T for TOUR

We live in an area of Oregon were the soil is rich with nutrients, Olives and grapes grow here beautifully. Pacer and I are olive oil snobs so we have been on the search for the best of the best. We went to the Olio Nuevo festin Dayton at the Olive mill at Red Ridge farms. It was such a beautiful sunny day. We enjoyed the food pairings with each oil, and just wandering around the farm. It was an absolutely lovely day.

The ABC's of dating

We have a dating goal. I have made a list of dating ideas, and we have plans to finish them all before the end of the new year.  We don't have to do them in order alphabetically. But we have already started with a few last year.

Rolling skatin demons!

Friday, January 03, 2014 0 Comments
Oh to be young
I remember when I was sixteen years old, I owned these white quad skates with hot pink wheels and hot pink shoes laces. I was dancing queen on those suckers. I spent my evenings on the rink, playing with the boys. We had so much fun. The rink was our second home. Friendships were made and built solid. 
But nothing, nothing prepared me for skating in my late 30's. 
I'm sooooooooooooo not 16 anymore.
Pacer had a doctors appointment in Portland so I decided to surprise him with a date to the skating rink. So we get there amongst a few tweens getting ready to celebrate the night away for a birthday party. We giggled like little school kids. After putting those super sexy brown skates, I imagined in my head, getting up and rolling gracefully off and impressing my husby. YEA it didn't go that way. It was more like watching a dog in skates, so not graceful. And my word the pain in my hips. I am so not a spring chicken, nor any other season of chicken. 
We had so much for the whole half hour we there. We came home to lay on the couch and watch movies....more up to our speed.

Our Beautiful Christmas tree

Christmas in the house 

 I love Christmas time, the smells, the sights, the sounds, but this holiday season seem to fly by. I feel like I blinked and it was gone. My husby and I have been sick with the flu and sinus problems since Christmas day. It was a bummer, but it gave us the opportunity to just relax and take a load off. We celebrated the New year with a good deal of rest. SO I think we are done for quiet awhile. 
It was a real blast to have family here for the holidays. I will be posting more about that later. 

 It was so very sad to take down the tree, my husby had to do it. I was to attached to take it down. But this beautiful evergreen lasted the whole season, strong, and green. It sits outside of the house, as a reminder of the marvelous holiday.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

A big giant F

I love to blog, but I have proven to be not very good at it. 2013 proved to be a very busy year. With my calling as Primary President, my day care and converting into a preschool, my photography and graphic design business, and then lets take a look at all my hobbies… teaching myself to crochet, baking, arts and crafts, sewing, and of course lets not forget candy crush!
I just wish there were more hours in the day. I love my life, my family and especially my husby and our little furry family. 

Ok so the photo is improtu, we are in our jammies and forcing the animals to hang out on the bed all together. 

We have so many things planned for this year. So keep an eye on the blog. 2014 is gonna be a good year. I can just feel it.
