Birds of a Feather Stick Together...

Ok, so I was checking out some blogs yesterday and I came across an online store called

Etsy

where you can buy and sell handmade items. LOVE THIS SITE! :) I bought a great necklace last night and am so excited for it to arrive! For some reason I'm into vintage birds right now...totally dig'em! If you come across anything that you think I would like, reasonably priced of course, let me know!!

Missing My Home

Photos taken by "Me" when I lived at the beach....

I'm feeling sad right now...I'm missing my home at the beach! This weekend was so HOT out in the '909' and I don't have central ac! Not good during 100 degree weather! My wall unit didn't help much! I just miss being able to come home from work and ride my bike to the beach (that was 1 mile away) and cruise along the boardwalk enjoying the beauty! I miss my friends who are still out there, that I don't get to see very often anymore! I think I'm most lonely because my family has moved away! My sister and her family moved back to Mississippi last weekend, my mom moved to Washington the weekend before (after she got married), and my brother and his family live in Iowa. I, of course, stayed in California! I love it here...but I miss everyone so much! If anyone wants to come visit me...I have a guest room waiting! :) Love you all....

Speech & Language Development - 5k

On 4/13/08 my girlfriends and I decided to do a 5k at Knott's Berry Farm. The last one we did (in HB) had crazy hurricane weather...and then this one was so hot! Anyway, it was fun, and for a good cause - for the Speech and Language Development Center:)

Two Become One

On March 29, 2008 my mom and her wonderful man, Ray (or Ray-Ray as I like to call him), got hitched! "Two Become One" has a double meaning...for the two of them joined together as one and so did our two families. Ray has two great kids, Troy who is married to sweet Emily, and cute Kaelynn. It seems like we've been family forever! God couldn't have picked a better bunch! We all love each other and are so blessed to have each other! Mom is off living in WA now with her new husband and starting a new chapter in her life. I am so happy she found someone who loves her as much as Ray does! He is perfect for her!!

Oh, I caught the bouquet! - well, my mom threw it at me! :)

My Washington Tour

I took a little mini vacation this past weekend to visit Washington...where my mom will be living soon. Her fiance, Ray, is the best tour-guide! He took us all over Eastern WA to show me the sites! It was great seeing the beauty and visiting with my soon-to-be new family :) Here are some photos from my adventures up North....

Visiting a park in Spokane with my soon-to-be step brother, Troy. He is pretty awesome! :) - oh, and I'm finally going to be a big sister! I think that's pretty exciting!

Well, now you've seen just a glimpse of my tour around WA. You should all visit there one day, its very pretty!

Run, Walk & Roll for Mobility - 5k

On 2/3/08 I had my first 5k...and it was a hurricane outside!! Well, not really, but it seemed like it. We had pouring rain, wind, and cold...my ipod went dead half way through the race because of the wetness. But it was so fun, and it was nice crossing the finish line running!! :) I look forward to running more races in the future!
