Fall updates

Boy things have quickly spiraled out of control these past few months. We have had to deal with some pretty heavy issues in the family and are looking for some much needed "happy times."

Some good things have happened, however. My mom and I took a great trip down to Arizona to visit family and soak up some sun. We stayed a few days in a hotel and a couple days at my cousin Cathy's house. We had such a great time and both mom and I truly LOVE Arizona. It is such a beautiful place, in such a different regard than Washington.

Nick has been busy working on his Master's degree and school has kept him busy with meetings, report cards and committees. He loves his job but it takes a mighty toll on him!

For the Children's Hospital Guild I am in, we held our annual shopping bus trip (going to Molbak's and Bellevue Square) and had a great time. I ended up working on the bus serving drinks, selling raffle tickets, and preparing food. It was actually a lot of fun but I am so sore from trying to balance myself on a bus all day! Overall the three buses were able to pull together $12,000 to send down to Seattle Children's! We were so happy and grateful that everyone helped us out!

Well, its Thanksgiving week. I will try to get better about posting more updated blogs and I will hopefully have some pictures of the festivities coming up. Happy Thanksgiving all!
