This weekend was very productive Michael and I got the outside Christmas lights up on the house, Tigger Snowman as well, got the tool box put in the back of the truck, all the Christmas decorations up in the inside of the house and put the tree up. (Pictures of the tree coming) And that was just Saturday. On Sunday the Gang and I went with some friends to what seemed like the top of a mountain, (or at least really close) to get a Christmas Tree. Yes I did say above that we already put ours up. But why not get one to chop up and decorate outside, with wonderful smelling branches (and boy do they smell good). We had so much fun, we went with 8 other people. We all found a tree! Michael, Joanna and I found a big fluffy one. And the other's found one to fit what they were looking for, to include 2 tiny one's for table top trees. After we had lunch with a buffet style tail gate spread. Dan and Roy (2 of our friends) started a fire and we all gathered around it, ate and chatted for awhile. Then we all went home. I commenced to hacking off the branches of the beautiful tree we have found and put them all over the front yard in different ways and later I will add red bows for the full effect. We had so much fun that we want to go again next year. When all was said and done, Michael and I settled down and watched the traditional "After the Christmas Decorations are up Movie" Lethal Weapon! Hey you watch what you like and we'll watch what we like!
Love to all!

On The Road Again
Yaaa Baby! Watch out, I'm back on the road. Last night my wonderful husband and our awesome friend Dan suprised me with my "Completed Truck!" With the front end on and everything. I was completly at a loss for words, (shock I know) because that wonderful husband of mine kept telling me that it wasn't going to be done till tomorrow "maybe" and that he needed to trade parts and then they still had to bend this and do that. Well we get to our friends house and I'm ready to drop Joanna off and kiss him goodbye because I had a Beta Meeting for the Valentine Ball. And they asked if I would like to see the progress? Sure, why not! I turn the corner and there is my Truck in all it's glory!!
Needless to say this is not the first time Michael has pulled this kind of a joke. But the last time I thought he was fooling me, he wasn't and was getting upset at the fact I didn't believe him, "I would never joke about your truck, Honey" I believe were his exact words. So this time I was totally believing him. Well we won't be doing that again very soon, now will we!

Thanksgiving
We went to Emmette,Idaho for Thanksgiving. Where my Aunt Marti had come to join the festivities! 
It was so awesome to see her, I hadn't seen her in 10 years. We of course had to play the family card game that has been passed down from generation to generation, Russian Bank. And I found out that I was pretty good! Not going to give the final tally but I dished it out pretty well! Here is a picture of Jo and Aunt Marti watching TV.
On friday we went to the Boise Zoo and had a blast. We all had so much fun and some alittle too much, LOL!
Friday night Michael, Elise and myself went to sing our hearts out at the local bar. Karaoke Baby!! And we had a request from the Babysitter (My Mom Marybeth) that the fee for babysitting was for us to sing the Y.M.C.A. not only that but we had to take pictures to prove that fact we sang in the first place!
Then on Saturday we went Shooting, I got to show my little Conger Girl how to shoot a weapon and she did great!! She fell in love with the sport and didn't want to stop!Here is a picture of Grandpa Bill and Joanna. And one of Michael.
Then that night off to a Birthday Party for Katie Sears my Niece, she turned the big 16 years, WOW! I feel old!! Here is Elise, Chris and Myself.
Sunday morning brought pony riding with Auntie Roo (Elise) and Uncle Tigger(Brian). And Turtle pancakes at Grandpa Bill's (no Turtle's were harmed in the making of this breakfast/they are just shaped that way) A Grandpa Specialty!!
And then very saddly we had to go home! :(
Life has gone back to normal, well as normal as it was. I still don't have my truck back, Michael and our friend Dan are still working on it and say it should be drivable in a day or so, but the front of the truck ie. the bumper and grill are still a work in progress. The front end that the guy got for us that was fixing it doesn't fit and isn't the right part for the truck. So now we have to go back to where the guy got the parts and see if we can trade. I guess the Toyota Tacoma has a big manufacturing difference in 1997 around May, so we need to look at the truck and figure out if the truck was build before or after May of '97'. Good Grief!!
But other than that Jo is back at school and happy to be there. We have been determined to read every night! She reads to me for 20 minute or more than I read a book to her, she picks of course, and the pick for the past two nights has been Dr. Seuss Sleep Book, which is one of my favorite books ever!
Haven't seen Michael much for the past two nights, last night he didn't get home till 1230 and I was already in bed.
Love you all!!

Hello
I know what some of you are going to say "Doesn't she already have a my space page?" Well yes I do but I haven't been on it for about a year and the computer at work won't let me go to the My Space web site. So today I received a blog from my little sister and thought to myself, if I can get to this blog to ready it I bet I can crate one myself, and as they say the rest is history.
News from the Spokane neck of the woods....
Well the Campaign is going well, we still have a lot to do. We have been to forum and after forum and we have even had a debate, not like you see with the President but a pretty good one and it was also on TV (local channel 5). We have also been Sign Waving and Door Belling. We both have high hopes!!
Joanna is doing good she has started school and already doesn't like her teacher, her reason, "She doesn't let us talk or play around in the lunch line!" (Go Teacher, Go! I of course love the new Teacher! Hehehehehe!)
I am still working at Kodiak with Michael, I have a nice little place where I am left alone and don't have to really do to many stressful things. I get to wear a suit and work during the day which is awesome. I can go home and be with Joanna and Mike!
I wish you all a Happy Fall!
