Will you be a Johnny today?

I found this through another blog and thought it was touching. The sun is shining here, I have the doors and windows open, and this helped lighten the mood that much more. Enjoy!

I'm back!

I can't believe how much time has passed since I last posted. I have been pretty busy, have gone to Eastern Oregon once, suffered through sinus infections, and Valentine's Day parties. But I am still alive, and thought I would share our recent trip to the Oregon Coast. We stayed with Brandon's family right on the beach and enjoyed beautiful weather. I got the rest I needed, and Brandon had the opportunity to take his boat out for the first time in months. Our dog as many of you know is like our baby, and our baby LOVES the ocean. So we took him down a couple of times to play in the water. He can't get enough of it! Here is a video of Duke playing fetch with a tennis ball in the waves. If you listen you will hear commentary from our family, and an Oregon Coast Guard hellicopter fly over. Enjoy!

ME

Ever stop and think about those comments that your friends make that just are the opposite of what you think? Or even random people in your life... they say one thing and you are thinking another thing. Well, this post is dedicated to those thoughts.
Like for instance.... this makes me, me.

• MOST people like their blue jeans best after they have worn them a few times. Not me, I like them fresh off the ironing board/drycleaning bag.
• MOST people would enjoy only washing their hair every other day. NOT me. I'm an every morning kinda gal.
• When people complain about having to buy a gift for someone, I'm thinking, "Wahoo!"
• I enjoy my drive up the mountain each day, while I hear others complaining about driving.
• and how about writing cards. While we all enjoy GETTING cards, I actually enjoy sending them.
• Ever heard someone complain of the rain (this will make you laugh), I welcome a fresh rain. I think it is refreshing and comforting.
• Vacuuming, anyone? YES please!
• Driving in snow. Most hate it. I like it.
• While most people enjoy a fresh piece of fruit... I DO NOT like fruit- at all.
• We all know we SHOULD exercise, and most people have excuses... I really dislike it. period.
• While most people don't like making thier bed in the morning. I actually enjoy it. I know that when I get home my bed will look nice and neat. And should I get robbed or sent to the hospital, whomever sees my house while I am away will see that I make my bed each morning. Now that's comforting. =)

These are just a few of the comments that come to mind when I think of this topic. What spurred this is the blue jean debate. I have heard people refer to how happy they are about wearing their blue jeans for the 3rd day in a row several times in teh past few days. Each time I hear it, I just think... ew! I don't like mine by then.

I know, strange.. but these are a few of things that make me, me. Happy Friday!
