Welcome. One more of these for this month what the? And this coming week we step into FALL for real. Summer is gonna be gone in days. This year is truly flying by. Unsure if I like that so much...
1. Church was beautiful on Sunday. Till we got sad news our Pastor is leaving us to go back to HC where he began. I know he had issues with his stroke 2 years ago. This news just broke my heart. Right before our vacation. Seriously sad news not good timing either boo :(
2. September 11th is always a sad day for me as many others. Its sad for those who lost someone. But its sad for anyone alive. We all remember. It was a heart breaking day. 21 years later I will NEVER forget 9/11. I pray no one every forgets even those who have to be told about it because it happened before they born....
3. Our vacation in 3 parts. Sunday last week we left late around closer to 3pm. And we hit rain going towards Arizona. I think that was our sign of things to come. Ugh. No fun. Almost flooding. We came into Arizona around 8pm and checked in about 8:30pm. Lake Havasu was our first stop. We there Sunday night till check out on Monday morning. Very nice place we stayed that first night. Loved it almost perfect. Saw London Bridge in the morning. Clouds and beauty a nice day out in general. Then we began our journey to Williams.
4. Our journey from LH to Williams was NO fun at all. First we had rain and then flooding on the 40 so we had to turn around as we could have drowned in the car. We stayed in an Arby's for like an hour waiting out the bad rain and thunder and lightning. It was pretty scary. We got on the famous 66 and the weather behaved for a bit. Then we saw a beautiful full rainbow. We saw ahead dark clouds no idea what we going into. Then began pounding rain, thunder, lightning and HAIL not small like medium sized. We pulled over to try to wait for it to slow down for several minutes. Praying and crying and freaking out. We finally decided to just keep going and we did. It finally calmed down we saw our second full rainbow. Then we driving and hit our third storm same stuff hail and all. The hail got so bad we went under the roof of a gas station with several cars to wait it out. Finally thank God we okay to go so we went on the 40 again. We got to William just fine. Checked in. Even tried out the indoor spa and pool. Spa was super nice! Tuesday was more busy for us because it rained we decided to do Bearizona and it was a lot of fun. Looked at the animals even in the rain they out. We also before we went snuck in a nap after breakfast lol. Got food came back chilled rest of the evening. Wednesday we went to the Coaster park and rode the tube slide and the roller coaster SO FUN! Then we came back got Jackie and headed to The Grand Canyon. Of course it rained when it shouldn't do it. We not happy. But we made best of it. Once we climbed up to the canyon it was cold and cloudy but the rain kinda paused. So we got a few shots several places got some souvenirs headed back. Got food and went back to relax.
5. Thursday we headed out of beautiful William to our next stop in Scottsdale. Took a few hours. We settled in. And relaxed at our new stop. Got dinner and bed. Friday we headed to Yuma. But first we went to Queen Creek to my sisters friends farm and visited with the animals. Then we went to Yuma. Got dinner at Cracker Barrel. Then back and head. On Saturday we left to come home. It was my youngest sisters birthday and we went to dinner with the family at Rubys. And that ends our vacation. Although I off today when I write this (Sunday) I go back this week on Monday sadness!
Have a blessed week. I'm back to work and such. And appointments. But look forward to days off again in the future. God Bless you :)
