Pack it up

Really quick I just have to brag about my weekend! On Friday my husband gave me an early Christmas present. It was a much needed gift card for a massage. THEN he surprised me with a babysitter on Saturday so we could have a date night (which we hadn't had in a long time)! Awesome right? I am so lucky! On to the post...

Today we are packing up to head to California tomorrow! Have I mentioned we are taking the train? I am so excited, I've never taken a train, unless you count the one at Knotts Berry Farm (but I don't). Have you taken a train anywhere? How was it? I'm a little worried for Mason because he only sleeps in his car seat or crib and we will have neither of those AND we're traveling in the middle of the night AND the ride is almost 18 hrs. Any pointers? I would love to hear!

Unfortunately I just looked at the weather report and of course it will be snowy and windy tomorrow of all days! We still have so much to do! The laundry is still piled and the only suitcase packed is the one full of Christmas presents.

I am excited, however, because tomorrow I get to meet my best friend's new little baby before they head off to Canada FOREVER (rethink it Ros).

Have an amazing Christmas everyone! I will definitely take pictures of our train adventure and will be sure to share them with you!

Blupdate

Hello Friends! Sorry I've been away for so long. The baby, hubs, and I moved back to Idaho but took a two week vacation on the way. We started at "the river" where we had loads of fun with my mom's family, then headed to Utah for Aspen grove (which I mentioned before). There we spent a luxurious week (no cooking, no cleaning) with my dad's fam and wore our awesome family reunion t-shirts (more on that later). Over the 2 weeks I've had very minimal internet access and now that we our back in Idaho, we are trying to get the internet hooked up at our apartment. Hopefully that happens soon so I can share what I've worked on lately (one word, stripes)! Anyhoo, for now it's unpacking and trying to get back into a routine.

Fancy Travel: Ol' Paris

One of my greatest passions in life is traveling, I love to travel! I love new cultures, not knowing the language, foreign transportation, I love it all. Almost three years ago I had the Opportunity to go on a tour across Europe with BYU-Idaho (where I went to school) for a month. Due to this trip it is now one of my life goals to live in Europe, not forever, but for a few years. The ultimate dream would be to live in a quaint European town where they rides bikes everywhere!

Last week, I'm a little embarrassed to admit,  I went to see Monte Carlo with my sister. Let me just tell you, they had me when the girls arrive at the Sacre Coeur. The beginning of the movie is set in Paris so I was happy. In the movie they visit the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Sacre Coeur, so did I! I think my sister was getting sick of me saying, "I went there, I stood RIGHT THERE, oo I remember that." Yes I'm one of those movie watchers! Sorry but I could not help myself. When I see places I've been I'm as giddy as a school girl!

I thought I'd share a little of Paris with you today! (More pictures after the jump)
