Tip for the day

Don't take lightly the power of a new shaver:( I forgot I put a new razor head on my shaver this morning and totally sliced open the skin on my leg...ouch!

Besides all that nonsence, college starts back up again soon. You know what that means, more homework...wait a sec. I don't go to school! haha just kidding, it means my friends go back to school! Everyone's leaving this weekend already. This year is easier than last cause I have some more friends at home here now than I did last fall. We sure will miss all you outta state schoolers though!! Enjoy your time and make sure you call all us non-schoolers and teach us your mad skills you get to learn in class every day!

Israel Begins Withdrawal From Gaza Strip

Israel Begins Withdrawal From Gaza Strip

Check it out - I was in this exact same area 2 months ago! Check out the link to the video in the left pane, under the picture. This all happened about an hour ago. We were on those exact streets walking from Israel through the checkpoint, past that big wall, by the gaurds and barbwire and into the Gaza Strip. Yikes! Somehow that still makes me miss Israel, that's strange but it does.

Good 'ol Chuck-E-Cheeses

Today was so much fun. My friend, Becky, called me this morning asking if McKenna and I wanted to go with her and Jabin (the little boy she nanny's for) to Chuck e Cheeses. I hadn't been there since I was a kid but it sounded like so much fun, plus we love any excuse to keep McKenna busy and happy! We planned to meet there at like 11-11:30ish but once we told them they were both so excited we went early:) McKenna has the cutest little excited face, I love it so much. She had such a blast playing with all the new toys! What was really nice is she was wide awake and happy the whole time and fell asleep on the way home and slept for 3 1/2 hours. That was a nice break for me to clean up the house for them for the weekend and get a few other things done. I wanted to put these picture up here cause she is so adorable:)




Kids are fun...you just have to have the energy to keep them busy, train them not to whine at you and have ideas of what to keep them busy with! Some days I am thankful for my job:)

woops!

I made a big mistake by not thinking and deleted a video file off my computer. I don't remember doing it but it's gone so I must have thought it was too big and I was finished with it so I could delete it off. The problem lies in that I hadn't yet finished the video I was using the clip in and in Pinnacle Studio 9 (the software I use to edit videos) if the program can't find a clip from your project, it won't let you open ANY of it. So I lost those many hours of video work. Stink. I've tried all I could to get it back but I guess I'll just have to learn from this mistake...and I'm going to quit talking about this because the more I think about it the more seriously depressed I become cause it's just a stupid graduation video that noone is going to watch again anyways...oh well. Hopefully something good will happen in the next couple days to lift the spirits a little again.

I am going shopping tomorrow night with Jen and Nancy...something I haven't done in a long time. Right now, it just sounds good. Then Thursday night we are planning on going cannoeing down the Rogue River. I'm excited about that, it is so relaxing. Although I'll wish I didn't have to work again the next day...oh well. No plans for the weekend yet, but 5 weeks till I'm in Jackson Hole again.

hm...happy thoughts...happy thoughts...happy thoughts...happy thoughts...

YIPPEE!

Well, I'm really stinkin' excited because I just got a flight out to Jackson Hole! I'll be gone for a week in September, my friend said I could stay with her and her husband in their house!! One of our old roommates is getting married on the weekend that I am there so I get to go to that as well! I can't wait, it is SO pretty out there. I just wish flights were faster (I know, that is such an american way of thinking) cause they scare me...but oh well I guess!

The majority of my family that was here visiting, left this morning. It was so much fun to see them again. Two of my cousins are getting married in the next year and one of them brought her fiance. He was so fun to meet, he was hilarious. They asked me to put together a slideshow/video for their wedding which is in January. I'm really excited because I love doing those, but for some reason they always make me nervous too. I must just really worry about if they are going to like it or not. But I'm excited still!

Yesterday was beach day for the family because it was everyone's last full day here. McKenna's parents said it would be fine if I took her out there too so we all went to Holland State Park for a few hours! McKenna had just gotten to go to the beach this past weekend up by her grandparents house so she was SO excited to go to the "beachy" again! She loved every part of it:) All I have to say though is if you plan on having kids someday...enjoy your beachtime NOW!

YIPPEE! I get to go back to Jackson Hole!!
Just incase you are one of those who picture Wyoming as prarie land:)
