Oregon Coast...


was so beautiful. The weather was amazing for October, walked around in a t-shirt most of the time. Stopped in Depoe Bay on Friday and watched a whale in the bay was not able to get a photo though, but really enjoyed seeing one that close to shore. Went to my favorite pottery store in Lincoln City and spent to much of course but I at least started my Christmas shopping. Spent most of Saturday at the out let mall, found some great deals and bought some new outfits for winter. Had a great time with gram and gramp, was happy to have spent sometime with them before the weather gets bad and I would not have been able to travel to see them. Went to see Vicki and Mel's place in Lincoln City but they where not home:( sorry that we missed each other. Went an saw Jo and Dale Mallicoat at there new condo on the ocean, o'my gosh the view is to kill for. They have a great view of the beach all day long.

Road Trip...


to the Oregon Coast. I am so excited to finally go see my grandparents in Lincoln City, Oregon on the beautiful Oregon Coast. Mom and I leave today after she gets off of work. Even with the rain I am looking forward to getting out of Hermiston for a few days. Am so happy to go shopping while I am gone . Going to the Paper Zone in Salem, the Outlet Mall in Lincoln City along with the two scrapbook stores and some shopping in Newport. And the best part is having dinner at Dory Cove in Lincoln City. Corey if you see this I Love You :) and will miss you and Thor.

Relay For Life University

This is Jeff Noland he lives in Portland, Oregon. He is fighting cancer. He was a guest speaker on Saturday. His story is sad and made me cry but I was touched that he was able to get up there and tell us his story. To share his journey, a journey that is a fight each day. There is no cure for his cancer. Thank you Jeff for sharing your story with us.
Thank you to our staff partners who work so hard along side us to have a great event.


A thank you to the Cancer Survivors you are the reason why I volenteer to help find the cure.






Spent Friday and Saturday in Post Fall, ID at a American Cancer Society training for Relay For Life. I had a blast was able to meet new people and talk with friends that I have made the last few years attending this event. In Friday's breakout I attended Communication is the Key!! Learned how to make sure that all volunteer's and teams have all the information that they need to have a great success. Saturday's first breakout went to Online Communication & Technical Chairs, Hermiston may become a online event along with offline. This was all new information for me. As of right now Hermiston is not a online event, as of today we still do not know if we will be an online event. Then in my last breakout for Saturday was Hook,Line and Sinker(how to sell Relay)I also was able to work on my "Why I Relay".

I had so much fun in Post Falls. The hotel was so cool, I had a nice room on the ground floor with a door out onto a patio that over looked the Snake River. I had a king size bed all to myself with 6 pillows. I want to go back to there and spend a weekend with Corey.

Virgo

I don't read my horoscope a lot because 1/2 the time I don't think it applies to me. But for some reason this one got me thinking. That I am very lucky to have the life I have with Corey and Thor. Corey is my rock and keeps me centered, I love this man more then words can say. Even though Thor is just a dog she is so much apart of our family, that Corey and I don't know what we would do without her now. She can be my sounding board at times, she just looks at you with a look of everything will be okay you'll see. I am so grateful for a nice home, a good job, my friends, family and a hobby that lets me tell a story about me and my life. So why would I question anything about it? It's not boring to be normal or the same or to do the same thing over and over again and again. It's just how I am and how my life has led me down this path right now, but the path may have a fork in it up the road what will I do then. Only time will tell when I reach that fork, when ever that may be.


If your lifestyle is considerably different then others, resist feeling self-conscious about this today, dear Virgo. Try to remember that you chose the life you have for specific reasons. Even if you've come to a point that you are considering a change, there is no need to feel bad, ashamed, or embarrassed about where you're at now. Everyone has to make their own way, and if this conforms to the norm, that's fine. If if doesn't, that's fine too.

Stacy's Right Now 7 Favorite






This was a challenge from Ali Edwards blog.miniBOOK :

AEzine ChallengeAEzine Challenge for the week of September 24, 2006: Your challenge this week was/is to use wallet photos to create a miniBOOK about your five fabulous favorites right now. Pick everyday favorites - simple stuff like your cozy fleece jacket, your hand cream, your electric toothbrush, your favorite CD of the moment, and your drink of choice. Maybe step out of your own personal box by using non-photos or a mixture of photos + ephemera. (I am looking at a pastry bag from Starbucks sitting on the seat next to me thinking that would make a great visual for one of my favorites right now.)If you don't feel like making something about yourself this week then ask your partner or child to name five of their favorite things right now and document those instead.Go for "mini" overall. Small photos + small album = BIG goodness.

I could not just do 5 had to change it up a bit so I have 7. Here are a few pictures of mine!!!
