It was beautiful; I wish I had time to recant every little detail and awe-inspiring moment. However, I discovered this week that I am going to be singing at church tomorrow morning and must wake up a good 2 hours earlier than I have been the past week for practice. So, before I close my eyes for the night, I just wanted to share with you some of my favorite moments on this trip.
Singing “Lead Me to the Cross” with a waterfall as my accompaniment.
Evenings in the jacuzzi reading and chatting with Mom and Bethany.
Finding out my best friend is going to go to New York with me this summer!
Walking through the snow to view the Giant Sequoias.
Not having to exercise at the end of the day because I did some intense hiking earlier.
Learning how to ski and LOVING it!
Cooking dinner for my family.
Bethany jolting awake after nodding off in the car because she “fell off a roof” in her dream.
Sleeping in…a luxery almost forgotten to me in my life these days.
Sharing a room again….gosh it’s been what? 14 years since I’ve done that?
Stealing hangers from other available closets for our own use.
Project Runway, What Not to Wear, Get Smart, I Love Lucy, but no Food Network. 
Having to walk to the business office every day for internet and connection to the outside world.
Taking lots of pictures.
Throwing snowballs sneakily as we walked 2 miles to the sequoias.
Counting how many deer we saw on the whole trip….how far did we get? 50?
I’m sure there’s loads more, but I can barely keep my eyes open. It was a wonderful time. We were so blessed by our friends to receive this amazing vacation as a gift, and my parents are fabulous for shelling out the extra costs for us to have a good time. Thank you one and all!
