My new position...

I have an announcement!!!! I have recently accepted a new position with Henry & Saylor INC. Yes, you guessed it. I have given my formal letter of resignation to PCC, effective April 3rd. I figured that now is as good of time as any to really get involved and have a big hand in shaping who Henry and Saylor will be. I just love these babes so much and the timing is right! Of course, I will not be giving up my slacks, heels and accessories... I am going to try my hand at freelance design and hopefully get my foot into the door of interior design. It's a major love of mine and I feel like it's time to give it a shot! So, please keep me in mind if you have a "before" room that needs a stunning "after!" Loves...

Halloween...

I forgot to post these... Here is Henry as Joe Dirt for Halloween. Saylor was a cutie kitty! Trick or Treat...

Now this is camping...

Russ traveled to Bend today to pick up our new trailer. Truthfully, it looks more like a second home. Bunkbeds, flat screen, aero bed couch and so much more. Seriously, it's crazy! If anyone out there is interested in taking advantage of the fact that they are practically giving these things away... do it, NOW! We got a great deal and are really excited for all the great years of camping ahead of us. It's not exactly how our parents and their parents grew up camping, aka "roughing it," but truthfully we feel pretty blessed to have the opportunity to camp in such convenient style. Great memories are ahead...

This and that...

Cheers to vacation! What's vacation...

So we went to Sunriver for a family vacation. We went ice skating, sledding, hot tubbing, hiking and most of all, just really had fun. It was the last night we were there and we went out to a nice dinner with the kiddos. We had our glasses of wine up for a toast and included Henry in a "cheers to vacation." So he says... "Cheers to vacation" then, pauses and says, "dad, what's a vacation?" It was priceless! WE had a great time and can't wait for our next adventure. To the good times...

4. I have always wished and thought that I was suppose to be famous for something, but can't figure out what the hell it would be for.

24. If anything were to ever happen to my children I would not be able to cope.
25. I can sing really well and love to, but could never go anywhere with it because I can't ever retain the words to the song. Karaoke is the only thing I will ever be able to do with my singing.

Obama, Obama, Obama...

Today I cried tears of joy while I watched the 44th President of the United States take his oath. It was a packed house here at PCC and the whole mall area was filled with people. You could feel the overwhelming sensation of happiness and pure hope as President Obama took his oath. Everyone was clapping like we were in D.C. with the sea of people who were there. We threw red, white and blue confetti as he ended his oath. I truly believe that Saylor and Henry will have brighter futures because of this special man. Our household voted Obama... bring on the change...
