It's Friday....YEA!

Well Today is Friday!

I am so happy it is finally here....This is why!

Tomorrow we are going over to the Oregon coast for some much needed R & R! We will go to Ikea...one of the funnest stores on the planet to shop at!  We will start looking for college things for Amanda to take to NNU. Then we will buy some swedish fish, (we always do!) and then we may look for some other fun bargins to use at Amanda's Graduatin party, paper products are a great deal there! The new portland Ikea is two stories and very large so it will take a while to get thru it!  After we spend time there on Saturday we will head over to our hotel, it is closer to the road to Cannon Beach.  We decided not to stay "in" Cannon Beach because Bill has a bunch of hotel points so we can stay for free.  So our entire visit will be for "free" ya gotta love things for free!  Well having the hotel for free makes it so we can afford Gas for the car.... Gas prices are out of control; last week I filled up my suburban and it was almost $100!  That is crazy! It has NEVER cost that much!  So that was no fun! Anyway, back to our spring break get away.  Then we will head over to the beach on Sunday and hang out, go to all our favorite shops, go to the Salt water taffy store and the Roxy store!  Take some amazing pictures and maybe get some sweet "senior" pictures of Amanda with her new camera.  So hope the weather cooperates.  Then we will go back to Cannon Beach on Monday or we may go down to Lincoln City for the day or over to Long Beach/ Astoria area for the day.  We have never been to Lincoln City and have heard it is a fun place from lots of people, but Amanda would love to take come pictures of the bridge in Astoria and go see Long Beach.  We haven't been there since we went with our friends the Zurchers in 2002! So it would be fun and bring back some great memories. 

Well time to go.... and start the day!

I am planning to take my friend Machelle to lunch today to celebrate her birthday. So that will be fun!

Although I am a bit sad today....Phil and Aimee were suppose to be here this weekend....and they needed to stay and work on finishing homework at school (NNU).  So not sure when we will see them next.  Probably not until May.  I miss them very much! But completely understand, finishing up the semester strong is the best! But if you guys read this....know you are greatly missed.  It would have been great to see you, of course you know we would not have made plans to go over to the coast if you were going to be here.  So that was an afterthought when we realized you were not able to come home this weekend.  

Well this post is kinda all over the place with thoughts, but I guess that is what blogs are for, to just share your thoughts!

 So there ya go, for whoever reads this....these are Thoughts from Me, today! 

 Have a great Friday!
