My short trip home is already halfway over, but so far it's been great. Lots of shopping (woohoo!) and an entertaining trip to the casino on Halloween. I'm sorry I didn't get any pictures but my phone was next to dead. Right now Andy is auditioning for the Seattle Symphony, so I'm not sure what else will be in store for us this trip, but regardless, it's just been nice to get away from responsibilities and relax. :-)
Now onto the prompt for the day. What are the best gifts I've ever received? Here are some of my most memorable gifts (in no particular order)...
1) My dog Cookie! One year I looked over the banister of the stairs and saw a little puppy face peeking out of a box. I don't have a picture of her handy, but she was a black and white lhasa apso/long-haired chihuahua and she was pretty cute.
2) A flying lesson! My parents bought me a flying lesson for one of my birthdays and it was soooo much fun. For those of you that do not know, I wanted to be a pilot/astronaut for many many years.
3) A trip to Vegas! My graduation present from Eastman was my first trip to Las Vegas. We got to stay at the Mandalay Bay (my favorite hotel based on all of the travel channel shows I had watched). Turns out I LOVE Las Vegas and have thankfully been back a few more times!!
Seriously though, this list could go on forever. I've gotten a lot of amazing gifts... my car, my engagement ring, my saxophones... basically everything I own. But as cheesy as this sounds, my best gift is my life. I have awesome parents, Andy Man, great friends, and I've had a zillion opportunities to do some really cool things. Lucky me. :-)
Oh yay, so Andy got an audition?! I hope he gets it! Have fun in Washington!
