"Insert creative title here"

Sorry... no catchy title for today. Not in a blogging mood at all. Kinda hiding out here. Reading a lot (thanks to Nat and Shauna for hooking me up with the Twilight series). It has been a good distraction for me.

Yesterday was so sad. Cried my way through Tami's funeral. Jim and Natalie both came along. Love them to pieces. We were able to see Tami's family and give them hugs. Emily and Ashley are taller than their dad! Wow... so beautiful too.  So bummed that we left before seeing Nat and Emily's kinder teacher, Shelly Bishop. She is a gem. We also saw my friends Dina and Robanne. So glad to be able to give them hugs too. It was a huge funeral... Tami was so loved and it showed.

Jim and Nat are off to the barn. Memo was off and on pretty good at Pony Club on Friday. Started out nice and calm, but got pretty amped up when they started jumping. She was like a bucking bronco at times. They ended up with an amazing jumping round at the end. Nat did a great job and loves her crazy horse. She said she hardly noticed that Memo was bucking. Boy did us moms notice though!! Yikes. Have to admit that it doesn't really phase me any more... I'm becoming such a horse mom, eh? I have so much confidence in Natalie's ability.

Looking forward to a short week. Nat is out on Thursday and Friday for conferences, and then it is SPRING BREAK. Bring it on.

hey there, you have been on my mind and I knew yesterday was going to be a hard day for you...

We have a full week this week. Boys had only two days this past week. Then spring break. Not sure what we are going to do. I think one day may be to OMSI and maybe another to the beach. The past few years of spring break have been pretty boring around here, so want to do something a little different this year.

Hang in there my friend. Sending you happy thoughts and a big hug.

It was great to see you and your family, even though it was so terribly sad. Next time maybe I'll even get a chance to chat with Natalie and Jim. :) Thanks for being there! Love, Dina
