Fun Day!So, Steve and I had a crazy Saturday a few weekends ago. I've had my Acura for 6 years now, and it really has been a great car. Probably my favorite car to own so far. Steve on the other hand did not like that car. It drove him nuts that we had to put Premium Gas into it and then it only averaged 25 miles per gallon. For just a little 4 cylinder it wasn't the greatest gas mileage, but I didn't buy it to save gas, I bought it because it really was fun to drive. And gas prices weren't as high as they are now.<br />
<br />
So for 6 years I've been putting my foot down every time he tried to sell it. :) Then the other day I was looking at the value on Kelly Blue Book and noticed it had dropped about $5,000 since I had last looked. It had held it's value pretty well up until this point. It probably took a dip because it was at 63,000 miles, up over that 60,000 mile point. With that, and the money I was spending on gas and knowing it drove Steve nuts, I got to thinking. If I ever wanted to get another new car, now may be a good time to do it. It has been paid off for years, so I would be able to trade it in and not have to have a huge loan on a new car. So I decided to see what Steve thought. <br />
<br />
It took no twisting of any arm to get him to jump on board so we started looking. It took a few weeks, but we settled on either the Accord or the Camry. I liked the Accord a little better then the Camry. It felt like I was in my Acura only it was bigger and better gas mileage. But, I also really liked the Camry. They hold their value better and it's a fun car to drive, and they've really classed it up and given it some nice details.<br />
<br />
We headed into the Honda Dealership on a Saturday morning to crunch some numbers. They ended up giving me below invoice for the Accord and they gave me private party value for my Acura! This is one reason why I'm so picky with my car people! That thing still looked great and they were willing to bend over backwards to give me a great price to get it. <br />
<br />
When we told them it was a deal, the salesman walked away and I looked at Steve and said "Well they gave us such a great deal, you should get one too." Steve thought that was a great idea! So, we asked them what they'd give us for his Highlander. It wasn't to far off what we would have hoped to get. <br />
<br />
We went for lunch to talk about it, and decided to get Steve the Camry. We didn't need an SUV anymore because we have nothing to pull and honestly we've only used the third row seat once in the year and a half we owned it. The Camry would give us better gas mileage. Probably if it hadn't had black interior and a dark red exterior Steve would have kept it, but those two things drove him nuts.<br />
<br />
So we headed to Toyota to crunch some numbers. Sure enough they gave us invoice and a fair trade in price for his Highlander. And, the Camry wasn't much more then what the Highlander was worth. <br />
<br />
We started out at 8am and headed home at 8:30pm. We were exhausted, but when can you say you bought two new cars in one day?<br />

This 4th of July we headed to Kalispell MT. We all loaded into the Sequoia. Eight people, 2 dogs. That's how we roll! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Eric, Fay and I took our bikes. One day Eric and I headed out on an 18 mile ride. It was absolutely beautiful! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fay's Mom and Dad made us some great meals, we spent time swimming in Lake Blaine. We had a crazy fireworks show Steve and Eric put on. Two exploded on the ground, one tipped over and shot between the house and garage. (It was a little scary!) The fireworks are bigger in Montana! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rod took Kelly and Avery fishing one morning at Echo Lake. Rod caught 47 fish, Kelly ate 29, and Avery caught 16. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got to see all of Eric and Fay's old stomping grounds. Fay grew up there and they spent 4 1/2 years of their married life there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got to know Fay's Granny better and absolutely fell in love with her! She is hilarious. At some point I asked her what she thinks of Eric. She said, "I never know what to expect from Eric." I asked her what she thinks of Steve. She said, "OH....Steve is wonderful!" We all busted up laughing. Poor Eric, he can never catch a break.</div>

I did the "I Made The Grade" bike ride again this year on the Lewiston Grade. This is my third time participating in it. Last year I couldn't do it because I had just had my hysterectomy, but this year I was excited because I have my new bike and I was curious to see if I could improve my time at all. </div>

I did beat my last time by 10 minutes! For me that's pretty good. I made it up the hill in 1 hour, 44 minutes. Eric went with me and he beat me by 20 minutes. I expected this because he's so stinking fast. Can't wait for next year...</div>

The weather was pretty good, still a little chilly, but we made the most of it. The kids fished a lot and we had some fun campfires. Unfortunately Fay got really sick and spent half the weekend in bed. Hopefully that doesn't ruin it for her. It was as always completely crazy with the Benson's, but that's the way we like it.<span id="goog_1263569780"></span><br />

