Cinderella

Today while at Disney I was able to meet Cinderella. I've never been one to take pictures with characters at theme parks but today was different. I'm glad that Jennifer and I decided to spend a little extra to have the character dining experience at Cinderella's Royal Table. It was awesome and it made my night.

Come Fly With Me...

... let's fly, let's fly away

In the last 2 weeks Jennifer and I have planned so many travels.
You would think that we like traveling or have the funds to do so.

NC-> Florida tomorrow.
Jennifer FL-> NC Feb 22 to work a couple of days
Jennifer NC-> FL Feb 28
Disney for 24 hours- Feb 29th
Florida-> NC March 1.
NC-> Texas April 5.
Texas-> NC April 11.
Jannette hopefully getting a job somewhere during this time off.
NC-> NYC May/ June (hasn't been exactly planned to see Newsies on broadway)
NC-> Italy/Greece on Cruise maybe (for my 25th b-day- hasn't been exactly planned yet either)
NC-> Spain, France and Italy Aug/Sept 2013 on Disney cruise

I'm sure there will be more added. Hopefully not until I have a job where I can help pay for these trips. Traveling is getting expensive.

The big picture

In the past, lets say 5 years, I have made some pretty big decisions. Maybe not the biggest decisions that I will make in my life but they are big ones.

My parents are on the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to worrying. My dad is not a worrier at all and then there's my mom who is a worry-wart. I say that with as much love as I can. I feel that all 3 of us kids are somewhere along that spectrum. Jennifer seems to be more like my mom, I am usually in the middle and Jorden, I feel, doesn't really have all that many cares in the world- so more like my dad.

Maybe because of my middle ground stance on worry I kinda feel like there is a possibility of anything to occur. That's because we honestly DON'T know if something will happen in our future. Maybe I am not a realist. But we CAN'T see into our future. But there is that one person that KNOWS the whole story. From the beginning to the end. He knows how my life will pan out and what will happen and when. He knows if and when I will mess up and deviate from the path. He knows my intentions and what I truly want to do.

Maybe if I do the things that I have been taught that I am supposed to do then things will fall into place. I know that there is a path for me to follow. I just have to find that path and have faith in that path so I can end up in the right place. In the words of President Uchtdorf, "The truth is, God knows how to get there! And He has created a map for you; He knows the way. He is your beloved Heavenly Father, who seeks your good, your happiness. He desires with all the love of a perfect and pure Father that you reach your supernal destination. The map is available to all. It gives explicit directions of what to do and where to go to everyone who is striving to come unto Christ and "stand as [a witness] of God at all times and in all things, and in all places." All you have to do is trust your Heavenly Father. Trust Him enough to follow His plan."
