Visiting with Andrea in Charleston and Savannah

My friend from nursing school came out this way on vacation. She came to Charleston first because her boyfriend has a conference there. So on Sunday I went and spent the day with her touring Charleston. We went to brunch, took a boat to Fort Sumner, and went shopping. Monday night they came down to Savannah. We went to dinner on River Street then they spent the night at my house. Tuesday we got up and went to Savannah and had lunch and I showed them around downtown. It was a lot of fun.

Mystery Gnome

So this friendly creature showed up on my front door a couple of weeks ago. Who sent it?! I have no idea who it is from. If anyone out there has a clue let me know. My sister thought I did it and I thought she did it, then I blamed Zoe and she said she didn't put it there either. What a funny mystery. I hope some day I find out who came to Pooler, Georgia and placed this lovely specimen on my front step.

Julie and Disney World

Julie came out to visit last week. I showed her around Savannah for a couple of days then we went to Orlando. We visited Disney World's Animal Kingdom and Epcot. She is a wonderful friend and I was thankful for the time we were able to spend together.

Spring in Savannah

These photo's are from Forsyth Park in down town Savannah (kinda the Central Park of Savannah.) The sun is out and it is so nice here. For all you Oregonian's hang in there the sun will come out soon for you, and it will be too hot to go outside here in a couple months.

Jake picked one of these flowers for me last spring.

Jake's trip home!

At the airport when he first arrived! Can you tell by my smile I was happy?
Downtown Savannah on River Street.

Jake came home for 18 wonderful days at the begining of the month. We had a great time and it reminded me of how God has blessed me with a wonderful husband. The time together came and went quickly but we enjoyed downtown Savannah, time with family in Oregon, downtown Portland for one night, celebrated Jake's birthday, being home, and working on projects at home. Jake is truely my "family handy man" he replaced our kitchen faucet, fixed a toilet, fixed the counter top, and cleaned up the garage. I am so thankful for him.

New Year's trip to Oregon

While I was in Oregon I went sledding, snowmobiling and spent a lot of time with Jake's family and my family. It was nice and relaxing.
