Hi My Name is...

Hi, my name is Emily and I like to eavesdrop.

When my hubby and I are out and about, I often check out of our conversation and seem to naturally tune into other people's conversations.  But, I do eventually return to my husband who has a confused look on his face and says, did you just check out?  

Why yes, yes I did. 

While out for breakfast over the weekend we were sitting down eating when a couple of middle age, tourist type looking women walked in with their fanny packs, sweatpants, and tennis shoes. 
There was a large much older man on his way out that was staring at them saying whoa look at all these beautiful women!

I laughed out loud and said to my confused hubby, it doesn't matter how old, or how out of place a woman might feel, it ALWAYS feels good to hear you look beautiful.

So then he says, do I tell you often enough that you're beautiful?

  

Why yes, yes you do.

 

 The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched they must be felt with the heart.

On a Mission

My hubby wanted to stroll down memory lane by going to the San Gabriel mission.

It's a California thing to do a project in the 4th grade about a California mission, so it was us and a bunch of kids and parents going around taking photos and collecting ideas for their next project. It was funny!

He made a model of the Santa Barbara mission back in the day.

I remember reading Lord of the Flies, and staying up late the night before trying to finish my project. I think my mom just finished it for me. She's really creative, thanks mom! shhh, don't tell Mrs. Patterson.

What was your 4th grade project?
