#1 Disney and Traveling
We LOVE going to Disney, but we also love seeing new places! One of the reasons we joined the Disney Vacation Club last fall is because it gives us the opportunity to do just that. Already, we've discussed the idea of visiting Hawaii in the future (I traveled there for my senior trip, but Jason's never been)! We are also taking a cruise this summer (non-Disney) with Jason's family to Alaska! This time, we will be sailing on Royal Caribbean. I am excited to return to Alaska and take in the wondrous beauty of it all. For this trip, we are planning on excursions we've never done before which include whale watching and visiting a musher's camp. I know Brayden is going to LOVE seeing the dogs! It should be an all around fun time!
Family and friend time is absolutely the best. I love being with my family and friends and spending time with them! Life is seriously so fragile - I see it every day. One thing about working in oncology is it has given me a better appreciation for LIFE and enjoying loved ones in the here and now. In the end, I want to be able to look back over my life and say that I truly took the time to appreciate my family and friends. Our loved ones bring such a richness and fullness to our lives and it's important to truly value that.
#3 Baseball
During baseball season, you can either find me at home watching a ball game or at Minute Maid Park cheering on my beloved Astros! I've been a fan since birth and love carrying the tradition over to Brayden! We also love visiting Minute Maid Park! It's almost opening day, y'all!! I'm SO excited!
#4 Volunteering
When I look back over my life, I can't remember a time that I didn't volunteer (because I truly love it that much)! At my church, I've been a volunteer with our Girls Ministries program since 2000 and once I started working in oncology in 2007, I also became a volunteer with the American Cancer Society. Over the years, I've also helped in various other areas, but these two have stuck the longest and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Giving of yourself and your time, especially with how busy life can be is truly rewarding, especially when you know you're helping to make a difference.
So, there you have it - when I'm not working or running or going to Orangetheory, those are the areas you'll find me!

I love that you mentioned volunteering - that's such a good one! I do a lot of volunteering because of my job and it's always so rewarding.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Isn't it great?!
DeleteYay Baseball! I can't wait for the season to start!
ReplyDeleteMe either! It's so soon!!
DeleteI love that you included Volunteering. I can tell that is a huge part of your life.
ReplyDeleteDid you work in a different department before you started working in oncology?
I did pediatrics for my senior preceptorship in nursing school. After graduation, I tried out several units in the hospital, fell in love with oncology, and went from there! :)
DeleteI LOVED the musher's camp I visited in Alaska. The dogs really love to run, and were barking madly while the mushers were getting them all ready.
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting! We will love that!!
DeleteWow! I don't know how you find the time to work, volunteer, and watch all that baseball. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha sometimes I don't know how I find time to do it all, either!!
DeleteThat trip to Alaska should be fun! I also sailed with Royal Caribbean on my trip to Alaska.
ReplyDeleteYOU are a busy gal! Thanks for all your volunteer service...truly remarkable!
ReplyDeleteI used to love taking my kids to Disney every year when they were younger. Now they are in college so I guess I will have to wait for grand kids now! I do love to travel with them now though!
