Halloween 09

One of my favorite sounds!

Austin Fun

Spent a wonderful week in Texas with Becca and Steve. Becca and I drove through Texas to the gulf coast and stayed at the beach and played in the warm water. The gulf coast is absolutely beautiful. Fun fun

Montana Fun

Montana is beautiful. It took us 10 hours in the motor home to get there but it was worth it. Kasey and Eric's house is really nice and big. It is out in a quiet little town. Of course we took in the shopping of Great Falls!

Happy Birthday Girlfriend!

Happy Birthday to my bestest friend ever! I hope you are enjoying the Ariz. sunshine--because it is so sad and blue in Oregon without you! Love and miss you girlfriend!

We did it!

Just finished a fun weekend run with a great group of friends. For those of you who have never got to run a relay of 140+ miles it may sound sick when I say we spent 28+ hours with 6 people in a van --running, eating, sleeping, sweating and the best part laughing! Yes Van 2 I would do it again in a heartbeat! Thanks Suzy, Sue Dog, Torrie, Corrin, Jason, and Sue Quinn for getting it all together!

summer fun

This summer has so far been a learning experience--Learned how to run again--Learned how to enjoy a vacation--learned how much I love my family.

I am coming to some closure with an unfair practice that happened to me at work after 22 years with the district. Still there for the kids that I love and that is why I do what I do--but seeing these fun faces of summer helps me realize this is what life is all about!--Not the who and whats of work!
