Treasures of the World

Not a lot going on lately. Not much to blog about. I thought I would post this picture just because I thought it was cool. (click on it to make it bigger). My dad sent me a postcard from Spain of a Cathedral there and it really made me stop and think about how much I have not seen. I’m a Texas girl and have never been too adventurous. As I looked at that Cathedral in the picture I imagined how beautiful it would be in person. I was never able to apply that thinking before I went to Colorado. I had seen many mountains in pictures and t.v. but never in person. It was breath-taking to be right there in person with the mountains! Pictures can’t give an accurate description. So, now when I see pictures I try to imagine what it would really be like in person. I try to imagine the detail. There is a lot I would like to see in person now.
We talked about the Ancient Babylon Hanging Garden in church last night and although it no longer exists I can imagine what an amazing, beautiful site it was. Especially for me, loving the outdoors like I do.. All the trees, plants, flowers and fountains were probably awesome. As I became more interested and searched the internet to learn about the Hanging Garden I came across this picture of a Hanging Temple in China built more than 1,500 years ago. That fact alone is hard to wrap my brain around, but imagine actually being IN this temple. Literally hanging on the side of a cliff! I wish there were more natural, outdoor attractions around than all the buildings and highways there are now. I am sure there are hidden treasures in the world that I would like to see some day and getting over my fear of flying is probably going to have to be my first step 
As for a personal update, I survived the party and Brendan is back from camp. Everything went well and they all had fun! Mark is back to work and we are all still adjusting to that.
No adoption news. It should be August by my calculations before we expect to hear anything. I will keep you posted!
