New Plan

Well in my previous blog we were hoping to go to the Happiest Place on Earth---due to budget restraints this may not be a possibility.

So do any of you have some great budget friendly get-aways for spring break?

We are using the "Secret" and I am putting my order out to the universe and know that Blair will be enjoying a new job around the first of April. For those of you who don't know what the secret is -google it. I really believe it works - so here's to a new job and a fun family vacation!

Happiest Place on Eath

Okay- I am enlisting help from you all who read my blog. I am trying to plan a budget friendly family vacation to Disneyland and San Deigo. We will be leaving over spring break and I would love any tips or websites or must see ideas. This is what I need to know- Have any of you heard or used the Southern California City Pass? It sounds like a great thing. You get admission to the following six attractions:

3-day Disneyland® Resort Park Hopper® Bonus Ticket* valid for admission to both Disneyland® Park and Disney’s California Adventure® Park

1-day admission ticket to SeaWorld Adventure Park® San Diego

1-day admission ticket to the San Diego Zoo® or San Diego Zoo® Wild Animal Park

1-day admission ticket to Universal Studios Hollywood™©

The best way to purchase this is through Costco and it averages out to be around $200.00 a person.

My next question is we will be spending 4 nights in Anaheim and then driving to San Deigo to hopefully rent a beach house for 2 days. Do any of you have any ideas on great beaches to try? Or any suggestions on websites to find beach houses?

Time is limited so if you have suggestions please comment!

Krispy Kreme.

My kids have trained me to STOP and go to krispy kreme donuts whenever the light is on for a FREE hot delicious donut, but tonight to our dismay learned they have a new policy. You now have to purchase something to get a "free" donut. I was so unimpressed.

However being the good mom that I am, couldn't look at Candace's sad face and empty hands-so I bought a dozen fresh donuts! Lesson learned Nothing is Ever FREE.

Lucky

I don't know if it's the month of March or the reflective mood I am in, I just can't help but feel Lucky. I am lucky to have such wonderful family and friends. I am lucky to have the gospel in my life. I am lucky to be a mom. I am lucky to be blessed with all that I have.

Although, at times I have been bitter about the trials our family is going through I still find it amazing how lucky I am to have witnessed tender mercies of the Lord in my life. At times I have really wondered what kind sense of humor my Heavenly Father has. Doesn't he know me....doesn't he realize I have been pushed to what I think are my very limits? ( which never tell the Lord you can't take anymore because he will show you that you can )...thus

More trials come

I have learned that he knows me better then I know myself. I have learned that I am not the one driving this car I call my life- someone else is and he is trying to teach me to ENJOY the journey.

I don't want pity- I just want to let those of you who have been there through it all to know how much you mean to me. I really am Lucky!
