Star Tours Fever



So most people know that Michael is nuts about Star Tours at Disneyland. When we first started going to disneyland michael was too short and growing to slowly to be able to ride the ride. So finnally tired of waiting Michael got some new shoes:). They gave him that little boost that he needed to hit the height mark. I still remember so clearly the moment when they said he was tall enough. He was glowing and the smile wouldn't fade. I waited for Rich and him to get off the ride and he was so excited even then. "Mommy they let me on the ride. I was big enough and they let me on" He was so happy and so excited that he was finnally big enough. Then he wanted to ride it again right after so it was my turn. Needless to say i got motion sick, but it was cool to ride it with him. After just one ride he knew the ride by heart and said every word by heart. He was in love with Captain Rex, C-3PO, and R2-D2. He rides it faithfully every time we visit and is even more excited then the first time and is still amazed that he is tall enough to ride. So now Halloween is coming up and Michael has decided to be C-3P0 this year and of course Gabriel will be the matching R2-D2. He is so excited because we are going to Disneyland during Halloween and he gets to ride Star Tours as C-3PO and be him all day. So in 10 more days we get to go. We have tickets to the Halloween Party after hours to trick-or-treat with the characters and everything and we are so excited about. So Disneyland here we come.. It has been too long.

Drop your bags at the door


I'm so excited..In just a few weeks we are having our womens mini-retreat. I know that God has some awesome things in store for us. He's been using me alot in some new ways and i am so excited about that also. I've become a part of the women of my church in a way. It's taken time and effort and sometimes it wasn't so easy but i have grown so much these past few years and i am learning to make the jump from youth to woman. I have always felt more comfortable with the youth and in that area but i know that it is time for me to become a part of the womens group and i am so excited to see what God has in store for me.

November 8th is the mini-retreat and it is going to be awesome and i hope everyone is ready to come and Drop their bags at the door and let Jesus claim the baggage in their lives.I know i am!
