    • my shoes are bringin me home today
      • ahh...I love shoes. I think they are the one thing that I could have an entire closet full and still want to buy more. Right now, I am wearing my brown sketcher 'boots'. I put them in parenthesis since they are "real" boots (though I have those too. These are the shoes I put on when I'm feeling a little more country but being that I am living in the city, walking around in my Ariats isn't...well kosher (at least to me). I always pair them with a good pair of jeans and a comfy shirt (today a army green tank). It is the "down home comfort" that reminds me of my roots and always makes me feel good.

    • Oh, to be in Costa Rica
      • My husband was in charge of several items for our wedding this past November. One was the DJ (who came in under budget and surpassed our expectations) and then the honeymoon. After searching around, Kyle decided on Costa Rica.

        Costa Rica in November is perfect. It rained late afternoons so it was cool in the evenings but sunny during the times you wanted to go on adventures. We stayed at two resorts (since it was our honeymoon after all) named Xandari and Peace Lodge. They were both wonderful. Xandari is a working farm so there were always fresh assortments of fruit as well as classic Costa Rican dishes.
        Both locations had trails to phenomenal waterfalls and beautiful views of the mountains we were in. We even went on a zip line through the rain forest that was one of the best highlights of the trip.
        Costa Rica is perfect because it is the perfect mix of rest and relaxation with adventure around every corner. The people are as kind as they could possible be and always very friendly and patient with our broken Spanish. Truth be told, the next chance I get, I'll be on a plane to visit again!

    • I dress to impress in my heels
      • The occasion can vastly change the outfit and if I am looking for THE outfit to impress...well, it can be determined by the shoes I wear.


        high heeled shoes.

        I have several "power suits" that I can whip out for a savvy business deal paired with a mean black stiletto. Or if the occasion is to make my husband remember why he thinks I am beautiful, a little dress with some show stopping, brightly colored heels are more than adequate. Personally, it is all determined in the shoes and accessories.

    • A million to children and missions.
      • There are several organizations that I work with and know that they could utilize the money for a greater purpose. For example, Samaritan's Purse (they help in a number of different charities from sending shoe boxes filled with gifts to children to finding new hearts for people in third world countries who would otherwise die). Another group is Compassion International. My husband and I support 2 children through them (one in Guatemala, the other in El Salvador) and the opportunity to give children a better life is hard to pass up.
        Outside of those, I would donate a large portion to my parents. Not as a "pay back" for what they have done (I would never be able to reach a high enough amount) but to fund their calling of creating a "get-away" for missionaries and pastor's on furlough as well as expanding an educational program to teach people the importance of agriculture and ways to create their own food sources. They in themselves are a worthy investment.
        Ultimately it is all to the kingdom of God and I would try to honor him with the gift of the million dollars, wherever it came from.
