Job seeaarrch

Back in the arena again. I have little job, but is it even part time?! What should I do? Should I work in retail, should I be a cashier at a Pet store, should I babysit, should I be a secretary? No no no. I have been cleaning out things in my house this morning (note that I'm not at work) and I found my pile of cards from graduation. I read them all again...of course. One stuck out to me that read, "Life Lesson No. 15 - Do what you love... It's what the world needs from you...it's what you were meant to do."

Whaaaa! I found myself talking back to that card, "I know! I know! But how can I do that?!" Helpless. So do what I love huh? That narrows it down to being a famous singer, a secret FBI agent, a dolphin trainer, a hip hop back-up dancer, a hair model or a wedding planner. All different directions, all things I love. Which one of those careers is what the world needs from me? Which one was I meant to do? Which one will pay me.....ah, there's the question.

I would love to do what I love.

Valencia & Granada, Spain

Check out my facebook profile for nearly all the pictures.

Rome, Florence, Cinque Terre

Need I say more? This trip was absolutely incredible and I am so thankful for the opportunity to go. We met some fabulous people in both Spain and Italy and ate our little hearts out and walked until we could walk no more and embraced the beauty and history of God's creation!

Home Sweet America

We are back home in Manassas and will be heading to Cville tomorrow! Some highlights and photos will be added later. Vacation was gorgeous.... to say the least, but I sure miss my girls! But we are back now and ready to spend some of the summer at home.

Europa

Los dos daubertos do europa!!! We are off to Spain and Italy for 3 weeks. Keep us in your prayers (but don't hate us) for good health and safe travel. Valencia, Granada, Altea, Rome, Florence and Cinque Terre. We'll give you a taste of our trip once we get home....If I can remember how to speak english. We can't wait!

Too Feminine?

So I have no problem with loofah's (lufas? lufahs? loofa? gauze sponge?). In fact, I love them! They provide excellent exfoliation of the skin while providing a deep cleanse and moisture to the body. So as we are preparing for our summer trip, I thought that my husband should be pampered with as much spa treatment as I should. I bought him a gray loofa!

It was really hard to convince him to use it since all he ever knew was that I use a big pink one. He even tried to skip out on packing it?!?! Is there anything wrong with a man using a loofa? I think not! He'll never see another washcloth again...

How Now Shall I Pack?

My day has been consumed by the worries of travel. Oh I worked today, but my thoughts were all on how I can fit 22 pairs of underwear, 17 shirts, 5 dresses, 2 pairs of jeans, 3 skirts, 4 capris, 2 shorts, shoes, hair essentials, make-up, books, etc. into the world's smallest suitcase. Forget the stilettos! Now that I think of it, cobble-stone streets probably wouldn't entertain the heel. Not to mention this is only after packing an entirely different bag for next week's trip to Maine. Goodness gracious. The world of travel just doesn't fit the All American Girl!

But God is good and I thank Him for the opportunity to travel and the earthly possessions that cause these troubles in the first place!
