It’s been a while since I’ve gone on a Wednesday Walk, so I thought that today would be a good day to take a walk down memory lane, and I thought you would like to come with me…

…We moved to Roseburg (from Los Osos, California) during the summer of 1976, when I was 5 years old. [...]

Alvy E Evans

My Dad was born in Hood River, Oregon. He was the 4th child of Alvy and Mary Evans. When he was still very young, his Dad, Alvy Evans Sr., walked out on his family and chose not to be a part of their lives… On December 14, [...]

Our Wedding

For all my new readers that weren’t with me last fall, I’d like to explain what my Wednesday Walks are… Every once in a while I like to take a walk down memory lane. When I do, I post them on Wednesdays and call them my Wednesday Walks. … I’m trying to write down [...]

My Friend Anysia (Updated)

When I was a freshman in high school, I met a girl named Angie. To be honest, I can’t remember how exactly we met, which class we in together, or what. I just remember that it was freshman year. *lol*
This is Angie, in my bedroom, in August of 1987.

This is me, also in my bedroom. I was 16, [...]

Surgery

Time to take another walk…

This time I would like to write about my first surgery… Mainly because I realized that I can only remember bits and pieces of it, and I don’t want to forget the bits and pieces that I do remember…
I woke up on what I think was the morning of August 3rd, 1988 [...]

A Wednesday Walk

I was out and about blog hopping, and I read a post on embarrassing moments… And seeing as it’s Wednesday, I decided to talk a Wednesday Walk, and talk about one of my most memorable embarrassing moments… Now, I won’t claim it as my most embarrassing moment, but it’s up there…
On one of [...]

Doin’ Good

As you know, both Joe and I are trying to lose weight. While we’ve both been doing well with the eating thing, I’m the only one who actually got a workout in, while Joe has yet to do one… This morning, I weighed myself and I had lost .8 of a pound… Joe weighed himself and [...]

My Wednesday Walk

I need to revive an old favorite… When I first started my Wednesday Walks, I was so faithful about them. Then I got accepted on Gotta Pixel’s creative team, and I’ve let scrapbooking take over my computer time…. Have you noticed the lack of updates on my kids’ website pages. *sighs*
Anyhoo, I thought I would [...]

My Wednesday Walk

(Note: I meant to post this at Christmas, but I spaced it… Better late then never! )

My siblings and I have never believed in Santa Claus. My parents taught us that Santa was a fun part of Christmas, but that he wasn’t real. They made sure we knew the real reason for the season… [...]

Being Sucked In…

… By my Photoshop Elements… I’m turning into a scrapping fool. It’s bad people… I think I need help… Scrappers Anonymous… When the kids are doing lessons, in between helping them, I’m scrapping. In the evenings, when the kids are watching a movie, I’m scrapping. At night, when Joe and the kids are sleeping, I’m [...]

My Wednesday Walk

When I was in high school I was painfully shy… I know, I know… You’re probably thinking that I am *still* painfully shy, and truth be told, I am… But, I was even *more* shy in high school, believe it or not. I remember when I got my first job… I had turned 16 a [...]

My Wednesday Walk

Last week someone left a comment on my Wednesday walk about how they had to walk home from work at 10:00 pm at night. I was going to reply with a story of my own, and I thought, “Hey! I can’t use this as my next Wednesday Walk!”… So my friend didn’t get her Email! [...]

The Perinatologist

Today was the day that I saw the perinatologist…
Since we were going to be gone for half the day, we decided to take the day off school. I told Jared not to turn on his alarm clock, because I wanted to sleep in this morning. … It didn’t work though. At around 3:00 am [...]

A Walk Down Memory Lane

Conversation of the Day:
(Joe is changing Amanda’s diaper)
Daddy: “Alicia, can you go see if we have any powder.”
Alicia: “…Is this it?”
Daddy: “No, that’s Desitin, I need powder.”
Alicia: “…Is this it?”
Daddy: “No, that’s floss….”
Butt floss?
My Wednesday Walk
See this picture?

See, I’m not the only one who can be a stinker! Other people can be [...]

Change in Plans

So, we didn’t get to the zoo today. *pout* Joe had to work longer than usual, and didn’t get home until almost 3 pm. Since it would take about an hour to get there, we decided to post-pone the trip to the zoo until this weekend… We had originally thought we would go on Saturday, [...]

Making Progress

I slowly plodded on today… Though I got distracted a few times. I would be happily unpacking when I would come across something that’s been in the attic for a long time… Like today I found my Mom’s old year books, and her wedding book, etc. I ended up sitting down and reading some of [...]

3 Days!!!

I’m going to need my newest album I am working on proof-read, so I thought I would make it easier. For the next while, I will try to post 4 layouts every day (in private posts), and if anyone you see any mistakes, could you please leave a comment and let me know? Thanks!… And hey, [...]

10 Days

We made it out to the house today. I can’t remember (mainly because I wasn’t paying attention ) what time we got there, but I’d say it was sometime between 2 and 2:30. We had stopped by McDonald’s on the way there (don’t worry, I got a salad ) and took it to [...]
