Week 37 of 52 Places in 52 Weeks

Congratulations to Desiree Phillips for winning last weeks challenge and the drawing for a Starbucks gift card! You are correct.  That picture was taken in Manhattan at the roof top of my good friend Saras boyfriends Condo.  This was taken in July of this year during my first ever visit to New York.  Great view, great friends and great memories.  I can’t wait to go back!

This week went by really fast! It was a good week thought.  Kylan Had his first wrestling match last Thursday.  He made varsity in his first year of wrestling and won his first two matches! He’s very good… quick, strong and has great technique.  I’m so proud of him! I love watching my boys wrestle.  It is the one sport that I absolutely love to see them in.  Colten and Ashten start their season this Monday.  Were still not sure how it will work out with Ashten as he got his cast off today but is now in a boot for the next 3 weeks.  Hopefully his coach will let him do more cardio training in the few weeks of practice before their first match.  We shall see.

It has gotten very cold out this past week or two.  I am so not ready for Summer! I did my spoil myself a little this week and had a remote start put in my truck.  My truck is pretty big… Its a Super Crew (4 door) with a 6.5 foot bed.  That means it will not fit in the spot that is designated as mine. Davids side is a 2 car Tandem, but since he leaves early in the morning, he gets to keep his spot in the insulated garage and my truck gets to sit outside in the cold.  Ya, a remote start was a must!

I was thinking about doing Froyo this week but with the cold weather, coffee or at least a hot chocolate seems appropriate.  So i will be giving another coffee card this week worth $5.  If you guys have any suggestions on some prizes you’d like to see for the challenges, please feel free to inbox me with some ideas.  I love my coffee, so my mind always goes to that… especially in this weather!!! Well lets get on with it.  Guess the place in the picture and leave your guess in the comment section of my Facebook post that brought you here.  Another Super Prize will be coming in the weeks ahead.  Good luck!

Hint: If your unsure, research my photos 😉

Week 36 of 52 Places in 52 Weeks

Congratulations to Chelsey O’connell for winning the drawing in last weeks challenge and a Starbucks gift card! Do you have Starbucks up there in Canada? Of course you do. Starbucks is everywhere, right? lol  Anyway, you were all right.  The correct place was the Bates Motel at Universal Studios.  Universal Studios was one of our stops during our family vacation last year.  First was the Baja California Cruise to Mexico, then 2 days at Universal Studios.  It was one of the best times of my life and I’m so happy I got to share it with my boys.  Memories that will stay in my heart forever.  I cant wait for our next family vacation. The plan is for next Summer… either Puerto Rico or an Alaskan cruise.  Anyway, here is a link to Universal Studios.

Well we are about 3/4 of the way through the challenges.  And that means we are almost near the Super Prize.  As usual its been a crazy week.  As you know, Colten is in Drivers Ed.  He usually has drive time around 4:30 and then class at 6;00 till 8;00.  Kylan is in wrestling.  Practice started about a month ago and his first match is tomorrow.  Colten and Ashten start wrestling in 2 weeks.  Yup, late dinners and home will only be a place to sleep, but I’m used to it! Honestly, I’m so used to it, I don’t know what i would do if it were any other way.  It almost scares me to think about when the boys are off to college and starting there own lives… I wont know what to do with myself!! hopefully I will have tons of money so I can travel, and take the boys with me of course 😉

Ok, lets get on with this weeks challenge.  Another Starbucks coffee card will be given to the winner of this weeks drawing.  Go back to my Facebook post that brought you here and leave your guess in the comments section. This is an easy one… Just looking for the City. Good luck!
