Lincoln City Family Reunion
For the past two years, Dave has been telling me how fun his family reunions are when everyone comes to the Oregon Coast.
Last week really was as fun as Dave described. Per all the sisters-in-laws request, I am actually going to post some pictures of family and fun.

Photos
I am taking a digital photography class right now and loving it! David also bought me a copy of Photoshop Elements and I have been having a lot of fun playing with some of my old pictures. So, here are some pictures I took in Thailand last summer.

Williamsburg and Aunt Joan
Last month right after finals I got to spend a weekend in Williamsburg Virginia with my family.
Some of the highlights of the trip included:
The second half of the trip we drove to North Carolina to celebrate the life of my Aunt Joan. She died unexpectedly and quickly last month. When my mom called to tell me the news, I just couldn't believe it. How could this vibrant, caring, and vivacious individual be gone so quickly?
I was so glad that I got to be at her memorial service. As a family, we cried together and laughed together and gave thanks for everything that Joan was to us. It is funny how sometimes it takes someone leaving to realize how much they really have influenced our lives. Joan was constantly caring for and nurturing everyone she came into contact with-- and she did it in her own Joan kind of a way.
Thinking back over the years, here are some of the unique gifts Joan gave me: birthday poems, foot massages with lessons in pressure points, dream interpretations, a trip to NYC, headache relief from pressure points, adventurousness, a love collage.
Joan was a wonderful part of my life and I miss her. But mostly now I am thankful for what she gave me. I am grateful for the interesting, thoughtful, and diverse gifts she gave to me, and to the hundreds of other people I don't even know about. I only hope that I can pass on her legacy and be as good of an aunt to my neices and nephews as she was to me.
Some of the highlights of the trip included:
meeting baby Abigail
talking about family memories by the fire
watching the Johnson kids do all the moves to High School Musical WHILE seat belted in the car
the Christmas decorations at Williamsburg
