We haven’t had a whole lot going on, but I had a few people bring up the fact that we haven’t blogged in a while. Last weekend we house-sat for Dan’s dad. Paul went to Arizona and Mexico for a week. A much needed vacation. So we spent most of last weekend spring cleaning his house and helping Dion and Candy move. Unfortunately we had to miss Jackson’s Birthday party and missed seeing everyone. We were both really looking forward to it and were so upset that we weren’t able to make it. Living south of most of our friends is not always easy. Hopefully our friends can understand this and not take it personal. We really do miss you all very much!! Summer shall bring longer days and more opportunity to get together. (Hopefully)

A couple weekends ago, Alyssa went to a really cute spa in Bellevue with her Girl Scout Troop. They all got makeovers and manicures. They were also sent home with bags full of goodies. She had so much fun. We really do love the opportunities that Girl Scouts gives her. She has been doing very well in school. Next month her and I get to go to Tillicum Village for a class field trip. A trip we have been looking forward to all year.

I have been very busy at work. I was able to work on a High School Blood Drive on Monday. Those are always quite interesting. It makes me very grateful to not be in high school any more. The drama that goes on is just amazing. And to see the way the girls treat each other is heartbreaking. I’m sure we were all there at some point in our lives; I think its part of growing up. Now I see why my mother always taught me to treat others as I wanted to be treated. It is now my job to teach Alyssa how to treat people and hope that she isn’t treated like a lot of those poor girls. She already shows the caring side of her at school. She gets very sad when children mistreat other kids. She is the one that will make friends with them no matter what other people think. She even wanted to give one of her classmates $10 because his parents didn’t have any money. She always seems to amaze us with her big heart. We are so proud of her.

That is all for now, we have yet another busy weekend ahead of us… so be expecting an update early next week. We hope you all have a GREAT weekend!!! Lots of Love…
