fishsticks + disneyworld

i don't even like fishsticks, really.  i actually really, really don't like them.  but for some reason, the word fishsticks is always in my head.  sometimes my head is blank and it just pops in there.  fishsticks.  there's really no explanation, it's just weird.

in other news, i just booked my flight to orlando for our disneyworld trip!  wahoo!  to say i am excited is an understatement.  i know that one day i will be overjoyed at taking children to disney parks because there is so much happiness for them.  i mean, it's the happiest place on earth!  but for now, as an adult, i.  am.  thrilled.  plus, i've been trying to convince my family that we need to go on a family trip to harry potter world for the last three years.  mission accomplished.  and you're welcome to my family for my perseverance.

also, here's a shout out to southwest airlines who fully funded my trip because i signed up for their credit card.  best.  deal.  ever.  so if you're looking for some free flights and a lovely credit card, look them up.  you'll thank me while you are finally booking your (stateside) daydream trip.  ha.  there's a little bit of free advertisement there for you, southwest.

also, there's a trip to the grand canyon happening next month.  that, my friends, is one place i've always wanted to go!  so in preparation for our grueling 18 mile hike, jess and i are doing little hikes.  you know, to prep ourselves.  (as much as we can, of course)  so this weekend we hiked up this trail in pleasant grove, battle creek falls.  who knew there would still be snow?!


we did not, obviously.  but the mountain man who passed us as we determined how to cross the creek?  he did.  he came on the hike in waders.  and just hopped right across that creek.  splashing, even.  we used the rocks.  we did not splash.

day 1.

today is the first.  the first of oh so many blog posts.  because really, who doesn't want to read all about my life?!  i mean, i think it's pretty great, but i'm a little biased.  i will say this, i've been told once or twice that i'm fairly funny.  but then again, some people are really super nice.

mostly i just decided i wanted to start a blog.  why?  eh, i have no idea.  but it came into my head, and i can't get it out.  so here i am.  getting it out of my head.

be.  ready.
