New York New York!

One day we were thinking about travel and vacation. My parents figured it would be crazy not to go to Paris with the apartment my grandparents had and the fact that my dad hadn't been for so long. We started looking up flights and we ended up with 4 tickets to New York. I wasn't sure how we went from France to NYC, but I was so excited to be going!! It was very spur-of-the-moment and actually Freestone will be going to Paris for his 10-year-old trip! So Ruby and I started saving for the trip and thinking about what it would be like. This is Day 1....
The airport

Our flight was a red-eye; leaving at 12 am and arriving at 6 am! The view from the plane was amazing with all the sparkling lights and skyscrapers. We got to our hotel, the Intercontinental and were pleasantly surprised to find they already had the room ready for us.The room was so pretty and the hotel was super nice!

We set our luggage down and headed immediately for the Statue of Liberty. We took a ferry that traveled past it and we took tons of pictures and laughed when it started pouring rain. We got off at Ellis Island and stayed in the museum for awhile. The Statue of Liberty was smaller, but prettier than I expected. It was really cool.

Cute!

Sisters!

Where immigrants would come to become citizens

 Then we went to the hotel and took a nap. I obviously really needed one:)

After our power nap we headed to Junoon to dine for restaurant week. They had Indian food and it was delicious but spicy!
We saw Juilliard!

Times Square! :)

My first Broadway show!
We were lucky enough to get to see Mary Poppins on Broadway! It was amazing! The costumes, actors, choreography, everything! In the scene where they go to the park and Bert's drawings come alive, the statues in the park start dancing and talking. It was funny and they were amazing dancers! My favorite song was Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! The costumes were super bright and happy and the dancing was so fun and it's such a feel-good song! :) I LOVED it!

What a fabulous first day!:)

HOLIDAYS

I was so happy the Mijatovic family came to visit! Even though we're not related my blood, we're family! My lovely grandparents The newlyweds invited us and their friends to see the lights at Temple Square, then enjoy some pie and hot cocoa at their adorable apartment, conveniently located right by the temple. Such fun! Thanksgiving with the Siskins ....And everybody else ;)

The world is big. It can be scary. It can be a lot of things, a lot of adjectives because well, it's the WORLD. But there is so much  good  in it. Make it your mission to notice the good in every day life. One thing that you can count on is the sun. It rises, it's warm, it gives light. Things we need. Things that are good, life sustaining, bright. Happiness is not a side affect of a perfect life. Waiting to be happy is just plain silly. Happiness wants to come into your life, in fact, it already has, so acknowledge and befriend it. Make it deeper and better with gratitude, consistence and effort. The good in the world is apparent and abundant, just like happiness. Focusing on the good doesn't mean we ignore the sad stuff going on, refuse to ever watch the news, or be ignorant of pressing matters around the world. It just means that you cling to hope, never give up, fight discouragement and let the good into your life. Let the good in, put some good out, let light radiate fr...
