This blog is dedicated to my friend Christyn. Who was a perfect host while I stayed in Oregon this week. BFF forever.. wait that's BFFF. Pa Fef!

What a whirl wind week, I just totally flew. I drove up to Oregon last Sunday. I wanted to see some friends and do a little work from the home office. It was so great, but just went by too fast. I had a lunch and dinner date almost every day. Thank you to those who took time out of their lives to come see me, it really meant a lot. Friday night we had a get together with all the old gang from the singles ward. It was just like old times (sans Steph) I admit I got a little nostalgic.

Saturday, with all the visits behind me I spent time bonding with my girls, and my Oregon. Kath had just gotten back from Armenia with the PeaceCorp and Guatemala to learn Spanish before she starts school again. How proud we are of her. We ate at one of my favorite cafes then drove down to Cannon Beach, danced on the beach and drank in the beautiful scenery (I also went a little crazy with the camera, do you have any idea how hard it is to look this hot when self photographed... snicker).

Then what trip is complete w/o going to Powells? Just walk in and browse Kim, ok just one book Kim, and make sure it is a paperback. Ok you can have two books but paperback only. Crap... how'd I end up getting a whole bag full of books?

on the drive home, there is a tree farm, it is my favorite part of the drive. Don't tell anyone but i have fantasies of running through the trees getting lost. So this time... I did. Don't say anything, I think I was trespassing. But it was awesome.

oh and when I downloaded my pictures, I found this... seriously cutest soon to turn 2 niece ever.

So Long.. Farwell...

How did this happen? Just when I found you I lost you. (seriously can you name that movie?)

Fall Season of PSYCH is over... woe is me.

ARE YOU OPPOSED TO LAUGHING?

Are you opposed to humor?

Are you opposed to awesome 80's trivia?

Are you opposed to edge of your seat murder mysteries?

Are you opposed to seeing grown men scream like little girls?

Are you opposed to random and crazy antics?

Are you dead?

Dean & Jesus (hey-sus)

I found a pattern for these bunnies and just knew I had to make them. How adorable are they? Yes Q the word is ADORABLE. One for each Niece and my one Nephew and the two on the way.


MJ when she got hers, I asked her what the bunny's name was. she said w/o hesitating.... Dean. ok.... what's the name of the other one? Jesus (we say it with a Spanish accent, just like her giraffe George)
