Well I just had to share with you all. There is a Veterans Affairs Nursing Seminar that is being held in New Orleans in April and my work has decided to send me to attend!!! I am soooo excited to get to go back there (haven't been since Katrina). AND what is better than having someone else (namely the JOB) pay for the entire trip... Does it get any better? I think not! I am excited and feeling very blessed for A. for having a job at all with the economy as it is and B. having such a great job that allows me the opportunity to do this! The last day of the seminar we get to build a Habitat-For-Humanity house, so we get to help out and make a difference to someone, as well as learn what other VAs across the nation are doing to care for our vets and promote growth and change from within our own VAs. The only thing that will be stressful is I am going for 5 days 3 weeks into my final round of classes for my Bachelor's Degree (the classes are only 6 weeks longs). So I will have to be working ahead to make sure I get all my work done and in on time. I would appreciate your prayers for a safe and productive trip... Love you guys!

Grandma Spence
Grandma Spence passed away the morning of March 1, 2009. Just wanted to post a great pic I found of her from JR's birthday last year. She was in her basement, working on one of her projects... They say she went peacefully. Just wanted you all to know.

Snow in Spokane
Well now that the holidays are over and we have finally gotten rid of some of this nasty snow we have had... I promised some pics of the snow so here you are!
This is the back porch, getting pretty deep here even after a foot or so melted off...

Happy New Year
Happy New Year for 2009! Hope everyone is doing ok and getting around in this mucky weather without trouble. I don't know what I would do without friends without 4WD! Hope the new year finds you happy and healthy, and with many blessings. We miss you all and are thinking and praying for you.
