AMAZING...

We're home!!!

As I am having a very hard time getting my days and nights adjusted and I have hundreds of pictures to go through....I thought that I would just post a few to get started until I have the time (and energy) to better document this incredible trip.

Riding a camel at the Pyramids...AWESOME!

The great Spinx with one of the Pyramids of Giza in the background...FASCINATING

Watching the sunrise from the top of Mt Sinai... MAGESTIC!


The Treasury in Petra! UNBELIEVABLE!

Watching another beautiful sunrise...this time from the shore of the Sea of Galilee....BREATHTAKING & a little SURREAL

Just outside the Garden of Gethsemane with the Old City in the background and 3 of my favorite people by my side....ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

The Garden Tomb ---the most BEAUTIFUL place I've ever been.

For anyone who was ever thought about going to the Holy Land and maybe been a little unsure...YOU HAVE TO GO! It was such an amazing trip! I am so thankful that we were able to go and also very thankful to be back to the comforts of home and our own bed!

Much more journaling to come....

Happy, Happy Birthday...

This post is actually about a week early, but I'm not sure that I'll have any time to post next week!

IN CELEBRATION OF ANOTHER YEAR!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BRO...35..whoa!

So you know that I am the youngest of eight kids....yep, that's alot....but Robb and I are the closest in age and have always been especially close. I started looking through all our old pictures trying to find some funny ones to post in honor of his special day and I just couldn't help but to smile. From the time we were little, we always got along, he was always so protective of me and about as nice as any older brother could ever be, even when we were teenagers. These are a few pictures of my favorite pictures...

Robbie---I hope that your birthday is fantastic and that the year ahead is your best yet!

Thanks for always being there for me!

I LOVE YOU!
