About a month ago I won a trip to Disneyland from work. I filled out a short essay and figured it wouldn't hurt to submit it to my boss. He sent out the original e-mail explaining the offer. So this past weekend I flew to Aneheim, California for an all expense trip to enjoy Disneyland and attend the California Dental Convention. I also made some time to visit my sister Jenelle, her husband Joe and their two little boys, Sam and Evan. It was a perfect trip and I would have loved it even more if my husband could have joined me. Maybe next time! Seriously though Disneyland was tons of fun! I really did feel like a kid again and I wanted to dance around and wear a Cinderella dress! All of the little girls were dressed up like princesses with tiaras. The rides were fun (Splash Mountain, Matterhorn, Soarin', Monsters Inc. (California Adventure). Kelly (a fellow co-worker) and I enjoyed a busy afternoon and evening at Disneyland and California Adventure on Thursday. Friday we attended the dental convention, as well as Saturday morning. I then rented a car a drove about 35 minutes to Dana Point to visit my sister. We enjoyed spending the afternoon at the beach watching Joe surf while Sam ate fries and a hot dog, and Evan pooped in his diaper. Jenelle ran out of baby wipes and had to use Sam's napkins to clean his bum! I laughed pretty hard while she wiped his bum with a dry napkin. Oh the things moms have to endure! Love ya Jenelle! That night we ate at a yummy Thai food restaurant and had frozen yogurt for dessert. It was the perfect day.........thanks Joe and Jenelle! I had to leave the next morning for the LAX airport and come back to good ol' Idaho! I must say as much as I love to visit the beach I love Idaho and how small it is! I also love my baby......I always miss him when we haven't scene each other for a few days! It was a great weekend packed with good memories.

How fun! Don't tell Taylor, she's been begging to go! I bet your sister was happy to see you there.
We loved having you. Sam dug his D-land treats and is still throwing that ball around. We wished you could have stayed longer. Gotta' say, you're one incredible soul-always so much fun to be around and so good to talk to. Both Jenelle and I feel lucky to have you. Look forward to toying around in the surf with Ryan next time you're both here. - Joe
