do! I know how much my mom will wear it. And I know how much she will brag about her daughter making it for her. She may laugh and tell them I started it 5 years ago, which might make them think I worked on it all that time, but I really didn't. I wish I would have finished it for her earlier, but I'm glad it's done. And for all the things she makes for me or for my kids, this was a drop in the bucket to what we owe her! <br />

Even though it's my least favorite season, it makes the kids thrilled for something new to do. I have to admit watching their joy brings me so much joy. They are old enough to go out on their own while mommy shivers inside drinking hot chocolate. But good thing I don't mind getting bundled up with them. I took them to the neighborhood park with a MUCH bigger hill. Both kids flew down the hill and dragged their sleds back up time and time again so I could push them back down. Thankful that if we are gonna have snow, that its enough to have fun with! <br />

Now with snow/winter here, don't know if I can get some good exterior pictures but will try. Just glad I even got these pictures posted. We love the deck. It's not screened in but has had many uses with the fireplace now. Can't wait to see the finished product with furniture etc once Spring rolls back around.</div>

We left Rome in style. A Mercedes picked us up in front of our hotel for our a 3 hour drive to Sorrento. It was incredibly mountainous scenery and I was in love. It was amazing to see volcanoes along our way as well. Because I do not feel I am 'well-traveled', I am just in awe of God's landscape. <br />

Our hotel located right on the cliff was gorgeous. I don't always care that much about our hotel room to be honest. I care more about the location in order to explore the town more easily. This hotel seemed a little bit more older/vintage in regards to the hotel rooms but the views were just phenomenal. And their breakfasts? the best by far!! a feast on top of a feast on top of a feast.<br />

We walked into town to grab some lunch and of course I grabbed a whole pizza just for myself. I mean, when in Italy right? I ate pizza at every meal, let's be honest. Jason had lasagna with eggs in it. Always finding a way to sneak in some more protein :) <br />

That's our deck down below with the orange umbrellas<br />

We ran into some light rain but ran into the shops to do some light shopping. We went into the grocery store to pick up some wine, candy, and coke light. I wrote that we got lost. Now it's all coming back to me. We took some interesting turns and ended up on a far end of town. I don't think this was necessarily my fault this time, but I would say 90% of the time we got lost, it was totally my fault! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And here is the upper deck<br />

We went back to the hotel to figure out our dinner plans. Since every day it was our mission to eat at the best place in town, which often meant, 'finding the hidden gems'. We went to a mother/son restaurant called Ghibli on the beach. We were right down on the water. It was time for me to get some seafood so I had gnocchi with clams. Which were amazing by the way. Jason got the lamb. We shared some red house wine. I definitely got more of a taste for red wine during this trip. <br />

There is a hotel right at the edge of this cliff that is 3,000$ per night. And it can cost up to $1 million dollars a month to vacation there.<br />

Our last stop was Ravello. The city of music. Where many artists and poets settle. This is where the first factory was for limoncello. We arrived and our driver had called ahead to a restaurant where we got a table right at the edge of the cliff. Hard to describe the views. only so many times in this blog post can I use phenomenal, beautiful & amazing. <br />

It was a beautiful way to celebrate our anniversary. This day was the day we got married 10 years prior. It was such a beautiful way to explore the Italian countryside. <br />
<br />
We got back to our hotel that night and ate at Villa Rubinacchi in the Garden. We had pizza for an appetizer which led us to ordering so much food since it was our last meal. It was amazing and so inexpensive for how much we ate. Of course I was stuffed beyond belief and had plenty of room for one last cup of gelato. <br />
<br />
This was a trip of a lifetime. Although we missed a few key places in Italy, I can see us returning one day to explore more. A beautiful country full of people who are so absolutely pleasant and views that cant be described. <br />
<br />
I am so thankful for the time we could spend together, to help remind us why we fell in love in the first place. I'm also reminded to travel and then work some more so you can travel some more. <br />

We got to the train station and I remember having trouble seeing our train even listed on the screen. It was a busy day for trains and I mixed up departing and arriving while Jason was in the bathroom and as soon as he got out, we got on the train. When the conductor came around to grab our tickets, he realized we were on a train to Milan, NOT Rome. He was very nice and we ended up wasting about 2 hours as we had to get off after about an hour and then wait for the next train going the opposite direction. Sheesh! So we left at 9am and got to Rome at 12:40p. woops! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We took to the streets of Rome to do some shopping. A lot of the city was closed for their holiday to celebrate the Virgin Mary. We went out for dinner and then took the walk to the Trevi Fountain. <br />

I learned so much about the Vatican that I didn't know! I had no clue it was it's own country with it's own rules/jail/etc. We just happened to be visiting when it was the year of the Jubilee. This only happens once every 25 years. The Pope designates an area of the Vatican to open a new doorway. It is said that if you walk through this doorway that your sins are forgiven. After the year of the Jubilee is over then the doorway is closed and never to be opened again. <br />

