Number 51...Oh the magic♥

Number 51 is Go to Disney World/Land with Mark.

We on our 17 day drive from the East Coast to the West Coast we had a chance to go to Disney Land in California. I know what you are thinking. That was two months ago, why are you just now posting about it. We have been super busy trying to get unpacked and get acquainted with the area. So rewind two months ago:) We also went to California Adventure. Although we did have a lot of fun I will admit I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't the magic I remember. It was still fabulous. We had so much fun visiting Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto. We couldn't find many of the characters and to Little Mans disappointment we couldn't find Donald Duck. There were several times that I had the magic feel though. We stayed from 3 days. I'm going to make this into a two part blog. This one will be for the pictures and sometime in July I will post about our experience and tips and what I learned. So get ready for a picture rush;) Okay well 8:) These are my favorites!!!

As you can tell I liked to stick Little Lady in things:) And I love that not only did they hid Mrs. Potts and Chip from Beauty and the Beast in the Tarzan movie, they also hid them in the Tarzan Treehouse. Just a Disney tidbit from a Disney freak, haha. You can see the Tree house behind the 4 of us. We had so much fun. Keep on the lookout for part two in July. Till then

Life at 22.

If we were to go back say 7 years when I was 15 and you were to tell me that by the time I was 22 I would be married with 2 kids and living in Washington. I would probably laugh in your face! Don't get me wrong, I always knew I would have kids. I've always wanted kids, definitely not so soon but I did want them. I wouldn't change a thing. We will still be young when the kids are grown. By the time our youngest is 18, I will only be 40! That is still young! Husband and I can still travel the world if we want to, we could get a boat   or whatever we are admiring at that time! I love my life. Life at 22 is absolutely perfect! My kids are healthy and happy. I have an amazingly great marriage. So far we are loving Washington! It's perfect for us here. And that in a whole, is the best birthday present this girl could ask for:)

Number 25-2

Number 25 is to try 50 new recipes! This will be dish two! Have I mentioned I LOVE using my crock pot! And yes I am going to do the crock pot challenge but I'm going to modify it and make it my own. Today's recipe was Teriyaki Chicken!  I actually got double the recipe and as I was throwing everything in the crock pot I was also throwing everything in a gallon zip lock bag and then I threw that in the freezer for a later meal. That's what my challenge will be about, but I'll save that for a later post! The Teriyaki Chicken consists of chicken, carrots, pineapple, onions , and garlic! It's super super simple!
