OK.....long overdue update. It's the beginning of Spring Break and it's pouring down rain outside. Nothing new there...living in Oregon, it's typical. Have been going crazy with work, again nothing new, but looking forward to taking a few days off at the end of the week during Spring Break.

Jake's in Santa Fe, New Mexico this week. Went down there with his girlfriend's family. We might see him at the end of the week for a few days before he goes back to college. Emily has a new boyfriend so we haven't seen much of her either...So it's just Paul, me and the dog. I think we might all be able to come together next weekend.

I am soooooo ready for Spring weather, not just the calendar's indication. It seems like it has been a VERY long winter this year, time to come out of hibernation. My dearest friend has posts on her Facebook about spring growth starting to poke out and it makes me smile thinking of seeing her sunflowers again this year. I sure wish we lived closer to where they are, they are the kind of friends that are like family and are truly near and dear to our hearts!!

Watched 'Twighlight' again last night on DVD. So loved the book and a bit disappointed with the movie watching it for the second time. Watched it at mom and dad's after Paul's bday party with the rest of the family and they all had a kind of wishy washy thought about the movie. They didn't really care for it. I am anxious to see how the subsequent movies do compared to the books.

Off to Montana this week for work... love the beauty of that state. Not as much as Oregon, but not far off. My goal with travel this year is to try and take a little time to actually enjoy and take in some of the sites of the areas I am visiting as opposed to just running from one location to the next.
