3-11-2009 Recent Thoughts

Hi! How are you?

Here are some of my recent thoughts and things we are doing...

A few days ago, I ran into my one and only crushes Father. His father and I started talking as we were sharing the same view of the sunny beautiful cascading mountains with some sweetly sprinkled snow on the tops of the mountains, beautiful tall evergreen tree line hills and birds cleaning up, swimming, diving and flying gracefully across the cool breezy air. We started walking around the track and talked about the how I remembered how sweet his wife is, how I could not talk to his son, the bible chapters I read recently and our some stories about life.



Yesterday we had dinner at Red Robin in Silverdale with some of our close family.... I am really happy we were able to do that! I want to visit and do more with family and friends.... I really enjoy it!

My dear husband and I already packed up a lot of the house! We filled all the boxes he got. It feels odd with all of our photographs/art work and belongs in boxes. It does not feel like home here anymore... we are make good plans for our new home. I really love all the de-cluttering we are doing!

Today was one of the days my son has pre-school.... he really loves it! Tonight I have planned a skate night with an old friend from high-school! There are so many fun events going on already and it is not even Summer time yet : )

I soaked in some sun for my walk just a little bit ago. I had some green tea and vitamins this morning before my walk..... I love going outside!

I will be working on removing all my old watermarks off the photographs in my website galleries.

I love writing... I hope you enjoy my writing!
