OK I am back

I know I know....It's been a long time but I have decided when you have something worth writing about you are two busy to do so.

Quick update:
Go Eagles: I went to my 20 year high school reunion. We had 9 people there from my kindergarten class. It was fun to see so many people though I still am not sure what it is about having gone to school with these people, some of them my whole life, that has such the draw. What I really want is a stake reunion to visit with my old Mormon friends.

St Marten's: We actually did make it out with the crazy weather in Oregon and Chicago. We enjoyed strawberry, mango, chocolate banana and my favorite pina colado drinks (virgin of course) on the beautiful and warm beaches of the Caribbean. Losing 5 of our 7 pieces of clothing including all of our clothes except Nathans was a set back. Also the scary event of my Mother in Law Joyce having a heart attack 2 days before we left resulting in she and Paul not joining us made us sad. Becca read and tanned with her 50 sunblock on, Roz and Eliza got their hair braided enjoying freedom to snorkel, build castles and swim in the pool. The boys were beach bums in the morning, pool in the afternoon and riding on the pirate ship. Nate escaped the blackberry for a whole week and I read a friends book she is writing which is coming along awesome (you know who you are).

The beginning of a new year: Life is up and rolling in full speed now with school board budget and elections through May. We had some beautiful weather in January and now I have the itch to work in the yard. This years project is pathways around the garden.

I am off to check my facebook account now. Ah technology-it's so time consuming :)
