After a six years together and a year and a half engagement, Leanne and Jeff are now Mr. and Mrs. Oxborough. Saturday September 22, 2007 at 4:00pm was the wedding and the reception started at about 4:15pm. It was beautiful. It was held at Lake Lawrence Lodge in Yelm, WA. We got the key to the lodge on Friday at noon.It only took about 3 hours to turn it into the perfect wedding hall. It was hard work but between our family and Jeff’s family, we got it done with a quickness. Saturday morning was full of hair and makeup, then we got dresses on at the lodge and pictures to follow.

The ceremony was short but sweet. They had a very close friend of theirs perform the ceremony for them and she did an absolutely amazing job. It was so surreal, but beautiful to see them up there together. It was a long time coming and it was worth it. I am SO happy for them.

The food was from Casa Mia and so delicious. The Cake was amazing too. Gosh, we had so much fun. It was a blast. The only that my sister said she really wanted to have at her wedding was fun. Mission accomplished. Of course It was a sappy day and I cried about 50 different times, like when they said their vows, when my dad walked her down the aisle, the father daughter dance, and the speeches. It was an open mic. for speeches so I tried to make a good one but couldn’t get too many words out. It was an amazing day.

So CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. and Mrs. Jeff and Leanne Oxborough!

Remission is the state of absence of disease activity in patients with known chronic illness. It is commonly used to refer to absence of active cancer.

There it is. The word we’ve been waiting to hear for nearly 6 months now. My Father is now an official cancer survivor. This is the best thing in the world right now. Although, he will have to go see the Doc every 3 months and keep getting checked over for signs of return of the cancer.  I don’t think he minds this too much. He is now ready to get back to his life. He’s going to start regaining his strength, eating more foods, going back to work, and running dogs. He has been very strong through all of this and I could not be prouder of him. YAY, my daddy is all better.

I’ve been tagged by Swamp Goddess to share with you 10 things to share with you. Either random facts, goals or secrets. It doesn’t matter really what they are, just things to share with the world.

1. I love old movies. Casablanca, Love Story, Gone with the Wind, My Fair Lady, and Gentlemen Prefer Blonds are just a few of my most favorites.

2.  I am full of random and useless facts about stuff. I love to share them at the mos random of times too.  I am not really sure where I pick it all up at. All I know is that the weirder they are, the better the chance I will remember it is.

3.  I love the water.  I can’t imagine living someplace where I had anything more than a 2 hr drive to get to the water. I love the smell of the salt water, I love the look. To me, it’s the greatest creation on this Earth.

4.  I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and it’s the worst thing in the world. It causes so many problems that a girl isn’t suppose to deal with ever. I can’t eat half the things that I want to anymore. Greasy foods, and fatty foods make me sick so I can’t eat them anymore, and all I’ve done since i’ve stopped eating them is gain weight.

5.  Someday when I retire, I want to own my own tanning salon.

6.  It may have taken me 20 years, but I finally figured out that my sister is one of the best friends I will ever have. And I couldn’t be happier about who she is going to marry.

7. I have never been more motivated to finish school as I am not that I know people out there will want to hire me. With the experience I have, confidence I’ve gained, and the skills that I have mastered, I know someone will be willing to take me on as their lab tech.

 8. My family has done a lot of me and I would not have the great life I have now without their constant support of my life. They are the best family anyone can ask for, and I am lucky that they are mine.

9. If I’m ever having a bad day for any reason, I can take a bath with bubbles and candles and my bad mood vanish. It’s magic and I use it as often as possible.

10. I love to be touched. I love hugs, foot massages, cuddles, snuggles, and just general touch. It makes me feel close to people. I can’t explain it really, I have just always been that way since I was a tiny little girl sugglin’ with her mommy and daddy on the couch.

I Tag you. You are next. Share your 10 facts of life with your readers.

Well, summer break is over and it’s back to school for me. This brings a bit more stress on me than normal. I have this wonderful internship that is putting my foot in the door of a great company. However, I have much more work at school to do. I wanted to be done with school by the end of May. In Order for me to do this, I will have to give up the internship, go to school full time, and pick up another part time job.

I do not want to let Weyerhaeuser down. I have job responsibility to them and I do not want to just drop out. I do want to finish school as soon as possible though. This kind of sucks but the sooner I get a real job and heath care, the sooner I can move into my own place and start that life of my own. I am just really torn at this point.

Another factor is the part time job. I’m sure I could go back to Target but my pride would be bruised. I am also not going to be paid what the internship was paying me, which means I will have to work a lot harder to get the same amount of money.

Blah, growing up is stressful.

Welcome to my fabulous page. Here, I will share with you the most wonderful things of my life. My friends, my family, my adventures and my shenanigans. So, sit back and enjoy.
