The SLO life.

For years, our favorite place in the world to visit has been San Luis Obispo, CA. We were first introduced to this wonderful city when we stayed at the Apple Farm. This lead us to the actual exploration of the city itself. We have walked Monterey and Higuera more times than I can count. We [...]

The Last Day

This day is definitely bitter sweet. It is a day that I’ve been looking forward to for about a year. I had hit burn out pretty badly after 9 years as a Behavior Aide and had decided to take a year off. Then 4 weeks ago, God sent our life into warp drive! Rob has [...]

Sadness.

I sit here, staring at my computer screen, not know what to say. I have soooo many things spinning around in my head, I just can’t seem to make sense of them. My sweet Grandpa passed away last Thursday. But he was more than a Grandpa, he and Grandma basically raised my sisters and I [...]

Rainy days…

It is kind of sad that I’m always amazed by the first real rain of the year. We have such a long, hot summer that I tend to forget how wonderfully refreshing it is. One of my favorite smells is new rain on the ground. Right now, I should be getting ready to go to [...]

October

Good morning! It is Sunday and better yet, the 2nd day in my week long vacation. What to do…what to do… It’s hard to figure it out. It’s one of those things where what I want to do and what I SHOULD do are two completely different things. Paint the entryway…scrapbook….work on my budget (ugh)…hmmm. [...]

I have read several blogs lately that were wonderfully inspiring, so dare I try? I figure it can’t be any worse than not doing it so, ok…I’ll [...]
