It’s Just Me

Our family was in Tahoe last week – we had a BLAST!  Here are a few pics!

And we move out in 12 days.  Holy gadzzz.  I’ve been a packing machine.  And I’m super emotional.  Out of the blue I start crying.  Oh man.  This is what we call bittersweet.  Leaving family and other loved ones is gonna hurt.  Thank heavens we’ll be out near Matt & Val and our soon to be grandbaby.  And I’ll hope that our California friends and family will come see us often!

Annie & Michael saw John Mayer on Saturday!  They LOVED it!

And we all saw the new BATMAN: The Dark Knight.  Talk about INTENSE.  I like a good, dark movie, so this was pretty good in my book. 

Back to packing…

Pics from today!

(we got to have Ella today, we wish we could keep her.  We’re so in love.  And yes, there were turkeys in the front today – about 20 of ‘em – isn’t this guy a hoot?) 

A few more pics to share:

In scrapping news, I’ve just started as a CT member for the Libby-Lou Crew at Sweet Shoppe Designs!  YAY LOUBERT!!!!!!!  Go see!

She’s one of my best friends on the planet, and I’m so thrilled for her and love working with her stuff!

Here’s a few of my pages from the last few days.

I’m here to do a commercial for Satellite Radio.  Don’t care if you choose XM or Sirius.  Either one will do.  I have Sirius in my car, and my hubby just renewed our deal for 6 more months due to the fact that I can’t stop singing it’s praises!  I absolutely LOVE it.  My rental car had XM when I was in Utah a few days back, and that was just as cool.  The reason I love it so much is that I have found new bands that I would never have heard before – (and the fact that there are no ads at all doesn’t hurt either).  My fave station is Iceberg 95 (all Candian music, this has opened up an entire new world of awesome rock I never knew existed).

Here’s just a handful of some of my new favorite bands that were discovered thanks to Sirius and XM:

Stabilo, Brandon Heath, Red, The Weepies, Pilot Speed, Crush Parallel, The Priddle Concern, Deepfield, Faber Drive, Default, Brian Melo, Finger 11, Wavorly, City & Colour, 40 Foot Echo, Matt White, Chris Tomlin, Mutemath, Sick Puppies, Matt Wertz….   I could go on.

So today I thought I’d link you up to a few of my new faves (more to come later).  Take a sec to listen and see what you think.  And after that, I’ve posted a few of my recent scrapbook pages.  (oh – - and by the way, OUR HOUSE SOLD!!!!!!)
