WICKED!

This is my third time seeing WICKED. First on Broadway with my husband in 07. Second in Portland with Lindsey in 09. And now again with my husband this past week, then followed by the cast party-Thanks to OSA! (my old job)
We had amazing seats at The Hult, accompanied by all of our work friends...And the night was a blast!
We got our picture taken at the cast party.....It was Jonathan's idea, but now he says we should burn it...

Me and my coworkers~WICKED~

I have to mention that we all look pretty good for laughing as hard as we were. I had just fallen off the back of the stage right before we took the picture and I'm really thankful I didn't knock the whole thing over. (ok so I didn't "fall" but landed right on my feet). My stomach still turns at the feeling of if that would have happend!

Strange and Funny Things

I was on my way to Winco today, as I pulled up to the stop light I was right next to a man sitting with his dog holding a sign. As I read the sign I realized he wasn't asking for money or food, but for a Female Companion (etc) (etc meaning nothing derogatory). My first thought: at least he knows what he wants. After a few 20 seconds or so I decided that maybe he would like some food even if he wasn't asking. So I rolled down my window and asked him if he wanted something to eat. He told me he couldn't hear me so I repeated myself, to which he replied that he still couldn't hear me but if I wanted go up to him I can tell him where I could meet him. I was trying to hold back my laughter. So I showed him my bag of food instead. He then obviously realized what I was asking. He did end up wanting the food and thanked me as well. But I still couldn't get over the fact that he really thought I wanted to maybe be his Female Companion!!! HAHAHA
This is not the first time something "strange" has happend when I tried to give a "homeless" person food.
One time I offered someone an apple and he looked at me and said..."No thanks, I dont have any teeth."

Friday Night

My (old) work had their annual Margarita Party tonight. Minus a couple of people and since me and Maggie are now stay at home mamas, I had to get a pic of the old gang and one with my best boss Shawn! <3

First try....A Success!

My first attempt at making Hollandaise sauce this morning. I'd say A+. Even if you do have to whip it until your arm is about to fall off...Then I got out the hand held mixer, poached a couple of eggs, heated up some turkey sausage and grape tomatos, and I had myself a very nice breakfast.

Ahh, Guernsey...

Recently I got a few friends together and started a book club! I've been itching to read a lot more and have a list of books I want to dive into. But for now it's one a month. Which is, in all honesty, all I can handle and so it's perfect. We just read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I think it is now by far one of my favorite books and I highly recommend picking this up!



It was very fitting we started the club off with this book. But you'll have to read it to know why because I'm not spoiling it.

Visit to Prineville

Recently me and Emy went east to visit Grandma and Grandpa/Mom and Nial in Prineville, Oregon. I drove in the evening so Emy could sleep the whole 3 hours. And she did, there and back. We made it in record time, leaving at 7:45pm and getting to my moms around 10:00pm. Mostly because the pass was completly clear of snow, and cars.








....But I'm sure glad we left when we did Satruday evening. Here's a pic of what the pass looked like on the way home

Jane & Nial 3-21-09

Here is a picture

of my mom and her new husband, Nial, on Christmas at our house... and one of her and us kids on her big day :) The wedding was very casual but very special. They were married at my Grandparents house in Springfield with around 60 guests/supporters.

The weather was supposed to be rainy but we prayed alot and God cleared the day for us from 1-5pm!!

My mom and Nial went to school w/ eachother since 7th grade and both of there parents graduated together from Springfield High. They met up again in Oct. of 2008. God has had a special hand in their lives; they are involved in a "Restoration Study" at Springfiled Faith Center

where they were also recently baptised in the Holy Spirit.

Nial and his family are very sweet and very close. Praise Jesus

for bringing them together and providing for them for all these years.
