But really, I felt like we were back in Coos Bay. I say this with nothing but love in my voice and a certain care for what Coos Bay is and will always be... Home! I didn't know what to expect when Russ said that we were going to the monster truck show. All I knew is that Henry would be elated and this adventure would blow his almost 3 year-old mind. Well, it did just that! He just stared at the trucks in awe. He could barely blink his eyes! I was scared out of my mind for the first 10 minutes, but then was just actually amazed that we were sitting there, watching the "Grave Digger" and his friends demolish these junk yard cars. The video with my sheer joy and Henry's amazement...

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...

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...

25 things about me...
Rules:
Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged.
1. I am secretly obsessed with the color white.
2. I really try never ever to lie to anyone about anything. Honesty is key to who I am.
3. 75% of my day I am listening to some sort of piano music. It is in my bones.
4. I have one of the best jobs in the world designing and listening to music all day.
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.
5. I have serious issues with my house getting messy or out of whack. This is crazy because I have two small children and a husband that live in it too.
6. I ALWAYS make my bed, sometimes I end up making it two times a day.
7. I light candles all over my house within the fist 15 minutes of being home after work.
8. I can't drink more than 2 or 3 glasses of wine without being hung over in the morning.
9. I cry a lot when I am happy and sad.
10. Music is my biggest inspiration to get through any situation.
11. I hate my laundry room, but love my appliances.
12. I married my best friend and am very in love, but I still can't stand him some days.
13. Being a mother to my 2 babes is the hardest and the most rewarding thing I have ever done with my life.
14. I was out of control in high school and desperately wanted to be cool and with someone special, but pretended instead.
15. I have only had two real boyfriends in my life.
16. My neck hurts every day of my life. It's from my job.
17. I have taken sleeping pills for at least 10 years now and still have a hard time sleeping- what's up with that?
18. I am scared of almost everything in life. Especially people and what they are capable of doing.
19. I talk to my mother every morning on my way to work. She does not know how amazing she is.
20. I am with most of American people when I say that I have never felt like I was pretty or thin enough.
21. My husband has never called me a name other than something loving.
22. My sister and I are really competative and we don't know when to stop.
23. I have amazing girlfriends and family in my life. No doubt they would support me in any way, shape or form- I am blessed.
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.
