Ally and her latte moments
This is so beautiful. I have always wanted to visit Scotland and seeing pictures like this only make me want to go there that much more. I showed this to my mother and she has suggested a trip with just her and I, so we can go enjoy vistas like this one at our leisure. I think that sounds like a wonderful idea.
I was just invited to the Summer Olympics in London. I am so excited. I talked to my mom and she has agreed to keep the kids for two weeks so that I can go. Who could turn down and all expense paid trip to London. My best friend is taking me with her parents. They rented London Apartments for various family members and when someone who was already paid for couldn’t go, I got the tickets. This is going to be amazing. The London Apartments they rented are centrally located so that we will be in thick of everything we want to do.
It was really smart of them to do this the way they did. Almost her whole family is going, so that is why they rented London Apartments. It is cheaper all the way around and the hotels were all full so this worked out great. I know that we are going to have a blast. I will be so happy to see all of the places that I have read about in the history books and novels. I know that I am going to want to go back again some day too.
Gosh I found the most beautiful little sea side community down in the Florida pan handle. It’s called NatureWalk at Seagrove. It is right on the Gulf of Mexico and the beaches are like pure white snow. I know I will probably not move that far away from my family, but when I went down there to pick up some supplies I needed, I just had to look. My kids would love Nature Walk. It’s one of those gated communities that has it’s own recreation center with two pools.
My parents keep talking about retiring to Florida one day. I brought back some pamphlets of Nature Walk at Seagrove for them to look at. Mom fell in love with it just from reading about it and what I told her. She grilled me on everything. Dad was a little more reserved, but he did like it as well. I think we might go back down together to have another look.
Gosh I have been too busy lately. I cannot wait for summer to get here so I can have some really good R & R. I want a full week with no getting up at the crack of down to get kids ready for school and packing lunches etc… I am so glad that school is almost over. The hectic schedule tends to get to you about half way through the year and by the end of the school year, you are ready to jump ship almost. I am so at that point.
Things are looking up so far for this year and I am fabulously happy. Spring is here, the weather is awesome and I am so ready for summer to get here as well. All that I need is for the water to warm up, so we can swim in the river and boating season will be in full swing. I just want to put on my bathing suit and chill in the sun four days on end, and I intend to as soon as humanly possible. We are almost there.
I love to read. It is something I have passed on to my children as well. They get good grades in school because I made sure they liked to read and encourage them as much as humanly possible. it is definitely paying off for them. I cannot help but to love reading. As a child it took me places and still does that I know I will probably never get to visit. It makes me feel as if I have been there.
I am so jealous. My best friend is going to Le Village Arc 1950 on a ski trip with her new boyfriend. I had never heard of it before, so I looked it up to see where it was. It is so beautiful. I am saving all my research on it in the hope that I can go there too one day. The Les Arcs Accommodation she found are absolutely amazing. I didn’t realize that there were places like that in France for skiing. When I think about skiing over there, I think about Switzerland.
I am looking around for Apartments in Les Arcs myself. Then I just might show them to my honey and see what he says about a trip there. He really likes to take trips and has been talking about a short European trip for the two of us. I think he will be pleased with just such a trip as this. I am crossing my fingers that he likes it.
I want to see the Olympics so badly. This year they are being held in London, England. Have you ever wanted to visit London? I know I have always wanted to go there. London apartments are the best way to visit. I don’t really like to go to hotels as they are too noisy. The comfort of an apartment is much better then anything else. I can cook my own food and save money, so I can buy more souvenirs to bring home for the family.
Do you want to visit London for the 2012 Olympics? I am seriously thinking about going. My mother called me last night to tell me about it and said she was interested in going but dad doesn’t want to. She suggested she and I rent a London apartments for the two of us and take a mother daughter trip. She said that my Uncle Mike goes there on frequent business trips and uses London apartments instead of a hotel as his stays are usually lengthy and he prefers his privacy. I am crossing my fingers that we can go on this trip together. The kids can spend the summer with their father, so I wont have to worry about that.
My boyfriend has decided to take us on one of the Whistler ski holidays I haven’t been skiing since I was a kid. This is going to be so much fun and I get a break from the kids and everyday life for a few days. My mom is going to come and stay with the kids while we are gone and has planned a bunch of activities to keep them occupied. That way they get to have fun as well.
Whistler ski accommodation have so much to choose from and we are going to pick ours out tonight when he comes to visit. We can also get discount whistler lift tickets by buying online. I am so excited I can barely sit still. A nice romantic vacation just for he and I is exactly what we need. I love spending time with him and I love that he is willing to go all out to spend quality alone time with me. Have a great day everyone. Mine is awesome already.
My best friend is moving to Los Angeles, California. I am going to miss her so very much. Her husband is being transferred with his job and the pay raise is worth the move for them. So of course we are looking for Los Angeles movers to help with her move. This is going to be so hard watching her leave. We have never lived very far from each other our entire lives. LA movers will be the ones doing their move when the time comes.
I think I will throw a big going away party for them and invite all of our friends and family. Thankfully we have had a mild winter and seem to be continuing that way. This enables me to pick a nice weekend and have the party out of doors complete with BBQ and maybe a game of softball like we love to do during the summer time. I have to do it before the Los Angeles moving company comes though and that is not very far away. so I have to pray for the rain to go away and stay away for a while.
