The Heels

I got these heels awhile ago for $15, originally like $75! I wore them yesterday for the first time.....Aren't they FANTASTIC!

Diary of a freaker-outer

In a previous blog I mentioned my stress or anxiety issues, so heres basically a dairy of what this looks like:
I Love to plan, I'd like to say that I have learned that planning doesn't work, but I have not learned this, only acknowleged that I can plan on my plans occassionally not going according to plan. So I think things like so: I'm 25, I want to go back to school and I need to have babies soon, I'm excited for this and then very fearful, what will happen to my traveling?, my running?, my quilting?, my marriage?, and not to mention the ideas in my head that I need a real house to have a baby. So in my unrealistic mind I make up this temporary plan to get pregnant at X time and then apply to school (while pregnant, but not too pregnant or they will know and not accept me) at Y time, so that I can have the baby right before school would start, (okay now all mothers can laugh together). But heres the kicker, I need to NOT be in NV to go to school, theres no anaesthesia schools here. So that means we need to move to either CA, WA or OR (all have schools and Adam, or GBA rather, have licenses here). However, my moving does not depend upon me, no why would it, I'm not 18 anymore, it depends upon life. Or in other words, things out of my control! Like GBA's growth and wether or not, even when it is big enough, we can realistically move to where I can go to school. Plus, you never know whats gonna keep you somewhere. So then that takes you back to the house thing....So, if were here for lets say 2 more years, which is probably realistic, then we rent for 2 years....no plans to buy?.?. But what if that 2 years turns into 5,6,7, etc.!!! And we should have just boughten! And if we are here that long, I plan on retaking statistics before I apply to school, but you have to take it within 5 yrs of applying, so how do I know when to retake statistics? And keeping in mind most people don't get accepted into school the first time, especially to the places I want to apply. So, these are legitimate concerns right? And before I do all this I need to travel to a few key places before my life gets turned around... Like Hawaii, Napa Valley, Disneyland (happening in May!), and Yosemite.

Friday Harbor

This blog is about our wonderful visit to Friday Harbor, but first heres Adam's leg:

He had a plate and some screws removed that had placed about 4 yrs ago when at the Haws' Adam landed on his ankle while catching a touchdown pass (as the story is told) in an early morning Thanksgiving football game. Hopefully he'll feel better when he plays basketball now!

Gary and Margo (Adam's parents) came to WA to visit! They live in Alaska on the Alutian Islands in the Bering Sea! So, Adam and I were lucky enough to go see them while they were home in Friday Harbor. This is Adam's family, with his two brothers Jeremy and Bryan.




We did family pictures and these are just some sloppy wanabes till we get the real ones.

Cousins Jared and Melissa and little Myles. We lived with them for two summers while in college. We missed them and it was great to see myles whom we hadn't seen since our wedding, which was like 3 days after he was born.

The big family dinner! It apparently took 6 guys to run the BBQ

We used the community church to eat and celebrate 4 March birthdays
Gary's, Allison's and Adam's, and Jason's, Adam's friend..... he's pretty much a part of the family.

Not the best picture, but all the girls. Heather (Ali's sister), Melissa, me, Allison and Margo.
We played sharades, Boys V Girls. The boys actually did better than expected.

FH Highschool has an open gym night so the Posenjak boys and the Allens got into an intense Bball game. Adam did this with his 3 week post-op ankle, I about died! The girls watched and Dillan and I played one on one.....he beat me

Frisbee Golf

Adam's birthday!!! The big 2-6. He has never had an ice-cream cake and always wanted one, so thats what he got.

Being with family was great as usual. Bryan and Allison were so great and let us all stay there, even though it meant Ali had to sweep like 12 times a day! Adam hadn't been on the Island or seen family in such a long time, I know it meant a lot to him and me, thank you Gary and Margo!

Craft Day

Adam, Kaylee and I had a craft day one cloudy tuesday afternoon. Kaylee crotched, I quilted and Adam tied flies. We drank hot tea and ate gummy lifesavers!

Here's my latest quilt-

An upclose corner

Another upclose corner, I did 2 pink and 2 brown

Hope Community

So we have been going to this new community church down the street, and we really like it. We are not members yet, or "partners" as they call it, but we are pretty sure we are going to make that commitment! We've met some special people. It's very exciting and for Adam and I, it's exactly what we have been praying for. This last Sunday we had a sermon on money and finances. I actually love this topic because at least for me, it's huge, it has so much to do with letting God take control and as the verse goes: where your treasures are, your heart is. I really feel that God has been working on my control and anxiety problems for as long as I have been a Christ follower. I love to control my situations and know outcomes of decisions I make, unfortunatley that comes with thinking a lot of times that I know more than God about whats good for my life. I don't realize I'm doing this but it really shows when you look at how money is managed. I heard it put so wonderfully like this: "Making decisions on your own and controlling your own situations is great, until you realize that without Christ your never gonna be who you were made to be and you only have yourself to blame". Were very excited about this, and are so grateful that we are growing in our relationship with Christ! Check out our potential new community of believers. www.encounterhope.org

My Personal Girls Weekend

Adam was in TX this weekend visiting his bestfriend, and of course it worked out that I had all the days off that he was gone :( but I did what any wife left home alone would do. Thursday night went bowling with some work friends, Friday candel making and Bunco with girlfriends from work. Saturday was all quillting, and a breif visit to Victoria Secret with a girlfriend. I Spent about 2hrs at Joannes and picked up a new project, scarf making. That night I went to Kaylee's and had dinner with her, her parents and her new roommate, then had a slumber party over there. Sunday Church, then a BBQ- which included a long walk through the park (husbands never like to take walks!) volleyball game and then the rest of the night, quilting of course. But tonight I pick him up, so today is cleaning! No pictures cause, nothing exciting.....sometimes thats nice.
