Talitha: where has the time gone?

   I noticed (thanks to Joshua's help) I haven't up-dated my blog for a while. I wasn't a good blogger before but I tried to stay on top of it while Mom and Dad were on their mission, once they got home not only have I not blogged I haven't even stayed up on reading yours! I really don't even know where all the time has went! This year we have been busy doing projects around the house as well as quite a bit of camping. We got a new fence, widened our driveway, we are still working on extending our patio, we have a new shed being built soon and David has been busy turning our old one into a little place for me to do some hair. Even though most of our projects we hired out, we still had to plan, design, figure out who we were hiring, meet with them, ect so it still took up quite a bit of time. Back to the hair part.... After 27 years of doing hair I am really getting burned out of it, Both physically and mentally so I am looking for a little change. I really think I will miss some aspects of it though which is why I will keep doing a few friends and family here at the house, meanwhile I might look for another job.... Just something small and part time. Although I think about the beginning wages for someone without much experience and realize I would have to work a full 8 hour shift to make what I could in an hour of two of hair....so I hesitate.
   We also managed to fit in a little vacation! Now that Mom and Dad are back they could watch Lucy for us so we just got back from Az were we got to go to the SeaHawk game (even though we have been boycotting the NFL) then visited Grandpa Swift and Grandma Rucker (and family) then went to the NASCAR race! The weather was great and so was the whole trip. Now we are heading to Hawaii with some friends! I don't know what I was thinking planning not 1 but 2 vacations at the holidays!!! (note to self, don't do that again) It is way to busy of a time to through in extra things... I probably wont blog again until after the holidays! As it is I might be a little late on mailing my cards and gifts out! I just got the cards today so hopefully I will start of them in the morning.
   Here are some random pictures through out the year. Mostly camping (I will post Az pics next time, they are not up loaded to my computer yet and its getting late)
