our special trip to sunny Cali...

We were blessed enough to have another amazing vacation to sunny So Cal!  It's been a hectic few weeks and months in the Atkins household, so it was a well deserved vacation!  

Brindley and Colden were invited to be the flower girl and ring bearer in their cousin's wedding (my niece Jillian)!  It was such a special time for us, Jillian was in our wedding 13 years ago, she was just 10!  And just like Brian and I, married her high school sweetheart, Julian!  

It was simply gorgeous!  The setting...Malibu...and the bride and groom...stunning.

After wedding festivities, we explored Santa Monica a bit and also went to Universal Studios!

We then headed south to Disneyland for a couple of days!  

 And we wore her out!
 The happiest place on earth!



We ended our trip at Disney, but had a late flight and decided to head to the beach.  So we went to Newport Beach and the Balboa Pier.  It was a gorgeous day and we found so many seashells!  
Until next time sunny So Cal...

we did it...

Accelerate the Pace 2013 is complete and was a complete success!  We are still accepting donations and tallying final numbers, but it was a huge success!  

I'm so thankful for the other 14 women that helped make this a success.  Not to mention our sponsors, donors and volunteers.  

 And the runners are off...
The amazing Eastside Chapter!
