Yosemite Adventure

I have been to Yosemite National Park a couple of times before, but both times were in the summer and I've always wanted to see the park in the winter time.  I took the last of my vacation time for the week after Christmas and planned a trip with the boyfriend to make that fantasy a reality.

The park was more beautiful than I had anticipated, and it wasn't as cold as I thought it would be either, no heavy jackets were necessary.  I had originally thought that I would just touch on this part of my trip in my monthly blog, but there were so many fun pictures that I thought I'd share most of them in their own post.

Hope you enjoy, I know I did.

 

 

Happy New Years!!!

Hello faithful readers, I hope you all have a safe and sane holiday. If you drink please don't drunk, I want to keep you all around for years to come.

I hope 2013 is the best year yet for you, and that each year after only gets better.

I posted my New Year's Resolutions on an earlier blog, you can read them here and maybe come up with a few of your own.

Merry Christmas Readers

So readers, were you on the nice list or the naughty list this year? A combination of both?

I hope that you have a fabulous holiday celebration with your loved ones, whether they be family, friends or maybe even co-workers, and that Santa is good to you all.

Hug your loved ones a little closer this year, and remember the ones who aren't celebrating with us this year.

Yesterday marked 16 years since my grandpa passed away and the Coca Cola Santa I posted the picture of always reminds me of him. I think about him often and like to think that he's my own personal guardian angel. I know he's out there looking out for me. It's hard to believe that so much time has gone by, but I know he's been there for our family every step of the way, we've lost a few other close family members over the years, Uncle Junior, my brother Everett, and Aunt Josephine and I still find myself watching the door for them to walk in sometimes. Christmas time is a time for celebrating family and it feels different when members are missing, but I think it just makes you cherish the ones who are still here more.

Have a safe and healthy holiday friends. I can't wait to hear about your experiences and maybe even a few shenanigans.  Talk to you soon.

Merry Christmas
Love
Lauren
