2:00 am

2:00 AM on Tuesday Morning.

Woke up to a very annoying sound. The fire alarm/Smoke detector was going off. I woke Chris up, before I could figure out where it was coming from, Chris had the detector hanging from the wall, the sound still going strong. Went out the front door, realized it was the building. No smoke, no fire. Still very LOUD!

So we slipped on some shoes, sweatshirts, grabbed our keys and phones and walked outside.

Fire Trucks, Ladder Trucks, the whole shebang show up. After about 45 minutes, they let us back inside. Did I mention that my alarm goes off at 3:30am, and its now 2:45? So NOT FAIR!

It was interesting to see what people grabbed. For the most part the men were all in old men cargo shorts, crew socks and tennis shoes/sandals with their polos tucked in. The women in their nighties, slippers, purses strapped around them and holding on to their cats.

Back to Blogging.....

Hi IM BACK!

Hey, its been a while....I guess life got in the way!

Quick update since Christmas.

Feb. Went to Alamosa, CO to Jason (Chris'brother) get married to Brittany. Wonderful time Wonderful Wedding. Saw Chris' family who we hadn't seen since our Wedding. Also saw some great friends and had a great time!

April--We received a free nights stay at a hotel in Portland, on the Columbia River, from a great couple! As well as a gift certificate to Buffalo Wild Wings! Yum! We decided to extend the stay by one night so it was a great weekend getaway on a great budget! Thanks to Heather and Scott!

AND the BEST PART of APRIL!!!!

Chris got a few job interviews, interviewed with Boys and Girls Club and got a job as the Athletic Director at a local club!

Memorial Day--MOVED OUT of my parents house!!! Yay!!!
This is our new place....45 bedrooms 30 Fridges and 50 bathrooms. Ok, Ours is a 3bedroom 3 bathroom, corner unit, overlooking the water (yes, Im gloating). Its actually on the opposite side of the building, but this gives you an idea. We were very lucky in finding this place, the rent had been reduced and it fit all our furniture!

The best thing about moving was we got to bring everything out of storage and reopen all our wedding gifts. I had forgotten about a few, I had no idea if we had a toaster or a blender, yes we did! It was great!

And...this picture gives you an idea of the type of people in our building.....


June 12-13th---I went to Spokane for a CEU course, and stayed with my friend Christine, got to visit her new house, their family lake house and enjoyed some sun!
