Time Capsule Pictures

With 2009 being our 25th anniversary the Morrison Center made a really nice time capsule to be buried for another 25 years. The crew decided to buy a big pirate flag, have everyone sign it and then take pictures by the rail and all of our own pirate flags. The first is a few members of the core crew, a few who have been around since the building was built, a few only a few years. The second is as many students and part time temps as we could wrangle up on short notice. Its no where near who should be in the picture but it works. Those not in the picture are at the very least signing the flag.

Fun With the Mac

Matt, M.A. and I were all messing around with the photobooth on the computer a few days ago. For your viewing pleasure, here are a few pictures.

What an amazing show...

If anyone really knows me, they know I LOVE jazz. Especially the old jazz from the 30-50's. It holds a special place in my heart. This week has been nothing short of amazing. We have Ain't Misbehavin right now with Rubin Studdard who is such a big teddy bear, and Frenchie Davis who is not only an amazing performer, but a very, very cool gal! It is a cast of five who are all equally talented. It isn't often that we are blessed with good experiences working with both the cast and crew but we hit the jackpot on this show. I wish they were here longer than a few days!!

Garden time!

Yesterday while Boise was under constant rain showers we planted the beginnings of our
GARDEN
We planted 3 different types of tomatoes and peppers, cucumbers, corn, eggplant, pumpkin and strawberries. Its a good start I think. I wish I had a greenhouse... does anyone have one of those little portable ones??

We took the pups with us to Zamzows and bought new seeds and yummy nutrient rich soil for our little seeds to sprout and grow in. While we were there we bought grass seed and fertilizer and food. Lets take this moment to bow our heads in prayer for the Curtis back yard. We have had SUCH a hard time getting grass to grow. Renters were here for years and years before we bought the place and the back yard was full of every weed known to man. Not just little weeds either. I'm talking FOREST like conditions. We have gotten rid of most of them, but its still a battle to get grass to grow without being overcome by weeds. It has been a never ending battle for 4 years... AACCCKKK!!! Any advice would be welcomed graciously.

I am anxiously looking forward to watching these little guys grow, but I am even more anxious for Spring to stick around longer than a few days!

We celebrated out anniversary on St. Patricks day.
Its hard to believe its ONLY been three years!
We both had to work but we spent the evening at The Melting Pot
with another couple whos anniversary falls two days before ours.
With our crazy schedules we haven't been able to spend as much time together
aside from sleeping, so it was nice to get dressed up and spend a couple hours at dinner
catching up with each other and our friends.

Isnt she the cutest???

3 years!

Three down, forever to go!

Update

For all of those wondering, Grams is doing well. She has been a bit down but otherwise progressing. Within the next few days she will be moved from St. Lukes to Capital Care Center where she will build her strength back to where it needs to be in order to go home. Prayers have been answered! I was not sure I was ready to lose both of my granparents within a year. I think the scariest was knowing that she may be not willing to fight... She has missed him so much she may have wanted to go.

At any rate, we have been ridiculously busy at work, and my sisters have been here which I have LOVED every minute of. Getting to know my sweet little niece has been such a blessing!

Our computer is down, therefor there won't be any pictures for a while. I am able to update this relatively easily from my phone so I will continue to do that.

What a Week!

Last weekend marked the beginning of an extremely stressful weekend. We were in the midst of teching Ballet Idahos production of A Midsummer Nights Dream when my grandma took a nasty fall. She's tough and didn't want to go to the hospital even though she nearly knocked herself out and had a nasty gash across her forehead, as well as a shiner that left her eye closed shut for three days. Needless to say, she ended up going to the er. Once there her body went into shock, septic shock, and started shutting down. We were given a 10% chance of her making it through... Long story short we nearly lost her, it got that bad. It's been a LONG weekend and a rough start to the week. As of today, I think she's gonna stick around for a while. We were incredibly blessed that she didn't break any bones.

This experience has once again brought our family together. Shiara and Chante along with sweet little Eddy flew home just in case we were going to have another funeral to plan. They are my silver lining in this dark cloud of a week. As you all know, I have missed my sisters terribly! We are complete, even if it only lasts a week!
