September 16 Sigh...I'm horribleHello Everyone!
I am so sorry it has been so long since I have updated this site. So many things have been going on, and I just can't seem to find the time. Anyway, I thought I would fill all of you in on what's been going on in my life.
Bob and I are currently having some work done to the house and it has been pretty hectic! We are very excited about the updates and we cannot wait to have people over to see it. This is the first time I have ever had a home that I could actually do changes to, so it has been nerve wracking and exciting all at the same time! A special thank you goes out to my friends Sue and Gracie for keeping me sane through all of this. They have redone a few of their homes, and have helped me realize that if I don't like it...it's not the end of the world! :)
What a summer we had! We didn't do too many things that were exciting, but the fall is gearing up to be really busy!
We played 9 ball this summer with our friend Jeremy and we all had a really great time! We weren't the best team out there, be we sure did have fun playing. A special thank you to Jeb at Murphy's bar for sponsoring us. For the best steak in town, go to Murphy's in Southtown!
Our nephew Erik spent the summer back East and we are very excited to have him back here in Oregon with us! He is taking Shaolin Kempo and has already earned his yellow belt after only about three weeks of lessons! Way to go Erik! Both me and your Uncle Bob are VERY proud of you!
We were able to spend some time with our other two "nephews" this summer also. Freeman Gene and Nathan are growing up fast! Good luck in your first year of high school Freeman Gene and have fun with your last year of Junior high Nathan. We are very proud of both of you and know that you will go far in life! Keep up all the good work and we will talk to you both soon!
We celebrated Bob's birthday in July. We just had a small cookout and had fun doing diet coke and mentos tricks along with fireworks. Thank you so much Mike and Courtney, Sue and Gracie, and Andi and little Cole for helping us celebrate!
For the fourth of July, we went to Newport. We caught the fireworks in Depot Bay on the third, and then the fireworks in Lincoln City of the fourth. It was so cool! We had a lot of fun and look forward to doing this for years to come!
My mom and papa bear will be here in October! They are flying in and will be spending a week with us here in Oregon. We are so happy about them coming and we know we will have a wonderful time while they are here!
Speaking of October...TWO YEARS!!! It will be two years October 8th since Bob and I were married. We are still acting the newlyweds and loving every minute of it. :) I love you Sweetie!
On September 8, me and Bob and Sue and Gracie went to Shrewsbury Faire in King's Valley. We had a great time even though it was plenty hot! If you have never caught this festival, be sure and catch it next year. It's a lot of fun!
Congratulations to Brian and Evelyn! I know it's a little late, but I wanted to mention ya'll anyway and tell you again how happy Bob and I are for you two about your new home. It is a beautiful home that will be filled with much love for years to come. I just know it!
We went this past weekend to Silverton to see a musical called "Don't Fall". It is running for the next two weekends also at the Brush Creek playhouse. Why is this so special you may ask? Well...our best friend Grace wrote all the songs for it! It's an original production that is a joy to watch. If you get the opportunity, please don't miss this play! If you need info about tickets, give me a call, and I will also put a link to their website on the main page of my blog. We are so proud of you Gracie and we love you very much! If you go see this wonderful gem, take note of the stone wall and the tavern sign. Our other best friend Sue painted them both. Sue, you a wonderfully talented artist and a joy to all who know you!
Well, all for now. I'm sure I will be adding more about our summer as I think about them. Our nephew Cole just celebrated his second birthday, so a special happy birthday to my little pumpkin!
I hope everyone has a good week and I will write more soon! Take care everyone and keep in touch!
Love,
Alanda |
