Home from Oklahoma

We made it back yesterday. Very tired and crabby. We managed to average 4 hours of sleep each night. It was crazy. We were so busy with the wedding and trying to see as many friends as we could. Janice was beautiful and the wedding turned out very nice. Jord and I laughed at each other because we were shedding tears during the wedding and Richard/Chris didn't shed any. She was like our own.....I think we realized just how much at the wedding. Anyway, Michael/Janice seemed very happy and excited and we are happy too. We got some good visiting time in with Dana and with Elizabeth and the kids. I was feeling a little lost without my kids. We didn't get to talk to Creston until last night. He seems to be having fun and we are ready for him to be home. So now we are saving every penny for the next trip......this one hopefully will be a little less work and alot more pleasure. Oregon Coast....here we come!!

Everyone Flying!!!

O.K. So I'm having a hard time with my 14 year old being in Hawaii without his MAMA!! I'm sure he is not having a hard time with it at all. Jord and I leave tomorrow bright and early for Okieville. Very excited to see the wedding and to visit friends but have to leave Kat at home with Grandma/Grandpa. They get the job of babysitting all the Washington granddaughters. Mom might have to go back to drinking Pepsi in order to make it through the next 4 days. I had to teach Kat how to use the alarm clock so she would wake up for school. I have been the alarm clock....hopefully that goes well. We are counting down the days till the Oregon coast, it was so good to see the little Lybarger boys and give them lots of squeezes! The little ones are so addictive.....lets see I think I need time with Lionel and my two little sweet nieces.

Not A Whole Lot To Say

We have been filling our time going to watch the girls play basketball. It seems strange watching Katarina with Rhi and Irish. We never dreamed we would be living here and all the kids going to school together. The kids have adjusted great....which always makes you feel so much better about moving. Last Saturday, Jord and I and the kids piled into the car to buy winter coats. Jord and I have coats in storage, but the thought of pulling out all those boxes trying to find the one labled "Coats"......well, thats not for me! I did find some very good sales and was happy when we come home spending under $200.00 for 4 coats. Not bad.....I have been trying to tie up loose ends for Janice's wedding, the day is fast approaching. Its hard trying to decide on flowers/cake when we are living here and she is there. I'm sure it will all come together. All I'm waiting for is the trip to the Ocean.....now that brings a smile to my face....It's been almost 10 years since we have seen the Oregon coast.
