Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for:

Well, again...TRAVELING.

After leaving my sister's home on Sunday, we made our way across....

Germany,

Austria,

and Czech Republic.

The ability to drive freely across the country borders is something that I found hard to believe.

{Plus, I was really hoping to get some new stamps in my passport.}  :)

Once I return back to good ol' Iowa, I will try to recap my trip.
I know I won't do it justice...but I will try. 

If any of you are interested in traveling pretty much anywhere in Europe, I know of a great gal who could be for hire as your tour guide!  Gina [and Jay] and her friend Delila will get you wherever you need to go.  :)

Being in Europe, today was like any other day.  We had no turkey, mashed potatoes, greenbean casserole, etc.  I sure did miss it...but not enough to miss out on this trip.  There will always be another Thanksgiving next year.  :)

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

These Boots Will Travel

Maybe they are in Germany with me now. 

And maybe they will also travel to Austria and Czech Republic.

:)

Every Which Way

I'm still here...just haven't had time to blog much. Life has been taking me every which way possible. Kid wrangling, crafting, traveling for work, going to head back to the farm after a trip next week, and then eventually Thanksgiving.

Recap of traveling....There's nothing like going to the same resort twice within two weeks time. I was there this past Friday through Sunday, and will be going there again this coming Sunday through Wednesday. Check out Pheasant Run Resort. Last weekend, my program took 28 students to a Student Leadership Conference. There were almost 500 students there, and about 100 or so staff members. I think 2 nights of not going to bed until 1am or later was enough for me for the year. I don't know how I use to be able to do it. The upcoming trip back there will be for our professional conference. We have meetings, lots of various break out sessions, and more meetings. But it's always fun to catch up with people I haven't seen since a year ago.

This time back there, I'm hoping to take a better job of getting some pictures. There are some neat parts of the hotel that I wanted to take pics of, just ran out of time or forgot.

In the meantime, when I have the time, I hope to get some more coasters made, as well as some other projects I have rolling around in my head. I finally picked up a little notebook for me to write down all my ideas and to paste in any inspiration pictures. I'm thinking this little book will be great for me, to organize my thoughts and ideas. But first up with the book...I need to jazz it up a bit. It's a sketch pad, so has a blah cover.

So until next time, I hope you all are doing well and you are enjoying what life brings to you today...not putting anything off until tomorrow.

God bless!
