Tag... I'm it!

My aunt Rita tagged me- so I am going to answer the questions she had:


1. Do you have a "bucket list"? Not really a bucket list- but there are some things that I have in mind that I would like to do at least once in my life.


2. If so, what is at the top? Visiting Israel- I would love to see places that I read of in the Bible.


3. What news story stood out from those you heard today? That Miss USA won Miss World.


4. What are you most thankful for this year? Family. It has been a ROUGH year but I am so thankful that my family is ALWAYS there for each other and willing to help each other out.


5. What small thing always makes you happy? When my husband makes the bed for us right before he goes to work.


6. What is your favorite old movie? Miracle on 34th Street.


7. Was there a surprise in your day? YES big one. Poor Paul got up at 4:00 am vomiting and with diarrhea. He is in bed sleeping and trying to get better.


Now I am supposed to come up with seven different questions and tag seven people, which I always hate doing. And you are not obligated to participate. And if I don't tag you, you can grab the questions and play along, or answer them in the comments!


Here are my questions:

1. What is your favorite holiday and why?
2. Where did you go on your last vacation?
3. What do you enjoy doing on your free time?
4. What is your favorite Bible verse?
5. Have you ever been to Las Vegas if so what did you think?
6. What is your favorite easiest recipe that people really enjoy when you make?
7. What do you like most of your occupation?


I'm tagging the following people:


Elizabeth Williams - Zizzie Happenings

Aunt Linda- Grandma's page

Tesa Goossen- The cookie mom

Dad Hoyt- Comments from the corner

Rosalyn Hoyt- Hanging with the Hoyts

Elizabeth Houston (just leave your answers on comments)

Thank you for reading and participating... This sure was fun!
Thanks Aunt Rita for tagging me!

Update

What a weekend... but let me back up a bit. We made it home earlier than expected. Our original plans were to get home Friday, however we decided that rather than stay an extra day in Flagstaff- just to head home after going to the Grand Canyon. We arrived safe and sound. God was VERY good to us keeping the weather really pleasant and the traffic bearable. Friday we got Lizzies room ready. Saturday the pod arrived- and even though we had a small hiccup with the Pod (we needed a street permit in order to park the pod in front of our house) the driver was gracious and allowed it to stay as long as we signed a waiver stating that if we got fined we would have to pay the fine. We spent the next hour unloading the pod and filling my garage with all of Lizzies stuff. After that chore- we were spent.... we took a nap to rest for the night we had planned ahead. We went to dinner and then I was able to get comp tickets to see Cher (one of my Aunts favorites artists). The concert was very loud and very unique- however my aunt had a GREAT time and that is all that really mattered to us.
Today we took her around Las Vegas for the sights and then we came home to relax.
We played cards, played Guitar Hero on the WII... What a blast. SO much in such a short time... Making memories which is the BEST part of all. MANY photos to follow.
Signing off for now.... Big day ahead - back to work :-(

Traveling

Well, we are in Albuquerque New Mexico... God has been good to us. We have had Great Traffic and wonderful weather. It has been a good time together as girls.
Looking forward to getting home though- Missing my honey!
More to come in the next few days.
