Perfect Imperfection

Do you ever sit back and think…life slow down!  That’s how I feel pretty much every week.  I keep thinking,  “Life will slow down next week and then I will once again have time for blogging and cleaning the house”.  I used to be good at doing these things!  Well, so far it hasn’t happened so here I am making a command decision to just blog and let responsibilities go by the way side.

The Johnson’s have been quite busy lately.  The school year started with a bang and Aaron and I have been running ever since.  The good news is Aaron will graduate very soon and there will be many hazzah’s in his honor come August.  Seriously, I think the only person more excited about Aaron’s graduation than Aaron is me.  Its so close we can taste it!

In January Aaron and I were sick of all the snow and responsibility and luckily our friends the Harmon’s were feeling the same way.  When you get to feeling this way there really is only one logical step to take.  Yes, that’s right……head for Disneyland.  We made the decision to go and were on the road within four days.  Some may say we are insane (including the Harmons) and to that we say, “Yes, we are and proud of it!”

It was just so nice to escape the snow, ice, and stress and just be kids for a couple days.  There was much screaming, laughing, eating of bad food, and almost some puking (of course me).  All in all it was the perfect trip to an amusement park. We are so glad our friends the Harmons chose to partake in the craziness with us.  We are also grateful to Aaron’s cousins Kari and Eric for hosting us while we were there.  It was so great to see their new home and partake in the California goodness.

Just as an aside, do any of you find Splash Mountain incredibly creepy?  I absolutely hate that ride.  Its not like the drop is overly scary or anything but I totally freaked out when we went on it.  I seriously think I may still have a little PTSD as result of the ride.  Every time I think about those creepy animals and how the music becomes all freaky half way through the ride I shudder.  Yes folks you heard it here, Aubrey Johnson is afraid of Disneyland rides!  But then again those of you who have been to Disneyland with me are not surprised.  And no Keri and Traci I still didn’t make it on the white roller coaster…sigh!

After we left I was feeling kind of embarrassed for being such a weenie but then I remembered I work in an Elementary school with special needs kids and that’s all the tough I need.   So there all you “Roller Coaster Riders” and others who “aren’t afraid of Disney characters”…..eat that!
