Hello Everyone!

 

Well, according to the dates on my blog, it's been about a month and a half since I updated my site. Where does the time go? I am on Spring Break this week from college, and so I have been pretty busy doing some spring cleaning and also (to the dismay of my husband) some spring shopping! :)

 

First, I would like to send out some congratulations. The first person is my wonderful friend Courtney.  Courtney moved here from Texas, so us two Southern girls have been learning the ropes of the Pacific Northwest together.  She is getting married next June (where I will be the most awesome bridesmaid EVER for her!), and her and her fiance Mike just bought their first house, AND got a puppy! Way to go guys! I am very happy for the both of you! :)

 

Next, my friend Tiffany has announced that she will be getting married to her wonderful fiance Joey next September (2008).  Tiffany was a bridesmaid in my wedding, so it was with great honor I accepted her request for me to be one in hers.  I look forward to this happy day and I hope that I can carry out my bridesmaid's duties better than anyone in history. 

 

Bob and I have been spending a lot of time with our friends Sue and Gracie (as usual).  We are so glad that we have friends that we can hang out with and spend time together.  We look forward to our weekend trip to the coast with them next month. We love you both very much! Also, a belated happy birthday to Gracie who had a birthday on March 5. We love you Grace and we wish you many more happy birthdays! :)

 

My friend Chuck also had a birthday at the beginning of this month on March 3.  Happy birthday Chuck! I love you very much and I thank my lucky stars that I have a friend as good as you.  We have been through a lot together, good times and bad.  I look forward to sharing many more memories with you.

 

Bob and I went to a BBQ last Saturday and had a great time.  It was at his sister's boyfriend's house, so we were able to meet a lot of his friends and even some of his family.  Thank you so much Rick for inviting us and for the yummy wings and BBQ chicken! I also want to send out a very special message to my sister-in-law Andi: you are not just my husband's sister, but truly one of my best friends.  I love you chicky! Andi also had a birthday on February 23.  I was able to eat out with her and her friend Lauri from Oklahoma (who flew in just for the occasion), and also with my friend Courtney who had a birthday February 19.  It was really cool for me and Andi to be able to celebrate her birthday and Courtney's birthday as friends as well as family. Happy belated birthday to Andi and Courtney both!

 

Well, I have a houseful right now.  Not only am I on Spring Break, but our three nephews (one by family, two by friends) are also on Spring Break right now too!  We are all having a wonderful time and I will talk more about their visit and post pictures at a later date. 

 

Well, all for now. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Spring and I look forward to hearing from all of you soon!

 

Love,

Alanda
