And so it begins...

My marathon weekend begins today. I help out in Nephi's class on Fridays. Then I get to go to our insurance company to find out WHY we keep getting statements saying we don't have enough flood insurance. ARGH! We are not covering our entire property amount - just the house. Why you ask? Because Russell puts it like this..."We are not covering flood loss for every blade of grass!" Then we will whisk Christopher off to get his eyes checked. IF we are really lucky (and Chris is hoping with his fingers crossed) he will not have to wear them anymore. THEN I have cub scouts after school today. Then I can come home and relax for awhile. That's for today.
Tomorrow I get to head on down to Lincoln City for a Camp Manager Conference. I am the program director for Tillamook County Day Camp and all the camp leaders from the council get together to toss around ideas, get information, OSHA rules, etc. I am not stressed about the ACTUAL meeting. Just GETTING there. My eyesight in the dark has decreased significantly over the past several months. If it's not foggy (a rarity on the coast) I should be okay. I don't know my way around Lincoln City but I have a map. I might have to be late and leave early so I can drive while there is daylight. We shall wait and see.

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
