Man, lately I find myself wondering a lot, “How did I get such an amazing husband?” Travis takes such good care of me. He makes me laugh, he listens to me when I am upset, and he knows the right things to say to calm me down. He is always there for me, and I never have any doubt that he loves me completely. He is my best friend, lover, and soul mate. How did I get so lucky? We work on our dreams together and we support each other. We have FUN together! Everyday is not wonderful, but I always know I can rely on Travis. I thank God everyday for bringing Travis into my life.
Travis, Thank you for being such a wonderful husband, man, and someday, father. Thank you for letting me lean on you when I am not strong enough. Thank you for holding me close when I need to be held, and giving me space when I need space. Thank you for communicating with me, and supporting me in my dreams. Thank you for envisioning the future with me, and working with me on making it what we want. Thank you for making me laugh, and keeping a smile on my face. Thank you for all the sacrifices you make everyday to do the right thing for me and for us. I love you so much and I feel so blessed to have you as my husband! I look forward to each day we spend together and I can’t wait for the next 70 years with you! I love you.

Monday AGAIN?!?!
Monday again! Wow, they are just coming so quickly these days. Trav and I had a good weekend. We didn't get a lot done, but every now and then I think thats ok! We were dog sitting for the Clark Sr's. It was nice because we were away from our house, so it kind-of gave us a little break.Anyway, Friday we had to run a few errands after work, but we headed to Corvallis at 6:30. We ordered pizza from Pizza Pipeline as we were heading out of Albany, so it would be ready when we got to Corvallis. We love Pizza Pipeline pizza! We had picked up a 5th of grape vodka to share, so we stopped at Fred Meyer to get a couple mixers. Then we went to get our pizza, and headed to the Clark Sr's house. Brian ended up having to work late, and after he got off work, he and Lindsey had to return something to Salem, so they had to cancel. Trav and I decided to have a cozy night...just the two of us, pizza, movies, and grape martini's. It was fun. We were pretty worn out from the long week, so we went to bed a little past midnight. We slept until noon, and I feel like I could have slept all day! I'm sure my body was catching up from the horrible sleep I got all week, but I still couldn't believe how tired I was!We got up Saturday, showered, and took the dog for a nice long walk. After the walk, we went to pick blueberries and get our fresh fruits and vegi's from the fruit stand. I am really going to miss the fresh fruits and veggies in the winter time! Anyway, after that, we went grocery shopping and then went back to our house to unload all our goods! We headed back to the Clarks Sr to take care of Buddy around 6. We had dinner and then left to meet Monika and JD at the Benton County Fair. We had fun just walking around and talking! We looked at the livestock, and spent a lot of time looking at the roosters and bunnies! They are SO cute. After the fair closed we all headed back to the Clark Sr's.We just enjoyed talking and laughing until a little after 1. They are not taking birth control......getting ready to have their 2nd child! How exciting!Sunday we ended up not going to Silver Falls..kind of a bummer, but we had a lot of house work, etc to do. So we got it all taken care of. It was a relaxing weekend. This week will NOT be relaxing, as we are getting ready for our camping trip this weekend. BUT, the camping will be very relaxing and make it all worth-while. I'm looking forward to "roughing it"I have really been thinking about starting a family lately...it feels like it's getting close to time.Travis is a wonderful husband and provider for our family....we are at a comfortable spot and I think we are getting close to taking the next step! It is exciting and a little scary to think about!!Well, have a good week! I will be trying to enjoy mine!!

Another Weekend is Here!
Man, I am so glad it's Friday. I have not been getting very good sleep for the past couple weeks, and it is really making a difference in everything!!
The weather here has been beautiful lately! I love having nice weather. I don't really like the temperature to go past 85 though! I know, I'm really picky.
This week has been a long one. I still don't know whats going on with my car insurance stuff. The adjuster conveniently went out of town Wednesday and won't be back until Monday.
We have been enjoying lots of bbq's lately! Last night we went to the Clarks Sr. for bbq'd salmon. Yummy! Jason and Amber (Trav's brother and sister in law) came down also. We found out that Amber is pregnant!
This weekend we are dog sitting for the Clark's. Tonight we are going to order Pizza Pipeline with Brian and Lindsey, and just veg out! Tomorrow we are going to the fair with Monika and JD, and Sunday I think we are going to Silver Creek Falls after we get our chores done. I am looking forward to it, because it sounds like it should be pretty relaxing!
Next weekend we are camping with our friend Ladd! I love camping so I'm pretty excited! Plus, I bought some bug spray for this trip!!
Have a good weekend everyone!!

Thank God for Travis
I'd like to give a shout out to my husband Travis. He has been handling all the insurance stuff lately, because it's been stressing me out so much! He has made all the calls, delt with all the pressure of the confrontation and arguments, and just been my back bone through this whole thing! I hate this process and without Travis I really don't think I would be able to stand up to these insurance people as much as we have.
Thanks baby for all your help and support! You have come SO far in the past few years, and grown into a WONDERFUL man, husband, support, and best friend.
Thank you!

