Epic Road Trip - Hits #35 Out of the Park!

In August we made an epic journey across the USA for our 2-week family vacation. This trip accomplished goal #35 in grand fashion. Among the new cities we visited: 

**Colonial Williamsburg

**Washington D.C.

**Pittsburgh, PA

**Hoboken, NJ

**Louisville, KY

**St. Louis, MO

We had an amazing time! It was the boys' first time to visit Memphis, New York City, and Hershey, PA as well. Definitely a trip to remember! 

There's Within My Heart a Melody... (#26 realized)

This past Christmas, I was blessed to play a role in the children's Christmas musical production. I played the role of "Miss Grace", a paralyzed woman with a sweet spirit who reads the Christmas story to the children. As part of this role, I sang a solo/duet. It was an incredible experience to both act and sing on stage. But the thing that made this role and this song so special is that it gave me the opportunity to share the story of Jesus and His power to transform lives. 

(I must confess I was scared to death to do this. Ironically, the singing made me more nervous than the speaking/acting roles!)
