forcing myself to take five to update you all on my life!

June is already upon us! HOW did that happen? Where did April and May go? Did I have any fun? get anything accomplished. Not as much as I hoped but today (finally) I signed all the final paper work for the house!!! I need to get a permit and we will get started the first week in July!! I am leaving for vaca Thursday so the permit wont get applied for till I get back so as soon as that goes through we are good to go! SOOO excited! can you tell? Its been a long process and I have learned so very much. I am so proud of myself for doing this all on my own and having the guts to do all that needs to be done!

Heading to Seattle this weekend, going to be visiting my BFF. She has been in my life for EVER...Over 21 years. We met the summer between my first and second grade. She lived in the same apartments as my father and we became pretty tight. We have never gone to the same school or even lived in the same city at most times, but we are still good friends and I LOVE visiting her! OH did I mention she is a scrapper too and thats a big plus in my book! We are going to the Woodland Park Zoo and my kids are excited as all get out! Sunday my mother is going to pick us up from the ferry and we head to Olympic peninsula where she lives. We plan to do some sight seeing, beach combing (LOVE sea glass) and some relaxing and catching up. She hasn't seen the boys since summer of 05 so I think she is ready. I saw her this last Christmas but the boys didn't come because they were at their fathers. they have grown so much I think she will be surprised!

I am also hoping to see a friend of mine that I met a while back from the creating keepsakes message board. She is so fun and I love being around her so hopefully we can make it happen! She lives in the same town as my mother and her addiction to scrapping is about where mine is! Amazing...lol...Love ya Donna!!

So thats how it goes in my neck of the woods!
