Excused Absence

Its been a crazy few days for me. I haven't been consistent in my writing as I should be. I went to the fall convention for the Realtor officers a few days ago, which was an experience in of itself. Since I will be president of our valley association next year, I was required to attend. The politics in the association alone is amazing! I had no idea how much of an impact our contributions have in the legislative voting for Washington. The state level has a power that I have never seen before. We have voice...That was so cool to me!

Summer in FULL swing!

AH...To be a child and live carefree in the arms of mother summer. To watch your children play and laugh are the greatests gifts known to man. We took all of them to Williams Lake last weekend, and they had such a great time! Fishing, swimming, paddle-boating, and exploring. To quote my husband, "that was the best father's day I have ever had". Summer can be hectic, indeed. But I think the more things we do with the kids, the funner it is. :)
