Henderson Pass

Just wanted to give everyone a glimpse of what we saw.

Really Beautiful



Lake Shore Drive: All of these photos I took in the car. I was just amazed that we drove for miles and miles on bridges to cross the massive swamps and rivers on our way to New Orleans.

I love first time experiences, really in aww, of all the swamps and the amount of rain that came down!

 

Going over the pass

 

 

More photos of our little adventure over the bridges.

 

 

Whiskey Bay

 

 

 

Can it really be? Why yes I think sooo...

Seven Years

 

One of our first photos together.

Don't we look so young and slim???

 

 

I can hardly believe we've been married seven years.

Al had just gotten his car, we've had some great adventures and memories in that car.
Just wanted to take a stroll down memory lane...
Most of these photos are the fifteen months that we dated.

Not sure who got Al to laugh but I love his smile.

Our first road trip together.

Dream come true to see a Dodger's game.

Stewart Falls, in Utah

Met up with Al's parents in Salt Lake City.
I have the best Father in law who took us for a ride
around the city. I was so excited I think I was the
first one to get on.

First time meeting Al's brother and his family.

Getting our first Christmas Tree.

Our first Christmas Together.

My grandma made Al a birthday cake.

My grandparents invited us to a church dinner.

Aren't they so cute together?

My grandpa and "us"


We've had our joys, laughter and even sadness.

The night we got engaged, a night full of joy and surprise! 

 

I remember we had only been married eighteen months

 

and had met our new neighbors who had been married

 

for seven years and I remember them being so sweet together

 

who had no children.

 

Here, we are in a similar situtaion.

 

I've been thinking about marriage lately and how you go in with faith

 

and have hope that you've picked a spouse that will always be by your side

 

especially when the thunderstorms come because they will come.

 

Will you have picked someone who will leave you feeling

alone in the drenching rain?

 

or have you done good and picked someone who will hold

your hand and guide you out of the storm and help dry you off.

 

Will they be there when the sunshine comes out?

 Be that special someday to enjoy the rainbows with.

 

As each year goes by I realize how blessed

I am to share my life experiences

with this great man I've been given.

He continues to show me time after time

that he is by my side

and that we are a TEAM

 

We don't have a perfect marriage

I've come to the conclusion that doesn't exist 

 I'm not perfect and have many many flaws

but in these years I've grown so much as a person

beyond what I thought was possible

 

We are two opposites with all our

strengths and weaknessess

to become one unit.

 

 

Looking forward to what the future brings

with many more years of adventures together.

 



Welcome to Louisiana

On Sunday my amazing husband let me sleep all day while he packed the car. Somehow I found the energy to pack all the things we needed and do the last minute cleaning of our house.

 

Al got our car working again and so we decided to hit the road in FAITH.

I can't remember the last time I've been so sick. It hasn't been the best road trip but I'm trying to make it a somewhat pleasant experience.

 

We stopped in Houston to get some lunch and I talked to a pharmacist what I could take with my antibiotic. He told Claritin. I've never had sinus problems but clearly my body wanted to show me what it's like to have sinus infection. Sounds and light make me dizzy. Severe toothache with a whole box of kleenex. I call it the GIFT that keeps on giving. 

 

Claritin did noththing for me but while traveling all the trees and nature made me feel happy.

 

We both haven't ever been to Louisiana so it's pretty exciting experience...

Finally arrived

 Love these trees, can't get enough

 So bummed while driving across a border there wasn't a welcome to Louisiana sign but discovered this sign instead which worked out to be a perfect discovery.

 My first visit to a swamp

 This little gecko looked black with a bit of red

While sitting on a picnic bench getting ready to have a snack this little guy came to visit me, yeah he scared me a little bit but he or she was harmless.

New memories coming quickly

Last summer my luggage that I've had for ten years finally gave up and so I thought it was finally time for my luggage full of great memories to retire.

My new duffle bag

Let the new adventures Roll

Moving on OUT...

Truly the Best Stuff on Earth

I will miss having my husband work for Snapple. I've always loved Snapple.

Our little stock for the summer but I'm sure it won't last long.

The day my husband decided to put in his notice his boss called him in to offer him a promotion.

We are onto Better, Newer Adventures...
