8 Years...and still going strong!

Today we celebrated 8 years of marriage! I am blessed to have found such a loving husband, he is so very good to me! I love him very much and wonder often what I did to deserve someone so absolutely good to me :) We are truly soul mates no doubt about it!
We had dinner at Anthony's here in Bend. It was great, we sat at a table over looking the Deschutes River. We had surf and turf, Chad had a lobster tail and I had halibut, it was amazing! We had seared ahi for an appetizer so very yummy! We had my all time fav dessert, Fire Roasted Apple Bread Pudding, this was beyond amazing!

I am looking forward to many many years of adventures with my sweet husband!

A dream fulfilled...

I graduated today from Weber State University. My sweet husband, my wonderful daughters and my grandchildren as well as a wonderful niece Leann were there to witness as I received my diploma! I am so thrilled to have finally accomplished this milestone in my life...since I was a little girl I wanted a college degree and I wanted my mom to witness it however she wasn't able to be here but she does know that I walked today! My wonderful sis Patti had a small party for me at her house, our daughters Jennifer and Sarah as well as their children, our son and daughter Jake and Tina, their three kiddos were also there along with Leann and Laurel two of our very favorite nieces! We had some great food and lots of conversations and many many well wishes and congrats...there is a funny story about this day but I'll share it later as soon as I have the photos..Jennifer was assigned to be the photographer today so I'm waiting on her to send me the photos! Now on to my next goal.....??

Graduation is Party Time!!

I am so excited...graduation is in 16 days!! I love my "sister" Pat, she is the best! She is so good to us! She has offered to have a little graduation party for me while we are in Utah! I am so excited to visit with family and share my excitement with them! Sure hope the weather is cooperative as we're going to be grilling and having a great time! Wow, gotta send out party invites! I'm out!
