Happy Birthday Lil Sis!

Today my sister is 25! No, really. She was born on April Fool's Day. I had lots of fun with that as a kid, but that wore off rather quickly. You can only give so many rocks before it starts to loose it's purpose.

Today she's actually in Portland for a job fair. I'm praying hard she'll get an amazing offer up here and move this summer. I'd love to live with her again. She was bummed the fair was today as she's waited 3 years to celebrate her birthday with her students. She's got all sorts of tricks planned. Lucky for her she'll be back tomorrow and the kids are all planning to celebrate with her then.
Last night we went out for dinner with a bunch of friends. We had a great time! I'll add pictures later.
So my sister is 25. A quarter of a century old. She's amazing.
Love you Stess!

Mi Primera Fin de Semana en Espana - My first weekend in Spain

This was my first view from my hotel when I arrived on Friday afternoon:  After a short nap, MUCH needed but short because I did want to sleep later that night, this was the view that I woke to... The clouds had burned away and it was SO beautiful! There's a beautiful walkway along the ocean. People are always walking, running and biking along it. I discovered that, though I'd bought an adapter at home, it was not the correct one for Spain. So I headed out to explore and with one thing in mind. Stopping first at the reception desk, I exchanged some money and asked for directions to a location where I could purchase said adapter. Thankfully they had a map that they gave me and pointed out a store just up the street that would probably have what I was looking for. Before walking up the streets in search, I stopped to admire the view closer.  This statue is located right outside of the hotel. Here's a close up:   As I sat in this area I obviously l...

Barn Party 2007

I had a great time tonight at the 3rd Annual Barn Party! For the first time I entered into the chili contest and the pie contest. I was quite surprised to actually win both! Of course, mine was the only fruit pie, but I was up against some tough competition with spicy chili. Especially since I don't really like chili, or spicy stuff. I had Crista taste it first, and then another friend. I actually didn't taste it until after Stess had put some in her bowl. Wow it was spicy! I do have a funny story to go along with my items. Pictures are worth a thousand words, unfortunately I don't have a picture of this, so you'll have to use your imagination. On the way to the party Stess had the crock pot of Chili sitting in a large cardboard box on her lap. In her hand was the pie in it's pie plate. We were driving her little Mustang and I was driving, trying to do so carefully so as not to spill the chili or dump the pie. We went up a small hill and realized that the chili wa...
