The Grand Canyon!
Hey ya'll!!Well I didn't tell you that I was going 2 the Grand Canyon in my last post..because I didn't know I was going either!!!!Lol.My dad completely surprised me. Here is how the convo went..
he said yesterday morning "we are goin up 2 the Grand Canyon"
"I was like kool.When? tomorrow?" (meaning Saturday today)
And he was like "no right now you've got 10minutes 2 pack and then we are going up."
I was really excited but I had made plans for us 2 meet up with my dads friend (Dolf de Roos-Real Estate Extrodinare...fantastic guy full of wisdom and knowledge!!) But we were 2 call him or vice versa....hmm unfortunately we dropped out of service and haven't had any since.Which I hate.I never realised how much I actually rely on my cell. I mean I felt really insecure at the fact that it didn't work!Lol, stupid I know...but at least I am honest.
So anyhow it was 5 hours up here from Phoenix but it really didn't feel that long at all!!We listened 2 Dolf de Roos audiobook called Wealth Magnet it is very interesting and inspiring!I love this guy!Lol. The journey here was not at all boring though there was spectular scenery the whole way here, it was great! Basically got the hotel, went to the room, had dinner and went to bed. Throughout this trip I have been dropping hints well ok not really hints but you get me,lol. That I would really love 2 go on a helicopter ride over mountains...I thought you could maybe do this back in Phoenix..but no such luck. Then my dad surprised me again and said that we were taking the helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. This was an unbelievable experience...one reason because I had never been on a helicopter before and the other it was flying over the Grand Canyon. Nothing can prepare you for the views you see on the copter....for the first 10-15mins you are flying over trees thats it....then as you get closer and closer to the edge you don't think its a big deal. Then BAM you are flying over this huge canyon and you also feel as you fly over the edge that you are just going 2 fall it is an amazing experience!!!I record most of it on my camera so if any of you wanna see my terrible filming skills then let me know!I loved it...even when the pilot did funny tricks 2 try and scare me...he succeed but at least I overcame a fear 2day...Woohoo!!
After the flight we drove down to the canyon and walked around, not the whole way around but as far as you could go. This just gave you a different perspective. O yea I warn you..do NOT wear new shoes when you go 2 walk here because I did and I am suffering now with several blisters!The name of the canyon pretty much sums it up GRAND!!But you know it was really hard 2 imagine that God is miles bigger than this canyon....I mine its huge!!It's just outstanding to believe that my Saviour is way bigger, stronger and mightyer!But its true he really is!
Another thing I really do not understand is that so many people who live here in America have not been down here 2 see the canyon!I mean what is wrong with them? The guy Dolf I was talking about has never been and other people we meet here have never been!They are missing out SO much...it's in their country and they are not making use of it...so strange!Lol. I mean it is only 5 hours from Phoenix...you could come up here and back in one day.Lol...anyhow I think I'm ranting a bit. Well I've been trying 2 post pictures but it just ain't workin!!errr!!
Well i'll try and get this sorted soon
Love and miss you all lots!
God Bless!

Dollars,deals and desert
Hey hey everyone!!How are we all doing?I hear it's raining at home, well not 2 rub it in too much...but i am in Phoenix,Arizona USA and it is 113*F here right now it is lovely and actually really bearable coz there is no humidity. Everything is so different, i mean they don't have very many normal trees because they can't grow deep enough roots in the deserty soils, and even if there are trees they are all bent over coz the roots aren't deep and strong enough. But it's so cool 2 see Cactus' ,Palm trees and mountains. Flying over Phoenix was breath-taking I literally said out loud WOW as I looked out of the window. As we were on the flight I was begining to think, o my word is this flight ever going 2 end and will it all be worth it?There was no need 2 doubt, it really really was worth those long 11hours!!
So far me and dad haven't really done very much, because the jet-lag really gets you. We are now 8 hours behind u all.But we have went shopping (which is amazing!!),looked at dad's property and went 2 a conference.The conference was so boring but I suppose thats all part of the deal.Only thing is I wasn't too happy when dad spent 3 hours in 2 different electronic shops.But he is going 2 get pay back 2day!!
Well i have 2 go and get in the shower and get ready 2 head out.I hope you are all keeping well and i'll let you know whats happening over here coz I think we are goin 2 head 2 a ranch and a safari so i'll let u know how that goes!
Love and miss ya'll!!
God bless!
