Advents Corner

I really like to cook and one of the things I wish I had done was gone to one of those culinary arts schools. I would love to be able to go to school and learn all of the neat things you can do with food. Matt tells me I should just do it but I don’t know. I have been looking around at them and found that no matter where you leave you can find a school close to you.

Maybe when we move out to California and I am looking for a career change I can try my hand at culinary arts school. I really like to cook and I love to try new recipes so think I would be great to broaden my knowledge. I don’t know if I would want to work in a restaurant or not but I think I would be awesome to be able to have the chance to. I always tell Matt that if we get rich one day and I do not have to worry about money I would like to work in a soup kitchen or something just volunteering. I guess I should just do what I want with what I have and not wait for the perfect conditions to come along because we all know if you wait for the perfect moment you will be waiting forever. Sometimes you just have to jump in and do it.

We took Lani to Great Explorations this weekend, which is a children’s hands on museum in St. Pete.  I would not call it is museum, I would say it was more like a hands on activity place.  She loved it and so did we.  Her favorite thing to do was slide down the fireman’s pole.  It was really neat.  They had different rooms with different “jobs”.  You could be a fireman, a tv personality, a musician, a vet and many other things.  She loved the fact that she could just run around without Mom and Dad telling her to come here.  It is really set up as kid friendly and they are able to just be a kid.  Also, great tree house for them to climb in.

One of the things we need to do for the trip is buy memory for all of the cameras. I am sure we are going to take so many pictures. Matt is going to bring his laptop so we can empty our cameras at night but I am sure we are all going to need at list 2 memory cards for our cameras and we all have a digital camera we are taking with us.

Every year our family does secret Santa and un-birthday gifts at Christmas time. We do that because we are not close to each other during the year for birthdays so at Christmas time we basically take care of everything at once. This year I got Uncle Ron and he is an avid golfer and a UF fan so I got him a UF hat and brushed golf tees. I have been keeping my ears open when I am around all of the golfers in the family this year for gift ideas for next year and I have a couple. One for instance I have been hearing them talk about an Ogio backpack or the Sweet Spot finder which is what we got dad for Christmas. I am always on the look out for ideas.
