Checking In!

The last several weeks have been pretty busy for me. Work is always busy, (but that is expected) and besides, this is not about work, anyway.

Two weeks ago I went to Jacqueline and Mike's house because Baby Maya was blessed. Most of the family showed up, which is always one of my favorite all-time situations.

My family is incredibly awesome, even if I say so myself. We might not all have the same opinion or idea of how things should be, but as a rule, we do not let our differences interfere with the fact that we are family.

There are always lots of kids around when we get together as a family. That is probably one of my favorite things about us. Here are some of those kids.

The following week I went to a scrapbooking convention with my friend Tracy. I don't think that Darrell was fully prepared for how long this day might be for me. I left home shortly after 7:00a and then Darrell and his mom and brother met me there after 4:00p. It took that long to get through the entire exhibit hall. I saw some very neat products and some beautiful scrapbook pages, which I photographed so that I would be able to remember them later.

I will share a bit about the baseball game and also about the conference I went to in Palm Springs soon!

Posting Quest

Okay, I think that it has been a month or more since I first posted. I have had a busy life lately, but in spite of the "busy-ness" I don't have much to write about.
Since I work in a hospital, a large part of my day is not publishable, what with those pesky patient privacy rights, and all that...
So I will make it my quest to find something interesting everyday to post about! Yay! A new goal...
For today I will mention that I watched my first bit of politics on TV for the entire year last night in the form of Sarah Palin's speech. As a member of Toastmaster's, all I can say is WOW! Great job! She is very articulate, she had great timing, and she has a beautiful family. I will have to look a little deeper into her and what she is about. I have to admit that this year I have been very on the fence about who I was going to vote for and Obama's choice for running mate did nothing to sway me. I was concerned that McCain's choice was simply a semi-stunt, but I have to admit, she impressed me last night.
Anyway, enough of that crap - this is not a political blog!

First Post!

Hi! This is my first post to our official blog. Last week, while spending time with my family in California, I learned that I am "out of the loop" since I don't have a blog.
I will try my best to create interesting things to blog about...
