The 20 Year Reunion

October 29, 2008

20 Years!!! Amazing. Time really does fly. So, Friday night … 80s birthday party … wearing my cheer uniform … nothing like ‘wearing’ your memories prior to a reunion … like the day before (you’ll have to look at the prior post for that scoop).  This is all about Saturday night.
Tessa also flew back to [...]

Surprise Birthday in Washington

October 28, 2008

Where do I begin. First of all, I haven’t been able to write much of what I’ve really been up to since it involved a surprise to my dear friend Jenny for her 20 Year Anniversary of her 16th birthday – an 80’s party. She is so involved in the virtual world that I couldn’t [...]

Good Friends

October 23, 2008

I’ve been thinking a lot about good friends … how precious it is to find that connection between people. My mom once said to me to be thankful to have a handful of good friends in a lifetime … that it’s a special connection that you’ll find with people who understand you, know you, laugh [...]

Our Journey to Arizona #2

October 19, 2008

Well this time last year … a reflection from my journal at that time …
When we headed for the airport on Saturday, I asked Eric, “What percentage confidence do you have that we are moving here?” He said, “99%”, so I knew we were very serious. By the time we got home, reality set in [...]

Connor’s Brilliant Post

October 19, 2008

Well, it’s been a couple of days but I needed to share a little Connor love around so here’s some great photos of him with his Honor Roll medal. So impressive. He was so proud of himself and the medal (of which Haley cried because she didn’t get one), he received it on Tuesday and [...]

Love notes

October 17, 2008

Haley is very gifted at writing love notes all through the house. Today I went around, and instead of picking them up … I thought I’d take a few photos and share where they were …
I found the first one on the kitchen counter (near where Connor usually eats breakfast). She’s not competitive or anything [...]

Pool time is slowing down …

October 16, 2008

Today was a beautiful day here … low 90s and so nice out. It has been cooling of each night so the pool temp was barely at 75 degrees. That is warmer than the Puget Sound so I can justify another day in the pool but ohhhhh it was cold! I had to do the [...]

Make Me Laugh Monday

October 13, 2008

Well, it’s time to play along with my friend Jenny again. This is my all time favorite youtube video that I had seen and didn’t remember the name of it. Connor was watching again the other day and I had to share it with you all. I especially like the middle portion so you need [...]

A Year Ago Today … The Arizona Journey Begins

October 12, 2008

Well, it is amazing to think that our vacation to Arizona began exactly a year ago today. We had had a terrible bug incident and a burglary in the prior 4 weeks and things hadn’t been the same at our house. It was really weird. Especially after we had just celebrated our 15 year wedding [...]

Where have we been? Disneyland!

October 10, 2008

Well, I couldn’t believe it when I realized that my last post was almost 2 weeks ago!!! Wow. I’d say I took a little break. Well, we’ve been busy. We surprised the kids and went to Disneyland and met my parents there. The kids didn’t know we were doing either one (going to Disney or [...]