I took more pictures than I am posting but half of the reason of why I took the pictures, I now can't remember. Could be because it was beautiful but we had some awesome tour guides explaining, and everything to me was fascinating. <br />

A piece done by Michelangelo called the Pieta, which depicts Jesus on Mary's lap following his crucifixion. It is now behind glass walls because a man from Australia climbed on it and hit it with a hammer 13 times and was then placed in 1/3 Vatican Jail cells for a number of years.<br />

This was one awesome tour day. To hear about the ruins, how much was stolen and destroyed. Imagining everything covered in marble and beautiful stones. We had an awesome tour guide as I mentioned that was incredibly passionate. It helped make the tour not only educational but incredibly interesting to hear the facts and details dating back to times even before Christ. It's so hard to even imagine what life was like back in those times but even the movie Gladiator was helpful to give a glimpse of the Coliseum and what it may have been like. Rome was a stop unlike any other and I'm so glad we didn't miss out! Up next we take a private car driven by a Pitbull look-a-like a few hours to Sorrento!!

<br />
<br />
We arrived via train to Florence, but what I didn't do was although I had our transportation from city to city booked and all set, I didn't have transportation set up once we reached the city to get to the hotel. Which is ok since the hotels were always very close to the transportation hub, however, we learned very quickly that I can NOT be trusted when it comes to directions. <br />
We took a tram to get closer to our hotel however we still got lost and thankfully Jason always steered us back in the right direction. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Many places were closed for 'holiday' so we decided to hop on a bus going to' The Mall'. The Mall is a designer outlet (Prada, Gucci, Valentino, Burberry....) and funny enough ate lunch in Gucci at the Gucci cafe. We didn't buy anything but had a fun trip checking it out. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We then walked around the streets of Florence and many little bars were open. We decided to take a seat so I could buy an infamous 'spritz' which is an orange liqueur with soda and Prosecco. In Venice they make it with wine instead of champagne. Then we found an amazing 'mom and pop' restaurant called Trattoria Armando, which words can't describe, it was that good. So so so good. Can't rave enough about it. We got there early enough to get a spot since they take mostly reservations and are booked for the night. We enjoyed the beautiful sunset below while resting in a food coma from all the amazing food and wine. <br />

Sienna and Florence had always been in battle back in ancient times. The core of the two cities were based on rich families in constant feud, which they say inspired Romeo and Juliet. The story of Robin Hood was also inspired from Sienna. </div>

We just happened to be in Sienna when they were celebrating the famous Palio horse race. It was set to happen the day after we were there (occurs annually). There are 13 districts that make up Sienna. Whatever district you were born in, regardless of whom you marry or where you have moved, is the district you are to cheer for. Each district has a different silk scarf that each individual wears during this celebration. And here is where the horse race takes place.</div>

After the tower was partially built up the people ran out of money, and construction had been stopped. ( the tower was already leaning at this time as it was built on a foundation of sand) Then once decided to continue building they tried to correct the lean, which is why the tower curves almost like a banana.</div>

We made it to the top. It was hard to do with the slippery marble steps that were leaning. Not to mention we had to pass some people in the narrow stairwell that were having a hard time making it to the top. The stairs weren't close together so coming down was actually more difficult since it's slippery and people are trying to climb up and get down in a very narrow space.</div>

We ended up flying right after the Delta computer systems crashed. It left us with a couple of headaches. 1) we had to change our flight from Atlanta to Paris ----> to Atlanta to Rome. This left us without our baggage (go figure) when we finally arrived into Venice from Rome since we started our tour in Venice. 2) This also increased our flight time and we spent 10 hours on that flight. So we went from Grand Rapids to Atlanta to Rome to Venice. Besides being completely disappointed in the fact that we were without our luggage, we had amazing views of the canals of Venice on our way to our hotel, which could make you forget just about anything.<br />

St. Marks Basilica. St. Mark once had a dream that despite not currently living in Venice at the time, that he was to be buried there. Once Mark had died, the Venetians went to Egypt and stole Mark's body. When inside the Basilica you can see his tomb/casket. <br />

yes that bell tower in the photo below is leaning. although I do tend to take crooked pictures time to time. Venice is built on a marshland and that is why the rumor of Venice sinking is absolutely true. Its very possible if nothing was done to stop the water from overtaking the city, that Venice would sink completely in 70 years. In November every year, all the people that reside there need to wear knee high rubber boots because the town is flooded.<br />

amazing calamari. Most of the restuarants don't open until at least 7pm. And a lot of the Italians are on 'holiday' the month of August. So we asked a tour guide where to eat and she told us about these cute and quaint restaurants on the far side of Venice past the Jewish Ghetto (which is the first 'Geto' there ever was) <br />

Jason bought me my first bottle of Moscato to which I replied, 'when in rome' and of course not being in Rome, it doesn't exactly work as well, and I never repeated that statement when we were actually in Rome. <br />

There are so many more photos on my phone and camera but these are just a few highlights of Venice. We received our luggage the night before we left and I had never felt happier! This is on our train to Florence. My expressions still need some help but I was working on my selfie stick skills.<br />
