HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!

Today is our 2nd anniversary. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by! I can honestly say that I married my best friend and I am eternally grateful for him.

We had the best day ever! The weather was perfect, the words that were spoken to us were amazing and we had such a wonderful day. It was like we were the only 2 people there that day and it was OUR day! We did have a few minor incidents in the elevators in the Temple but they were quickly resolved. But make for great stories!

Here are just a couple of my favorite pictures from our PERFECT day!

Same Name!

So, I was out today just going to different blogs and I noticed that someone had a link to someone named Shanda...I had to check it out....Anyway on her site she had a link to a web site of "How Many of Me" so I want to see just how many Shanda's were out there. It appears that there are 9,129 with the name of Shanda and 57,815 who have the last name of Johns - of those there are 2 of us that have the same name..man are we lucky girls! Anyway you will have to check it out for yourself at "howmanyofme.com"

P.S. The shoes came in last week and I LOVE THEM! They are so comfy - I may just have to buy another pair so when they wear out I won't have the same trauma!

We are officially booked!

I know it is hard to imagine but I LOVE ANYTHING DISNEY!!!! Two weeks ago Johns parents asked us if we would like to go to Florida with them in September...UUUMMMM - we had to think about that for about 1/2 of a second and of course we said YES!!!! Is there any other answer? HELLO! Plus Johns will be able to use his super cool new camera! Love it!!!

Anyway, their 40th wedding anniversary is next month and they wanted to take a trip. After many "where should we go's" it was decided they wanted to go to Florida. I think that our job is the drivers, but that is OK as long as I don't hit another Armadillo! Yes, I am still having flashback nightmares about that poor creature that I hit and Johns informed me that it was OK because the Alligators that came out at night would just EAT IT!!!! I digress...

Here is why I LOVE it so much. In Disneyland/World there is no crime (well that you know of), there are no bad people - you can just sit in line and talk to whoever is around you, you are always in a good mood, you are with other people that make you happy (specifically for me Johns - the husband), it is fun and last but not least it is the one of only a few places you can go and just not have to worry about anything else.
SEPTEMBER COME QUICK!!!!!!!!! HURRICANES STAY AWAY!

Cue the Shoe Choir

The Problem - no singing choir yet....
You know when you find that perfect, comfy, easy to wear pair of shoes and you buy a pair thinking when they wear out you can buy another one - well for a couple years I have been able to do that, actually last time I found them I bought 2 pair on clearance not thinking that they would not bring them back. I mean I found a them at Kohl's and at Payless so why wouldn't one of them have them again? I am not like that Magic Emporium guy that bought like 200 pair of shoes (and no I won't die without the shoes)....So, I started looking for a new pair, well apparently they don't make them any more! I have search Google, Ask Jeeves and anything else that I could think and and NO SHOES!

Well I was starting to panic because I am one for comfort more than anything and I could not find anything that did not make my feet look like I had clown shoes on, ones that I would have to wear socks with because my legs are so short I looked like I had stubby legs, ones that just covered my toes (yuck) or ones that covered my entire foot! I know, I know I am PICKY!!!!


THIS IS WHERE THE CHOIR STARTS TO SING!!!!
Last night Johns and I were at Kohl's and I found a cute pair of slip on Sketchers that you don't' have to wear socks with, but I can were my peds since I won't wear shoes without socks, they go to about the middle of my foot so they cover more than my toes - however, they were white...not my color for shoes. So, I came home Googled "Sketchers Grapevine" and I found them!
Plus ordering through shoebuy.com I got free shipping AND 10% off AND an extra $5.00 off because I was a return shopper! See why the choir is singing - or is that just Johns because I will stop crying that I can't find shoes? Anyway, I ordered them and they should be here in about a week! Oh Happy Shoe Shopping Day!!!!
