Hey Kids SYP

The worst question I hate to answer is...where do you work? I hate it b/c I say I work with Hey Kids! and 99.9% of the time, I'll get the second most dreaded question...what's that? Ugh....well anyways...I had a blast today at work. My job title is Coordinator of the Hey Kids Summer Youth Program. It's only a part time summer job. We do 8 weeks of program at 6 different sites around Othello. We 6 different presenters for 6 weeks and the other two weeks we go fishing and we go to the wildlife refuge.
Anyways...today was our 4th day to the wildlife refuge and I found this little guy just crawling around...so I had to pick him up :) The kids each had a turn touching him, it was fun. It's a black beetle, check him out, I named him Blacky :)

Oh my, how the time flies!

July 21, 2007...that, by far, has been the best day of my life, this day, my friends, I married my best friend, my partner for life! My loving husband, Abner has made me the happiest person ever. God has blessed our lives with so many amazing things in one year, it's hard to count and/or mention all of them!

Anywho, Abner and I had the chance to go to Leavenworth this weekend for our anniversary, we had a blast! We went miniture golfing, watched a movie and went to a dam and saw some fish jumping! It was fun to do so many things. My favorite thing, by far, however, was the time spent in the car with Abner, just chatting. I Love him so much, he truly completes my life and I couldn't have asked for a better person to share my life with. He spoils me rotten, he loves me more than I could ever imagine, and I can honestly say that I am the happiest person in the world. A lot of people say that your first year of marriage is the toughest, well, I'm here to say that, we have had our downs, but this has been the best year of my life. We are truly happier every day that goes by. Thanks to God, for all of our love and blessings he has provided.

Camping!

Our Garza side of the family decided to take a weekend camping trip over the 4th of July weekend. Aside from the 13 kids and 13 adults, we had a pretty good time. We got eating alive by the stinkin' mosquitos, but we had fun! We did a lot of just sitting around and playing cards or talking, but that was the best part, to just relax!! We attempted to go up and check out Mt. St. Helens, but the road was blocked...So anywho, here are a few pictures from this weekend, enjoy!

Growing up...

So after so many failed attempts...on Thursday, July 3, I recieved a phone call from Shelly, who will be my new supervisor at the ESD 123! She called to offer me a position as the receptionist. I'm so excited...I will finally have a real full time job! One that will also help me pay for my school. Speaking of which, I will be a very busy woman beginning in the Fall, not only will I be working full time, but I will also be attending some night classes...it'll be tough, but with God and my awesome husband by my side, I can do it! So I will finish at my current position on August 15th, and will be starting at the ESD full time in August....I can't wait, I'm so excited!

New Compadres and a new Table!!

Woot, Woot!! I got my gorgeous table today...FINALLY!!!! It's so beautiful in fact, that I was already in bed, and I thought, what?! I havn't posted pictures of my awesome table so the world can see them yet! So I jumped out of bed just for you guys ;) Anyways, here it is, finally, the one piece of furniture I have been waiting for the most! The furniture store also threw in a really cool painting for us too, that we have now added to our walls as well!! Now, I can invite you guys over for dinner and not be embarrased of my tiny, scratched table! I am super duper excited as you can tell, and can't wait to share my new table with family and friends! Oh, and it's round (as you can see), so it makes for one perfect conversation table....or SkipBo table! hahaha
