Top 2 Tuesday... Dream Houses

Taylor picked one of my favorite topics for this week's Top 2 Tuesday

DREAM HOUSES

 I would love to live by the beach in this house

(HGTV Dream Home in Islamorada)

But this would be my main home...

(this house is actually for sale, you can buy it from here)

located on plenty of acres perfect for all my horses!

It would also include a gourmet kitchen, like this from HGTV's webstie

and a backyard entertaining area, complete with a pool like this

Wishful Wednesday!

It's Wishful Wednesday again over at The Seatle Smith's

'I wish' .... I could go back and spend one day working at a job from my youth, and it would be a lifeguard at WildWaters Waterpark!

 I loved that job! It was seriously the coolest job I've every had. I got to ride waterslides and hangout in the sun. After my first year I got to be a RA (ride attendant) I was that gal that sat at the top. You know the one that says, "Lay down, cross your arms & legs, keep you hands & feet inside the flume at all times and GO!" all in one breath! It was the best rotation because you got to slide down the slide to go to the next ride and would have to do ride checks before the park opened. I worked with my best friend and a group of people that I'm still friends with. One of the guys now manages this park. We used to have after-hours guard parties and would goof of and ride down this (see picture) slide by sitting on a food tray-haha, so not safe!

I love waterparks, and working at one was the best experience. I'm a better swimmer because of all the trainning we did, and still CPR/AED certified (I even have my First-Aid hip pack still with the breathing apparatus). I will tell you that because of this, I can beat anyone down those slides you race the other people... the key is to arch your back! :)


What job will you never forget, good or bad, and tell us why! Remember to link up at Kelsey's

Wordless Wednesday: Old Capitol Building

(pretty good phone picture if I do say so myself, I took it as I was walking back to my office)

Wordless Wednesday: Easter

Almost Wordless Wednesday :)

I always remember taking pictures with our neighbors for Easter.

Easter 2007

John (my brother), Jonathan (my neighbor), Me, Brian (my neighbor)

Easter 2006

Brian (neighbor) and Me

We are like family, we grew up together, we spend holidays with them (both our extended families are out of town). 2007 is the last year we took a group picture.  Brian emailed me to tell me we should be able to take one this year, and I'm really excited that we will all be 'home' to bring this tradition back :)

When I go home this weekend I will find the Easter pictures of us from back before digital cameras and add them too.
