Disneyland Vacation Update

Hello. Cameron here posting on Betsy’s behalf since it wasn’t practical for both of us to head out in search of decent wifi.

As the previous sentence might suggest, we’ve had a bit of a headache finding a decent wifi connection from the hotel room. Fortunately, my trek didn’t require me to go any further than the hotel lobby, for now. I’m still only getting pretty weak signal here, but at least it’s stable enough.

Once we find a better connection (which we will, I promise), we’ll post more (including pictures). In the mean time, if you want to follow us using an abbreviated all-text version of our progress, you can check out http://www.twitter.com/watters. I’ve been posting activity updates via SMS during our entire trip.

We’ve been having a great time so far and look forward to sharing stories and photos with everyone just as soon as we’ve got a better Internet connection. It’s 2007. What kind of hotel doesn’t

Perfect

dress1.jpgEveryone who knows me, knows I hate getting dressed up. I don’t like wearing dresses — never have, even when I was a little girl! The only times I have ever actually felt like myself in a dress was my wedding day — I also didn’t mind getting dressed up for Sara’s wedding. I will admit, having a dress that is custom fitted to you definitely helps. Anyway, with Holly’s wedding quickly approaching the anxiety about finding a dress began to come over me. Sara and I went shopping about a month ago and found a dress that would work for the occasion. I didn’t love it, but I was sure that finding a dress that I loved was out of the question. At least I had something and I could stop stressing over it. Holly and Shane came up to Bellingham for the weekend and it just so happened that Holly brought a dress with her that I could check out to see if it would be something I would want to wear to the wedding. It was PERFECT! Totally what I would have picked if I knew it existed. It is very pretty and more importantly, very comfortable. Yeah Holly! She should be a personal shopper!

The next dilemma– SHOES!! We (the girls in my family) were blessed (I mean cursed) with having what my dad calls “Fred Flintstone feet”. Cute, little, delicate and dainty shoes are not our friends (although occasionally it can be pulled off if you are willing to totally sacrifice comfort). I set out last week to find shoes to go with my workable, yet not lovable dress and practically came home in tears!! It was not a happy trip. There are lots of strappy, cute sandals out there right now but nothing I would want to wear ALL day long at Holly’s wedding. I think I must have tried on 20-30 pairs of shoes. I gave up for that day. shoes1.jpg
Yesterday Heather and I went shopping for her dress for Holly’s wedding. We found a dress she loved and then thought we would look for shoes again. I found the PERFECT shoes at Journey’s — and the best part was they were the very last pair, my size and on clearance for $19.99!! Miracles do happen! I know it may sound funny, but I am incredibly relieved. I am actually delighted that I have not only a dress that I love but now shoes too. I can leave for Disneyland knowing that I won’t have to come home and frantically search at the last minute for wedding attire. Happy Day!Heartbreakers movie download The New Guy download

Mother's Day

mothers-day.jpg

Being a mom is my favorite! I love my boys and I am so thankful to be their mom. Cam does such a good job modeling for them how to honor and appreciate me. I love my new red teapot — thanks boys!

We love our moms and grandmas! Happy Mother’s day!

10 days!

disney-scrap-stuff.jpg

This is my collection of Disneyland scrapbook materials. I think I will wait until after our trip to put the book together. I like the vintage Disney ephemera- I’d like to find more stuff like that. I am getting more excited with each passing day! It occurred to me the other day that I will be flying home alone with the boys!! That kinda freaks me out. I have never flown by myself, much less had to be responsible for other people. I am sure it will be fine and the boys will be awesome.

Cam is getting excited for his road trip with Kelly. I think he’s putting together a soundtrack. I am hoping that Cam has remembered where he grew up in California more fondly than he ought to have and he’ll get over his pining- or the reverse could happen and it will increase his desire to want to live there again someday. I bet they will have a lot of stories when they get home.

It will be so nice for us to get away and get a chance to focus on having fun with our little family. We (Cam and I) sometimes struggle with the playing/having fun part of parenting. We are both oldest kids and play doesn’t come really naturally to either of us. The climate of our house is a bit too serious at times. I’m so glad that the boys (Caleb in particular) continue to teach us how to be silly. It seems that sometimes it takes removing all the everyday distractions to recognize where your true priorities are. I feel like our kids are growing up so fast and we sometimes take for granted how much time we have with them. They love us now and think we are great (especially when we make fools of ourselves for the sake of having fun). They actually want to hang out with us- in a few short years they likely will be embarrassed by everything about us (just like our poor parents had to endure). So, my hope and prayer is that this trip would be #1 a blast, #2 an opportunity to examine our priorities and #3 create wonderful memories– something we can praise and thank God for.
