Just a few clips from our Monday night.  Hope yours was a good one too!

Highlights from the featured film:

– Brooke shows off how smart she is by showing me where her eyes, toes, hair and fingers are (ps she prefers to wear her headbands like a crown).

– Brooke is already a sprinter.  She loves to tap grandma on the leg and give high fives.

– Moon, mountains and my favorite song to listen to while I am driving.  You can find it here!

-Just relaxin at Mountain West Burrito.

-My grilled veggie salad of goodness with my SIL.

-Ice cream cones for the kiddos.

-Wheels on the bus… don’t make fun of my voice… it will bring back some of my bad memories from 1st-10th grade.  

-Froyo and the Bachelor (yes, I am embarrassed that I watch that show and it drives me crazy) with Paige and her mom.

-Some of the family working on my nephew’s science project late at night.  Procrastination runs in our family.  

-I don’t want this book to end.  

Fill in the blank:

If you had a million dollars right this second and you had to spend it all today, you would buy ________ ,  ____________ , ________ , _________ (just one thing or lots of things… it is up to you).

My Monday was a busy fun day. I made Mexican lasagna which is always delicious!
If I had a million dollars I would save 900,000 and spend 100,000 on a trip to Europe. :)

Receipts for medical bills, new flooring & a kitchen for our ocean home, paint & stain to refinish tabled & a dresser, a new greenhouse & supplies, a few benches, receipts for county improvement bills, & a gift certificate for a few night at a B &B.

Reality is that it will all be done in time, so I’m grateful for my life & each moment & person w/whom I share it.

That’s such a good question! I would pay off my school loans, buy some property in the mountains, a hot tub for my brother and SIL, eat at the fanciest restaurant in town, and give the rest to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
Brooke sure is speedy! If you ever figure out how to bottle her energy and sell it, please let me know. I’ll take a case :)

Yesterday was a good day – I went on a 5.5 mile run, got my adorable son’s hair cut, and celebrated my niece’s 5th birthday.

If I had a million dollars that I had to spend today I would pay off my school loans, buy a house (so tired of renting!), buy a minivan, adopt a baby, help out my family, pay for our Disney vacation (and stay for longer than three days), and visit my family in Singapore and Korea. And I’d do some research and donate to a great organization or two. If I didn’t have to spend it in a day I would definitely save a chunk of it, but that wasn’t really an option.

If I had a million dollars to spend today, I’d buy plane tickets for my whole family to get together for a nice, long holiday. I have parents in Australia, more parents and a brother in England, cousins in the States, Australia and England, grandparents in Australia and in-laws in the UK.

It would be a dream come true to spend four weeks with my family in one location.

I love those kinds of questions!! What would you do with your mill?

I love toddler energy! I wish I had even half of what they do.

A million dollars? I’d do the normal stuff like vacations, pay off the house, save for kid’s college, invest….but I’d really love to anonymously make some people’s dreams come true, like paying the adoption fees for someone or paying for a house for a struggling family, things like that. Leaving a ginormous tip is on my list too.

Reply

…I would buy my parents a house and a car so they wouldn’t have to work anymore. I would then pay off my brother’s house and then my house. And I just might have to buy a new purse, some running shoes, and go on a vacation. :) Can I do all of that with a million dollars??

I would buy a house! A modest one. Doesnt need to be a mansion. Not sure where though. Kinda sick of Ca! But I should probably pay off all our medical debt first.

Reply

A million dollars to spend today: Buy a “compound” so that the mom’s could live with us, but still have their own space/independence. (Which is pretty much the entire million in the Bay Area) — but assuming I get something for selling my house, I’d turn those proceeds into running trips/entries, new cars (mine has almost 200k miles on it!), and hire a cook, housekeeper, and gardener/maintenance person for a year. :)

We’re hooked on the Bachelor too. And just got my MIL hooked.

I would pay off my mortgage, buy a house for you and Brooke right by your family. Then a ticket from Australia to Utah to meet you face to face. And last but least fly to NY for the marathon.

I just got back from a 15km run and it was a great one. Love it when you feel strong. It’s also very warm here at the moment so I had to get up and run at 5.30 am before the 100F kicks in.

Have a great day!
