New York, NY

Start speading the news... ( dadada with the whole kick line and all)

SO yesterday I went to NYC. Oh it was a blast. I got to see the Lion King on Broadway. It was awesome. A dream come true. I have been allowing so many of my long term dreams come true I am not sure if I can handle this.

While in NY I came to realize how different peoples lives can be.. the different backgounds and the things that bring people together. I think it was the 4 year old on the bus trip that made me think... She was from South Dakota and was visiting her grandparents in the capital region. She was going to see Lion King with grandpa. OH was she a cutie. She got talking about her family and she was telling about her dad who flew planes and how he was on a trip right now. I am assuming this trip was one that is hard for us all to imagine... the trip to war. While I listened to the little girl talk she talked about helping her mother take care of her 5 month old brother. She then talked about her dad some more and how she loved having him tickel her. As I sat there I just thought of all the little kids all over the US right now who do not have there mom's and Dad;s because there parents are fightin in the war. Now while I think is awesome how they are serving there nation I think about the children like this little girl who are affected by this. Growing up my dad was often busy with thing on the farm but he did make it to the special events. I think about how this little girl may not have her dad for the time being but I hope he will be able to return. It kind of was Ironic how the story of the Lion King the father dies and the son goes on.. I hope and pray that this real life situation does not turn out the same for this extremly intellegent 4 year old. I will never know if he returns ok or not.. but I can at least send out some prays that he will.

So God Bless America and the fact we can live free and travel to places as exciting as NY to see shows and experience life in the city but know we can come home. God Bless All our soliders and that they help to bring freedom and also return home to their families.

God Bless...

The Bog dazs of summer

Howdy everyone,
I guess I have to find a way to write in this a bit more and keep things up to date however that is somthing I am not always good about. Now that summer is here maybe if there is any exciting news I will post some info and see what is going on in my life.

So now that school is done and I have one course down and I have been to Burlington and back I now enter July. THe month of unchartered waters. Who knows what this month will bring for me. I am sure I will have many adventures but at the same time I am sure I will be busy with all the free time I have to deal with.

Today I finished one of my first summer craft projects. I redid my fun chair. Oh it was so much fun and now I have a very nice light green sponge painted chair. I think I should just go into home decorating and photography. I guess maybe if nothing else I will use this as a gauge of what I get done this summer. Well I hope to get my puzzel I got started and done. I am working on ideas for my classroom. I get to work on bulletin board and decorating ideas. Oh the fun that is present in a summer off.

The 4th of July is here.. I think back to the two times I have not been in the US to celebrate the 4th. One year I was in Paris France at the Hard Rock Cafe and then 2nd time was this last year when I went to Australia for the Summer. The 4th was the last day we spent in Port Douglass. We went out to Hog's Breath Cafe and had a blast with the bus driver. OH the memories of July 4th past. I also recall the year I went to my friends house and we had a hudge water fight and I got water dumped over my head.. Yeah many memories and I am sure more to be created yet this year. Till next time keep on blogging and Happy 4th!

Cheers!
