11 months and going strong!

Bryan and Andy are getting ready to celebrate the one year anniversary since the grand opening of their shop! They have come a long way, and recently made huge remodeling improvements to their office (among other ammenities within the shop to make doing their job a little easier :-)). They have been super busy in the past couple of weeks, but they sat down long enough for me to get these cute pics:

(oops, not working now...will try more later)

Bend: Farewell to Summer trip

Bryan and I found a new place to hang out. Usually we go to the beach once or twice a year, though we have never been to Bend. Its beautiful there and so much to do! Also, its only three hours away! (We are roughly 1.5 to 2 hrs from the coast, depending on where we go!). The last couple of summers we have been discovering little pockets of Oregon we haven't seen or been to in a long time. I would love to take him down to Crater Lake, Diamond Lake, Klamath Falls, etc, though that is a more lengthy drive, so it gets put off! And...there is that thing called work, which starts again tomorrow (trying to stave off the attacks of panic that should be flooding in the next couple weeks...really, I should be going to bed!)

Here are some pics!:

Here is what I still have to do:

16 1/2 days left of my summer and here are big ambitions for biding that time:

1. Organize our budget
2. Change all our addresses (its only been 3 1/2 months since moving!)
3. Clean out the files (hardcopy and emails, favorite websites, etc on the computer) and secure the important ones on an external harddrive
4. Recipes: organize and plan
5. Read (still have a huge stack of newspaper articles, magazines, books...)
6. (exercise!)
7. Pictures: order, organize, frame, back up on external harddrive
8. Figure out what classes to take for my continuing education credits for my license
9. Update gps, blackberry (i hate technology)
10. Take more time to write.
