Well, I am so excited because the school principal stopped me in the hall yesterday to let me know that the budget looks good for me for next year!! I was worried about what I was going to do. When I applied for this job I knew it was temporary but, I was holding out hope that the budget would allow for me to come back. Well, it looks like they may be able to hire another EA also!

Marc and I are heading to Hood River this weekend for a Hunter's Ed conference. It should be fun, a lot of relaxing and shopping on my part. I am looking forward to just hanging out. Especially since we worked so hard last weekend around the house. Donna (our neighbor, and surrogate grandmother for the boys) and I went plant shopping and got some great new plants for the flower bed between us. Marc and I bought a new tree for the front yard and he replaced a lot of the bad sod in the yard. Painting is suppose to start this Thursday but, the weather report is calling for rain, so we will see.

Longboard Louie's Eastside is open!!!
We helped Jeff and Kathi a little last week and were rewarded with a free meal over the weekend. I have to say that the Halibut Enchilada was my favorite!!! The prices are reasonable and Jeff is planning on having seasonal Margaritas!!! This weeks is Blood Orange Margaritas!! They are awesome! We even went in on Sunday just to have a couple more and chill out from a busy weekend! If you get the chance you ought to stop and say hi to Wendy, she is so nice and serves up a great fish taco!!!

On the scrapbooking side of things, I entered another contest. One through Creating Keepsakes mag. It is called Fresh Faces, basically it is a call for un-published scrappers to be highlighted in the mag. I entered the allowable two layouts and I am hoping for the best!!! One of my biggest goals in life is to be published in Creating Keepsakes magazine.

It should be a blast, they blow up hot water bottles with their mouths, break bats with their hands and break bricks with their heads!! It starts Wednesday night and the finale is Sunday night. I hope we see you there!!!

Make the most of every day!!!
