This man has questions he needs answered...

On my way to work this is what I ran into...


Obviously, he has questions and is looking for someone to answer them! Maybe this person is me!!! :)

On the MOVE!

I am on the MOVE to end Alzheimer's! This is the third walk for me since moving to DC and this year it means all the more because of a dear friend who recently passed away with this disease.

She was an inspiration and great example of love and charity! This year, I dedicate my walk to her!



If you would like to donate click this link DONATE! Help me make my goal of $500.00 this year!

I'm feeling it in the air!

Fall - I see it, I smell it, I feel it in the air! It is coming!!! I am really growing to love this part of the year. I guess it helps because I have some really cute sweaters that I am getting really excited to wear!

Here is a picture of what I have to look forward to...



And yes, I actually took this picture myself!

And then they were married....

Back in May one of my best friends, Calley, and my sister, Cami, were married. I know, I know - I am a little behind!

I was able to attend both weddings in Utah and was grateful for the chance to go home for a little while. Calley and Cami were beautiful brides and married wonderful men!

Here are some pictures of their weddings and I think they made beautiful brides!

I Enjoy Being A Girl - or teaching one!!

I love having little Alesa around. I found these pictures and couldn't help but show our fun girl time!! :)

Little things that help me get through the day!!

I have four fortune cookie fortunes that I read daily to help get me through the day!

- You are busy but you are happy! Don't know if I really believe that one some days. Ha ha!

- Get your mind set - confidence will lead you on!

- Your ability to find the silly in the serious will take you far! All I have to do is remember one certain intervention with one certain sister and I believe this to be true... Don't stare at her in the eyes!!!

- Listen to the wisdom of the old. I believe this with all my heart! I love listening to the stories of the older generations. I am lucky to work where I can visit and listen to those on a more regular basis!

Things at work can be crazy. Some days I love my job and some days I don't! I am currently in the process of learning some new billing procedures and so far loving it!! Things are going well for me right now, I just need to learn to update the blog more often! I do have quite a few pictures that I want to post of my new place and other random adventures! I will post those on a more regular basis... :)

The Power of Electricity!

Due to a storm this last Sunday, I have been out of power at my house until Wednesday morning. For some this might seem like a small thing – but to me it was HUGE!

I had to adjust to no air conditioning, no charging of the cell phone, no Internet, candlelight showers and not opening the fridge/freezer for fear of letting the cold air escape.

I didn’t realize that I had turned on my light in my bedroom until this morning when it turned on and I jumped out of bed disoriented and thinking I was being attacked! Good thing I was the only person home at this time! I did brave opening the freezer this morning to assess the damage and sad to say it is probably all going to have to be thrown out...

Overall, this morning I was a very grateful individual!!! I was thankful for lights in the bathroom (putting make-up on in the dark is not pretty), air-conditioning, music to help me get ready and overall electricity that really makes my life that much easier!