I love my in-laws. I could not have asked for a better Mother-in-Law. My Father-in-Law Chris (Steve's Stepdad) is about as nice as they come. We always have fun when they come to town. We smoked a lot of meat. Did some shopping and ate out at some fun restaurants. Can't wait for their next visit in August! This year we get to have them here twice. Yay!<br />

I know this will sound silly, but it will have to be my Lord, family and friends. Really all this "Stuff" doesn't matter much when you get down to it. Life is about relationship. It's about your relationship with the Creator, and then those that He puts in your life. Someday all my other "favorite things" will go bad or break. The one thing that will last are the eternal spiritual things in your life. So, I'll put some pictures of those that mean a lot to me and know that there are many more that mean a lot to me even if you don't make it on the photo list.</div>

He was all dressed up in slacks, dress shirt and tie. I love it. This is an exciting time in a persons life. It can also be scary. I'm proud of Keith and who he is becoming. <br />
<br />
Right now his plans are to take one class during the summer of 2013 and 2014. This will lessen his load in his Sr. year. He also plans on attending running start. I wish I could have done that in H.S. To graduate with your high school diploma and your Associates degree would have been great! Plus two year of college would be paid for! <br />
<br />
He is still talking about going into a Pharmaceutical career, but that could change. Whatever he does, I hope he is a light in this world for the Lord. <br />
<br />
Hope he remembers to breathe during his interview and I hope the manager at Carl's Jr. can see that Keith would be a good employee. <br />
<br />
Way to go Keith! I'm proud of you.Jessyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02966990296830732123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022866546566223331.post-38431096574335079842013-01-08T14:18:00.000-08:002013-01-08T14:18:05.553-08:00A Week Of My Favorite Things #4<b>Amazon Kindle!</b><br />
<b><br />
</b>I love this little devise! I love to read and this saves me from having to go to the library or buy books. I've downloaded 458 books and most of them have been free off Amazon. They have a great selection of free books, and I keep a wish list of my favorites I'd like to have and check often to see if they're on sale or free. <br />
<br />
I have the basic keyboard kindle. Unfortunately, I left it in my bed one night under the covers and when I went to get back into bed, my knee came down on the screen and turned half of the screen black! I was so upset. Amazon said there was no way to fix it and it no longer was covered under warranty. Lucky for me, my Dad had gotten my Mom one for Christmas one year and she had never used it, so she just gave it to me. I have such a sweet Mom. <br />
<br />
I've been eyeing the new paperwhite. It still has the great screen that looks like the book, you can still read it in the sunlight, but it has a built in light which would be great on nights I can't sleep but don't want to wake Steve up while reading in bed. One day I may upgrade. We'll see.<br />
<br />
Probably the only thing I don't like about it is the pictures when it's in sleep mode. One is of a half naked man and I always turn it back on and then off again when that one comes on. You can't change them or put your own on there. I think that's my only complaint.<br />
<br />
If you're thinking of getting a Kindle or the Nook, I will say I have the Nook on my iPad and look once in a while at their store and I am much more impressed with Amazon's book selection than Barnes and Noble. But I know people who have the Nook and really like that one too. <br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit16yFCdwwKY841S2Mdzm02_HaIBWSLiQ5FOD-V3FAEaNBIrbTTr4v0ldS5pUruajD08fOfBT1NT1q3Z6bdDF4RU0iIpPci5VQr-udMgRkjVbc-1SfEwi67VCgu9RdY0NZR06jcfOuLVI/s1600/178077_3660696350739_1209971579_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit16yFCdwwKY841S2Mdzm02_HaIBWSLiQ5FOD-V3FAEaNBIrbTTr4v0ldS5pUruajD08fOfBT1NT1q3Z6bdDF4RU0iIpPci5VQr-udMgRkjVbc-1SfEwi67VCgu9RdY0NZR06jcfOuLVI/s320/178077_3660696350739_1209971579_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyone who knows me knows this is my FAVORITE thing! <br />
<br />
I have two. One for rides with the kids and Bella. (Yes there is a basket on front to put the dog in) And the one pictured is for my serious rides. :)<br />
<br />
I didn't get a lot of riding in last summer due to a surgery and a lack of motivation after the surgery, but I look forward to putting in some serious miles again this Spring/Summer. My goal this year will be 1,000 miles by the end of the year. We'll see if I make it. I came close one year.<br />
<br />
My first organized ride is in June. "I Made The Grade" up the Lewiston Grade. It's a really fun and very challenging ride. <br />
<br />
When I'm on my bike I'm in my happy place. It's hard to remove the smile on my face. <br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Scentsy</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I was having a lot of problems remembering to blow out my candles when I left my home. I would have to call my neighbor Taunya and ask her to go into my house to make sure my candles were blown out A LOT! So, I've gotten rid of my candles and now I just burn Scentsy. <br />
<br />
I turn them on in the morning and then at night before bed I turn them out. If I leave, I can just leave them on and not worry about it. I love it! You can also set the warmers up on timers (like the ones you would use for Christmas Tree lights) and then you really don't have to think about them.<br />
<br />
I have two consultants that I use and I'll put links to their websites below. Sometimes if one doesn't have what I want the other person will. It's reasonably priced and my home smells oh so good! My favorite scent is probably Autumn Stroll, which you can't get right now, but I pretty much like anything with a cinnamon smell to it. <br />
<br />
I also love the scent disks for your car. They last forever!<br />
<br />
If you're interested in having a party so you can earn some cheep/free product, contact one of these ladies and they'll help you out. If you aren't in this area, you can always do a web party!<br />

