Seriously......

Ok - I knew it had been a while since I posted - but 3 months??? Seriously......

I have been super busy! Back in October - Curt and I went to Chicago on business. It was really fun and we got to do quite a bit of sightseeing. We have a policy - whenever we are in a new city we do not eat at any chain restuarants - instead we eat at local places with local flare and unique qualities. We have some pictures but I have not had a chance to download them. Also in October - I went to Phoenix to take care of our precious grandson - love love love being a grandma! Who would have thought that being a grandma was SOOOO much fun? If I could be 1/2 the grandma my grandma was I'm in good shape! I also went to Palm Springs to spend time with Vanessa. Love Palm Springs! It's beautiful and warm and most of all my youngest lives there! I have to say that at times I feel a bit inadequate with the rich people on the flights - ok not really - but seriously.....who needs rings that big? Who needs their socks to match their sweaters? LOL

November - oh - November was really busy with work - one of my contracts kept me traveling across Oregon and parts of Washington - I really enjoyed it and I seem to be good at training. Who knew? LOL

Can't beleive it's December already! My first child - Savannah turned 22 on December 8th!!! Seriously - can she be that old already? I guess that makes me a bit older as well. LOL I also took a part time seasonal job at Coach - for those of you who don't know - Coach is a high end designer bag store. (purses) I really like it!!! I have never worked in retail but seem to be good at it....haven't heard any complaints LOL. I also have to say that I LOVE the employee discount! Dylan got to come up and spend part of a week with us - he is the best little boy I know - the cutest too!!! We just love him so much and we have so much fun with him. I took him to see Santa Clause last week - he was cool with it until Santa tried to hold him. I picked him up and sat next to Santa so we both had our picture taken. It was that or nothing. Me and Savannah took Dylan to Cafe Sip n Play - Dylans favorite place to go play when he's here.

We are off to LA Wednesday - then to Disneyland on Thursday with Dylan, Brandon & Emily. Back home on Friday just in time for round two of winter storms. Since we live on the Columbia River Gorge on a hill we get really strong winds. It's going to be under freezing for the next week to week and 1/2. For those of you who are saying "Thats Nothing - Try Living in Idaho" I have to politely decline. NO Thank you!!!! I do like to have changing seasons and I enjoy snow but I couldn't live in freezing tempuratures for extented periods of time. Good news is my husband keeps me warm!!

I'll post some pictures when I get time. :)

Till next time..........