Monday's
Well, it's Monday again! And this has been a crazy one!!We had a great weekend camping! We left right after work, and we even got off a little early! We got to the campground at 6pm, and we got our secret spot! We got there about 5 minutes after Air and K. We got the tents set up, and the food out and bbq'd hot dogs. Yum. After that, we got the fire started and sat back in our lawn chairs, sipping our drinks and chatting it up. We had a great night! We finally went to bed around 3am, and slept until 11am! Air and K had to go to a family reunion, so Trav and I got up, bbq'd hamburgers, chatted for a while, and then decided to take a nap. We slept for about an hour, and then decided to go check out the river. It was beautiful out. The sun was shining so it as nice and warm, but we weren't dying of heat! We walked in the river and went for a swim in the swimming hole for a couple hours. We came back up to camp at about 6 and Air and K had just gotten back. K was pretty excited to show Trav how to fish, so we headed back down to the river and fished for about an hour. Trav caught his first fish! It was pretty cool!We had fresh fish, and tacos for dinner. Yum! After dinner we just talked around the fire until about 2 and then went to bed. We woke up at about 11am again, and got packed up and ready to go home.Once home we did our normal Sunday chores....cleaned the house, went grocery shopping, and prepared for the week. We added in blueberry picking and a movie yesterday. :)Now it is Monday again, and back to reality. I am facing the fact that I have to deal with this insurance stuff! I am planning on calling my agent back today after my chiropractor appointment. I'm not looking forward to it.This week is already filled with plans! Thursday night we have dinner at Travs parents, and Friday - Sunday afternoon we are dog sitting at thier house. Friday theirht I think we are getting together with Lindsey and Brian. It would be great to see them! Saturday we are going to the fair with Monika and JD. We haven't seen them forever, so that should be lots of fun!I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Insurance
TGI almost F!! I am so ready for the weekend. I have had crappy sleep all week, and I'm just tired.
Tuesday night Trav and I went up to my parents house for a bbq. We had bbq'd steak, corn on the cob, baked potatoes, salad, and cantaloupe. It was SO yummy! We sat out on the deck and drank wine in the sunshine. It was a lot of fun!
Last night, Air came over while Trav worked on some logo sketches for a client. We had a good time hanging out! We used to hang out every week, just have a girls night. We haven't done that since Trav and I moved! We need to get back to it!
So I am getting SOO frustrated with the guy who hit me's insurance company! Last week they called with a weak offer. I could never get a decent replacement with it! So we told them it wasn't enough and that we couldn't find anything even close to that price that would replace it. They asked for us to fax over proof of the exact same car for sale in Oregon to see how much they are selling for. We spent hours on-line researching and could only find 2 cars that were the same year and style in Oregon. We faxed the info over, and they called back yesterday and said that "their sources" said the car should be $1000 less than the offer they originally gave me. I don't know who their "sources" are because obviously we didn't find that to be true! Thats just not reality! I am SOOO frustrated. This isn't my fault at all. I got hit, my car was totaled, I have headaches every day now, as well as back aches and neck aches, I have to spend hours a week in doctors offices, and they are making me feel like I'm the victim here.
I can't wait until this whole process is over! Hopefully it will end decently, and everything will work out. Thats what I'm praying for!

New week
I can’t believe it’s already Monday! The weeks go by fast, but the weekends go even faster! We had a good weekend, The Phil Vassar concert was a lot of fun!
Saturday we slept in until noon, and my mom called to ask us if we wanted to go to a wine tasting event at Willamette Valley Vineyards. We said yes, and got ready, but she called right after we finished getting ready and said she read the date wrong and it wasn’t Saturday. At least we were ready for the day! We decided to get our grocery shopping out of the way. We wanted to get fresh fruits and veggies, so we went to a little stand on hwy 34 to pick out local produce. We got tons of good stuff! Then, I wanted to go pick some fresh blueberries so Travis took me to Blueberry Meadows! I’ve never picked blueberries before, so it was a new experience. It was lots of fun! We picked a pound and ½ of big, sweet, juicy “Berkley” blueberries. We finished them last night though, so clearly we should have gotten more! They were such a good deal we will probably go there at least once a week!
We finished grocery shopping, stopped to get an iced coffee, and headed home. We brainstormed what to have for dinner, and talked to Lindsey and Brian a little. We decided to get together with them after dinner. We bbq’d chicken (yum) and made some pasta!
We headed over to the Holcomb’s at about 7:30. We haven’t seen them forever, so we were pretty excited! We had a really good time just talking, catching up, drinking wine, and laughing! Their neighbors came over after a while, and we had a good time meeting and hanging out with them. We headed home at 1 and went to bed.
Sunday we slept in again. When we got up, we decided it was a good day for a bike ride. We went for a good couple hours, just around town. It was fun. When we got home, we decided to be productive, and tackle a bunch of laundry and cleaning up the guest room! We got a lot done. We went out to Wilhelm’s for dinner, and ran a couple errands. When we got home we watched a little TV before bed.
Now it’s Monday again! A new week. We will probably get to go camping this weekend. I don’t want to get too excited…since we haven’t been able to go at all yet! I hope we can though!
My back has been pretty sore still….I am going back to the chiropractor today. I always feel better after I leave the chiropractor, but the next day it hurts again, and I always have a darn headache! Hopefully pretty soon I’ll be as good as new!
