The Weekend 5 (Sunday, September 18th 2022)

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 :) 

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, September 11th 2022)

 Welcome again. I am doing this nearly on time um go me!! How are you how was your week?

1. We been in the mist of a heat spell. An ugly one that is taking all my energy and sleep!! I slept better on Friday night then I had all week. I had the fan ON my bed with me and still it didn't help me. Most nights I woke up a lot more than I would have and it really doesn't help me much at all. I hate heat in general I am always warm so this wasn't fun at all :( boo. Then we had rain on Friday & some on Saturday from a near by tropical storm. Swear.

2. Church beautiful. I love talking to my family and friends. And free coffee was yummy. And I especially love the hugs I get and the love I feel. My church is family there is nothing else like it.

3. Work busy this week BUT I didnt work on Wednesday due to my dads birthday and yesterday (Saturday) began my 9 days off for vacation. I am using 6 days of paid time off and only one is a day off no pay. So most are gonna be paid. I dont care either way cause work is so dang stressful. Ugh. So glad to be free.

4. Tuesday we did our last beach day and much like so much in the past couple of weeks it had to have issues. I swear every day up till we leave issues. Our beach closed to put more sand on it. So :( we got food and went to a near by opening. We still had fun but not the same. Then again not having to battle rocks in the water was really nice. See ya in 2 weeks beach! 

5. I had therapy on Thursday first time in 3 weeks. I have issues I am dealing with nearly all the time. I used to think I was okay only going once a month. NOPE. I need it every two weeks heck some weeks I want it every week. And I believe God is using it to help me heal. I know its true. I am doing better then I was a year ago. That is God right there. For real.

Whelp this is our vacation. We leave today (Sunday) come back Saturday. So unsure how my one next weekend will go. Maybe I'll wait do it two weeks again in one. Shall see :) God bless. Have a good week!!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, September 4th 2022)

This is a catch up of the last two weeks so I didnt do one on August 28th for the week before it. So this is that week and the week that just passed. Sorry I been so busy and its not a fun kinda busy either :/

1. Church is beautiful. I love going to church every Sunday. Its such a blessing to go to church. I love my church family and my friends I love hugs and prayers and all that. I just love church in general :)

2. Work is busy busy. Short handed again people keep getting sick in our department and that is not making it fun especially since we dont have that many left. So my stress has been extra high. This weekend hopefully we get back some of the ones gone so we can at least be a bit more normal and calmer then we have been for over a month now

3. Did the beach on Tuesday last week and it was a fun time. The beach better. So that was a nice change. I love going to the beach. This past week on Wednesday we went to Coronado. First I had to call out of work because my other sister had a visit so we prepared for that and guess what not enough sleep. So I called out and we went to the beach instead. Fun day glad we got to do it!!

4. Got back into workouts well sorta tiny walks. I hope to be back into walks soon. I also had my endocrinologist appointment which went well on Thursday. This last Tuesday I did my cleaning for my teeth. They aren't so great cause I am not taking care of them. I really need to get back into it. Asap! Ugh! 

5. Its been 11 years since we on September 1st found we had to move from our apartment in AZ to here in Cali. A horrible 10 days of moving no idea why. I love so much about being home but some things I do miss too. Its how it is.

Whelp one more of these till vacation time. See you all then. God bless you :)
