"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass ... it's about caring and loving your relatives
and friends while you can touch and see them, and they are still among us.

May you always walk in sunshine, my friend!!

Be especially kind to all you meet, each of us carries a burden that others can't see.



Taking Time to Enjoy a Date Night

Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful summer day.

We've been having some amazing weather here in the Pacific NW the last several days and with weather like this it puts me in the mood for a picnic or a nice walk along the beach with my hubby. So call it coincidence when I stumbled across an article today that is so true "Stay in Love, Keep Dating" at HowDoesShe. I am a true romantic and enjoy every moment that I can get holding hands while on a casual walk, snuggling at a movie or just enjoying a nice quite evening with my husband...but like the rest of us it doesn't seem to happen enough. With the normal everyday hustle & bustle of life that comes our way we usually are tired or to busy, or like she said can't afford it we end up skipping it...I like how she puts it, “Life brings some stress that can tend to interfere with marriages, and getting away just the two of you is a great way to communicate and just enjoy one another. Date nights are one small step towards a huge investment!”

So with that said hears to more date nights big or small, just take the time to enjoy each others company!

Happy Wednesday :)

Let Freedom Ring

My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.....

Today we celebrate our Freedom and our Independence, as we all go out and enjoy

 our get togethers and BBQ's lets all remember those you have fought for

that very freedom and not take what we have for granted. 

Happy 4th of July!!!

What a WONDERFUL Suprise!

For my job I train our new hires and I always worry that I haven't given them enough info. I never want them to feel like they don't know how to do their job. Well the last girl I worked with was training for the admin position at one of our locations that is probably 4 hours away. She came and stayed in the Portland area for the 2 weeks she was training and mirrored my schedule...where I went she went, she was very flexible and always positive. Thank goodness since one day our schedule changed 3 times...hehe. It was so wonderful to get to know her and I really enjoyed the time we had. We both were sad on the last day of her training because we knew we weren't  going to get to see each as often as we would like. As we were walking out to our cars we both were talking how weird it was going to be not seeing each other on a daily basis...she then ran to her car and then popped up with this beautiful pot with flowers that she had made for me. I couldn't believe it...I even joked with her that I was changing my colors outside to that pretty blue :) had did she know.

Well I just wanted to say THANK YOU Donya for such a wonderful surprise! It was a pleasure getting to know you and looking forward to seeing you soon!
