These are a Few of my Favorite Things!

Next in my favorite thing series...my favorite movies!! This was a very hard list to compile, because I LOVE movies! There are so many that I really enjoy so narrowing it down to my very favorites was hard! But I decided to share my favorites with you in a little bit different way. I have below scenes from my favorite movies. At the end of the post are the movies each scene is from so see if you can guess what they are before scrolling down for the answers! Some will be very easy but others may be a bit tougher. Enjoy!

Love Has Come

There have been many changes in my life over the last couple of years and many times changes bring upon hardships, stress, etc. It has been no different for me. And though I know that God is with me each and every step of the way, it's not always easy to remember this in the midst of life's storms. I had a rough day today. No one big thing in particular happened just "one of those days." I was to the point where the stress had just built and built and on the radio this song started to play... It is a newer song but has quickly become one of my very favorites. The title is "Love Has Come" and is sung by Mark Schultz. It is one of those songs that I hear and it puts me right on the streets of heaven. But as I listened to it today, the tears started falling as all the issues of my day faded because I was reminded that one day, none of these things are going to matter. One day "Love" will come and on that day... I don't even have the words to finish how I will feel when I see the face of Jesus. So I wanted to share this song with you and I hope it gives you the same overwhelming feelings of God's Love it gives me.

These are a Few of my Favorite Things!

Just as I promised...the next post on my "Favorite Things" series! It being summertime, the time for vacations, I decided to share with you my list of places I want to visit one day. I love to travel but do not get to do it very often, so I keep dreaming! Nothing wrong with that, right! And yes my list is quite lengthy, but I want to see the different places God created. One day...

~PARIS~

~I have wanted to go to Paris for as long as I can remember! My Grandaddy and I always said we would go together :) Paris is #1 on my list of destinations! I am in love with it!~

~New York~

~New York is probably second on my list. I want to go at Christmas because the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree (and the ice skating rink below) is one of my favorite scenes ever! I want to stay in the Plaza Hotel (from Home Alone 2) that you can see from Central Park. I also plan to see the Phantom of The Opera and a Christmas Orchestra Concert at Carnegie Hall! Not that I have thought about this trip or anything :) ~

~Canada~

Vancouver

Whistler 

Quebec City 

Lake Louise

~Will and I honeymooned in Victoria, British Columbia in Canada. I'd always been interested in Canada but Victoria was absolutely incredible and now I want to see the whole country! I would really like to take a train ride across the country stopping and staying in the Fairmont Hotels. They are amazingly beautiful with incredible architecture. These four places are my top destinations to visit in Canada! ~

~Washington DC~

~ I went to Washington DC when I was about 4 years old but I do not remember much at all. So I want to go back and see it all! I would like to go during the Cherry Blossom Festival. I love Cherry Blossoms and can't imagine how beautiful it would be to see that many surrounding national monuments!~

~England~

~Oh to see England! Apart from Paris, this is probably my favorite overseas destination. I love all the old architecture, the castles, the food, the accents, the royalty! I could go on forever! ~

~Italy~

Tuscany

Amalfi Coast 

Venice

~Ahh...Italy...it just seems like the most romantic place in the world! I love Italian food in America, I can't imagine how wonderful it must be in Italy! ~

~Las Vegas~

~Will and I love the movie 'Oceans Eleven.' I think it is what really sparked our desire to visit Vegas. You just can't have a destination list and not add Vegas!~

~Alaska~

~My Grandparents went on a trip to Alaska years ago and after seeing the pictures they brought back and hearing about their trip, I've wanted to go ever since! It is just such a unique place with serene beauty!~

~St. Lucia~

~Before Will and I decided to marry in December, I always said St. Lucia would be where I honeymooned. But since we got married the week before Christmas, we wanted to go somewhere wintery instead. So, I've yet to go to St. Lucia! I want to stay at a Sandals Resort with a private plunge pool! ~

~New England~

~I want to take a trip through New England seeing specifically Maine (thoroughly enjoying the lobster!), Philadelphia, the Amish country, Boston, and all the small towns and old churches along the way. I think it would be the most beautiful in the fall...~

~California~

~I would love to see the Pacific Coast in California. There are so many different areas that I couldn't pick just one to see! On the list are Hollywood and Beverly Hills, San Francisco, Napa Valley, and Los Angeles. ~

~Charleston~

~I have been to Charleston, but it was in college to a mission fuge camp; therefore, I did not get to see any of Charleston that I would like to see. My Grandma cross stitched the famous Rainbow Row and it has hung in her house for years! It has always been a dream of mine to actually see it in person :) ~

~Savannah~

~Those that know me well, know the one main reason I want to visit Savannah...Paula Deen! I dearly love her...so obviously I will be eating at The Lady and Sons:). But beyond this, there are many things about Savannah that are appealing to me, one being the gorgeous southern style of homes pictured above! ~

~Seattle~

~I do not have a great reason for why I want to visit Seattle, it has just always been somewhere I would like to go. It seems like a very unique city. I have seen several things on the Fish Market and would love to spend a day browsing there! ~

~San Antonio~

~The 3 years that Will and I lived in Texas, we never got the opportunity to visit San Antonio. The picture above is of the famous Riverwalk where I would love to spend all my time, including a hotel room with a view of this very shot! ~

~Lake Tahoe~

~Lake Tahoe has always seemed stunningly beautiful to me. I am actually not a skier, never even attempted it, but the scenery seems breathtaking! I would love to stay in a cozy cabin with this very view! ~

~Cruise~

~Hopefully, I will be going on a cruise sooner than later! Will and I both really want to cruise somewhere tropical and if plans work out, we would like to go for our 5th anniversary this year! ~

SO...I know my list is very lengthy, but traveling is something I really LOVE to do. And since my means don't allow for the actual trips right now, the planning and dreaming will do :)
