Hello my friends! This will be the last post for a little while. My flight for Seattle leaves shortly after noon. I'm pretty excited, yet nervous at the same time. I am excited to visit a "new" city. I'm nervous about doing it alone. I'll be heading to my partner branch tomorrow morning and will be working 6 days with them. Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday will be free time. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I do plan on getting to the water during low tide. I am looking forward to exploring the sea life.
Well... have a great week everyone!

The theme for the week is zoom blur. This was new to me.. this zoom blur. I did it in a hurry. I don't care for the look. But it was new. I tried it. Maybe a different subject would be better.
This is the remains of my birthday bouquet. The daisies and mums out-lived all other flowers. Funny thing... I kept smelling this gawd awful smell in one of my rooms. I thought it was the carpet or something. Turns out it was this bouquet. There were smelly lilies in it. My room smells fresh again! I pitched the lilies.

I think I can breathe now...

Tuesday morning I walked into work and my most favorite auditor followed me in. No.. the branch audit is not something I look forward to but I'm glad it was her. She left today with only a few reportable issues. The most important or highest risk had no reportable issues. I'm happy. I have up to 14 days until I hear the final score. I may be in Seattle so I gave her my cell phone # and told her to only call with good news! ha ha

Just testing.

The theme for this week is spending money.
Oh I can spend money... just ask my husband. Shopping is therapy for me. I go to Target on my lunch hour just to relax. I really need to find another way to relax! I spend money on the kids more than I do myself as you can see by this photo.

In honor of Mother's Day I thought I'd get my 52 week shot with my kids. The theme this week is "hard at work". This shows the result of my hard work. I've got to say these are two of the best kids. I'm proud of them both! ♥

This was her second time doing this. She ended up in 3rd place at this meet. She was so cute because she didn't think she was going to do very well. After they raised the bar the 2nd time she told me that she can do better than she thought. Her final height was 3ft 4in. She is going to practice hard tomorrow. She wants to get much better.

The theme this week is to take a photo 50 steps from your door. This is of a tree in my yard. I love this tree at this time of year. Soon all those pink blooms will fade.
Life has been, as usual, pretty busy. Friday morning I went to David's school. It was to honor all the 9th, 10th, and 11th graders who have maintained a 3.333 gpa all year. I am happy to say that I went because David did! YAY!! I am so proud of him. He got a pin and an Academic Letter, you know the ones that look like a Varsity Letter. I need to get a picture of him with it.
