I'm Still Alive...

If you were wondering. ;-D


Isn't this lovely of me? I've had some crazy moments.


I just wanted to pop in to say "Hey!" I'm sorry it's taken me this long to say something, anything!

I've missed you.
I've missed lots of things.

Some things I miss about Oregon:

~ My own bed
~ Being able to walk about in my undergarments
~ Someone else pumping my gas
~ My family
~ My friends

Some things I love about Washington:

~ Praying a lot
~ In-laws who pray for us a lot
~ Newness
~ People who are excited to see us and get to know us
~ All the trees

Some fun and not-so-fun moments (you be the judge of which were which):

~ Getting to see cool critters like starfish, spider crabs, and jellyfish out on Harstine Island.
~ The whole shopping cart flipping over and pinning Joy to the ground.
~ Me almost getting lost while driving.
~ Me getting all gussied up again for a new driver's license pic only to hate it once more.
~ Filling up the hot tub with cold water on the really hot days.
~ Roasting s'mores and looking out at the city from our backyard.
~ Not being able to find my Homeschool curriculum box that I carefully and specifically marked to come to the house and that I added a bunch of cool new supplies to.

Okay, that last one, I just about threw a tantrum about. Ahhhhh, a lesson in patience and flexibility I see!


Talk soon!