I have loved hearing about her favorite things so I thought I'd do the same. <br />
<br />
My first is :<br />
<br />
<b>Liquid Chlorophyll</b><br />
<br />
For me, this stuff is sunshine in a bottle. I get it with peppermint oil in it to help a little with the taste, but this stuff is amazing! <br />
<br />
My Aunt suggested I start taking it and so I gave it a try. I'm hooked. It's the only supplement I've ever taken that I take consistently and continually. I always start out with good intentions to take vitamins but usually the bottle winds up half used in the bottom of my medicine drawer. Not this stuff!<br />
<br />
Benefits of Chlorophyll:<br />
1. <b>Chlorophyll is the best aid in gastrointestinal problems. </b> It aids in loosening and cleansing the colon. <br />
<br />
2. <b>Chlorophyll promotes formation of hemoglobin and red blood cells.</b> As we digest green food, the magnesium helps in rebuilding and replenishing the red blood cells which is responsible for boosting our energy. <br />
<br />
3. <b>Chlorophyll treats bad breath. </b>Chlorophyll acts as a deodorizer that eliminates bad odor. <br />
<br />
4. <b>Detoxify toxins that cause cancer.</b> Research found that the damaged genes caused by carcinogen substances can be prevented by chlorophyll. <br />
<br />
5. <b>Beneficial in assimilating calcium and other heavy minerals.</b> Chlorophyll is really easy to absorb. It gets into your bloodstream really fast. It can absorb calcium and balance other trace minerals to rebuild, replace, and exchange with the new tissue. <br />
<br />
6.<b> Chlorophyll fights infection.</b> Chlorophyll possess property that kill harmful bacteria. The antiseptic properties of chlorophyll have the ability to kill germs by strengthening the tissues. <br />
<br />
All this being said, I notice a huge difference when I'm taking this. My energy level is way up and I just feel better. <br />
<br />
So give it a try! You may love it like I do!<br />
<br />
<br />

We recently got to spend a crazy weekend with our friends The Benson's at our family cabin in Plain WA. All eight of us piled into The Benson's Sequoia and headed West. </div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We decided to stop to get some Mexican Food for dinner in Wenatchee. This was the worst place I think I've been. It took an hour for us to get our food! By the time we got it we were so hungry we shoveled it into our mouths barely tasting it! They took forever to refill chips and salsa. I don't know how many times we had to ask for refills never to get it. All around a bad experience. The app Yelp gave it good reviews. Lesson learned, don't listen to Yelp!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My Mom, Sister, Kelly and I got to head over the mountains for the weekend for my godsister's baby shower. It was wonderful getting to spend some time with just the girls. We enjoyed hanging out in Leavenworth and Plain, and then heading over to Snohomish. I hadn't been to my childhood home in a long time so it was fun to see how it has changed and to show Kelly where I grew up. </span></div>

