I saw the above quote on Pinterest and it really annoyed me. I don't agree with it. I love my life. I love my job. My husband. My pup. My house. My town. My state. My family. My friends. I adore my life and I wouldn't trade it for anyone else's. BUT. I still love a good vacation. I have lived in the same state my entire life so maybe that is why I love to travel? I love to explore a new town. Try new restaurants. Experience new things. See a large body of water. Experience God's beautiful creation. See how other people live. I feel free and relaxed. There aren't any pressures to do chores and it's an escape from my usual routine. It refreshes me. I look forward to vacations. I love spontaneous weekend getaways. And I don't think anything is wrong with that. I don't think that means I don't love the life I have. It just means I want to experience new things. Okay, thanks for listening. It feels good to have that off my chest. Do you agree? Disagree?
Speaking of vacation... G and I are thinking about going to Chicago in November. It would be fun to see my brother, stay in a pretty hotel and see the sights. It's also tempting to stay home and paint the kitchen or stay in of our usual favorite places. Decisions! I need your help! If we decide to head to Chicago, where should we eat? What should we do? Where should we stay? Thanks!!!!

Drinking tea out of my new mug that I made is my happy. Also? I put a little sign on my desk that says "Don't let anyone ever dull your sparkle' and that makes me ridiculously happy too. It's the little things in life.

We saw another double rainbow this week. Crazy! I go my whole life never seeing one and then I see two in two weeks time.

I don't know what it is about putting dinner in the crock pot before work, but it makes me feel like I'm winning at life!
So G and I got this Chrome Cast for our TV and it is LIFE CHANGING. We can watch YouTube, Amazon Prime, church online, and Netflix from our phones ON THE TV. Technology is crazy! So we've been watching Dexter with our free month of Netflix to try it out. I don't love the second season as much as the first. Dexter is my favorite character and it stresses me out that they are investigating his work. It's taking a bit longer to get through, but still love it and all the complexity and surprises. G had football games to watch this weekend so I read a book and got hooked on Bones. Since I finished CSI: Miami I needed another crime show. I like that each episode is wrapped up in a pretty little bow.
It's been kinda rainy here, but warm. I'll take it. It's a nice break from jacket and glove weather while walking Manny last week. I hope winter never comes.

I used to not be a big fan of Biggby until I tried their Honey Cinnamon Latte. I'm such a fan now and a bit obsessed! It is really good, I highly recommend. I met up with some sweet friends for lunch yesterday and there was a Biggby next door so we had to stop! It's funny because there are now about five us in the office addicted to this drink. Thank goodness for BOGO coupons!
Give me your randoms!

i totally agree with you on the vacation quote! we work hard so we can experience the wonders and sights that we can't see everyday...maybe it's more about the fact that you want to build a life that you're actually going to MISS while you're on vacation, and not one that you are just begging to get away from!
