Improvising

Last night I just got back from my favorite place in the entire world.
Being home is bitter sweet, cause I always want to stay longer at Lake Tahoe.

The first day, we drove through a massive dust storm.  Then when we arrived at our hotel, the power was out for 5 hours!  It was a crazy start to a crazy vacation!  And after a 10 hour car ride… I was hungry!  Because the power was out I wasn't able to cook anything or buy anything.  So we drove further out of town and went to a grocery store for the bare essentials.  I was so hungry and was quickly approaching what I call "survival mode".  I am not myself when I am hungry…. Haha.  Anyways, I found this salad and "improvised".  Not being able to eat many things in the store I found joy in what I could have.  And I'm thankful for my supportive Dad who let me get whatever I needed to in this "little emergency".

Also, I discovered that I love Blue Cheese!

I am so thankful that I was able to travel to beautiful Lake Tahoe, California.  The last time I was there, two years ago, I was deathly ill and wasn't sure why.  It was so wonderful to be able to enjoy the lake and to be healthy.  In these past two years I have really accomplished a lot!  Also, this entire week I have felt incredibly healthy.  This is truly a huge blessing and I am very thankful.