I haven't posted since November! That's almost a year gone by. How the heck did that happen? Well, I'll just recap what's happened in the past year to catch you up. <br />
<br />
December I got to spend 3 weeks with Steve's Sister and Brother-in-law at their home in PA helping Stacey out because she had a sweet baby boy. (Jaxon) What a wonderful time that was to spend with them. Steve and the kids joined me after about 2 weeks there by myself. It was a wonderful three weeks!<br /><br />Keith went through 9th grade. Had GREAT grades and participated in track. Although he was injured within the 1st couple of weeks and missed most of the season.<br />
<br />
Kelly went through 5th grade. Last year of elementary and realized her love of tennis! She took leasons at the Spokane Club and really enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
I continue to work at Business Innovations. I got to go to Nashville TN and Atlanta GA for some training, which was fun. My godsister Erin works for the same company and we were up giggling late into the night (or morning!) just like when we were kids. I had surgery in April, and spent time recovering from that.<br />
<br />
Steve continues to run his hardwood floor business and consitantly heads out to witness to others about Jesus Christ.<br />
<br />
The summer of 2012 has been crazy busy! <br />
<br />
We got to go to PA again twice in 6 months! We spent 10 days there and then Steve, Kelly and I headed home and Keith stayed to visit for another two weeks. <br />
<br />
We had our annual camping trip with the Benson's and also went camping with our family and Kelly's friend Holly. <br />
<br />
We also spent a week at Hayden Lake with my family. We had a great time relaxing, swimming, fishing, and I got to ride my bike.<br />
<br />
Keith has been working this summer. Mowing lawns to save money to buy his own car. Oct. 13th and he'll be 16 and ready to get his driving license. SCARY!<br />
<br />
Today is the first day of school for both kids. I no longer have a child in elementary school. Kelly started middle school today and Keith entered his Sophmore year of high school. My how time flies! <br />

His bedroom is down in the basement and some nights we get distracted after he's headed off to bed and forget to go down to say goodnight.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Tonight I got a text after he'd disappeared downstairs for awhile that said, "Are you guys coming down?" I headed downstairs, kissed him on the top of the head and said, "Night Bud, see you in the morning, I love you." Just like I always do, and he said "Night. Is Dad coming down?" I said, "I'm sure he will." He said "Tell him to ok?" I said "Ok I will." I closed the door and smiled because even though he's growing up so fast and sometimes it feels like he's pulling away, he still wants his good night kiss from his Mom and Dad.</div>Jessyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02966990296830732123noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022866546566223331.post-16197477680595007282011-07-26T16:32:00.000-07:002011-07-27T11:06:45.566-07:00MontanaA few weeks ago I got to head to Kalispell MT. Fay was taking her kiddos to spend a week with her Mom and Dad. Kelly and I thought we'd tag along to see where Fay grew up and where her parents live. We had such a nice time. Their home was gorgeous and her Dad cooked the best food for us! They had just gotten back from Alaska where Rod had caught a 97 pound Halibut and he cooked some of it up for us. IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!! Even Kelly liked it and normally if I make her eat fish she cries. (Don't worry Carol, I don't make her eat fish often.) Kalispell is beautiful. I can understand why Fay has such fond memories of her childhood and growing up there. Thanks for sharing it with me friend. And thanks for your hospitality Rod and Connie. I wish we could have stayed longer.<br />

Life was busy that month, so Kristin and I planned a surprise BBQ for them in July. It was a success. There was lots of friends and family there and they were very surprised. I only took a few pictures, but we found out they never served each other cake and smashed it in each other's faces, so we had them fix that. Congratulations Mom and Dad. We love you!<br />

We have been telling the kids that they could each take a friend camping this year, so Keith took his buddy Josiah and Kelly took her friend Natalie. I really enjoyed getting to know both kiddos a lot better. I know Josiah pretty well, but this was the first time I spent any time with Natalie. She is a sweetheart! And about as funny as they come.<br />
<br />
It was our first time up to Sam Owens Campground. Absolutely loved it! Nice big campsites, tons of wildlife and right on the lake, although I would suggest bringing water shoes because it's bit rocky on the beach. We will definitely be going back there again.<br />
<br />
Thursday night and Friday wasn't the best weather. It rained and was cold, but the sun came out on Saturday and Sunday and we enjoyed the warmth.<br />

It was a really fun weekend, and as I watched the kids with their friends I was reminded of how much they are growing up. This time wont last forever. We're definitely making time for more weekends like this because before we know it they'll be grown and gone. We had so much fun and a great time relaxing.Jessyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02966990296830732123noreply@blogger.com0
