What a week so far

My goodness this has been a week filled with all kinds of excitement, history, drama and anticipation. I am counting Sunday as the beginning of the week!!
Two big events started my week: The Cardinals and the PF Chang Rock n Roll Marathon.
Can you believe the Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl. Go Cardinals!!!!

Early Sunday am PF Chang held their annual Marathon.Three special guys ran this again. They are starting out 2009 as they do every year with the PF Chang Rock N Roll and then on to San Diego in June for that Rock n Roll and then in August it is to Quebec for that one. This is an annual event for these guys. So congrats to J, W, and D for completing another milestone like 26 miles!

Monday brought the start of One World One Heart. Many bloggers are participating including Maija pop over to her blog to sign up. Last I checked there were over 400 blogs participating with awesome give aways

It was also MLK Day. A day to reflect and honor

Then comes the much anticipated Inauguration. Unfortunately I was at work so really didn't get to see all the festivities or the swearing in ceremony. Once I got home like many I was glued to the TV. Here is to a future of change and hope

And last is the anticipation of the release of kits tomorrow. Again Joli Paquet is doing tutorials and tomorrow is kit releases from participating instructors and vendors. Can't wait.


So here is to a quiet day at work tomorrow and a somewhat quiet restful weekend. Ya right but I can hope

Final Goodbyes

Image
It has been a gut wrenching sad and emotional two months for the Struchen's. We have said our final goodbyes with many tears, laughter, sadness and breaking hearts. Dad passed on Feb 25th and now Mom has joined him on March 10th.  We knew Mom was very ill but none of us expected that she would go so very quickly. And now as my sister says we are orphans.  We are still family but right now without Dad and Mom to bring us and keep us all together as they had worked so hard to do all these years. As I had written on Caring Bridge Dad was our hero, our mentor our DAD.  It is so hard to realize there are no more early am text messages or emails  no more 4pm Sunday phone calls.  There is a giant void in my heart Mom seemed to think she always took a back seat to Dad.  But she was always there to help us, give us strength hold us to a higher standard.  "We Struchen women are tough" she used to tell me when I was needing a listening ear.  "You c...

Where did the weekend go????

Image
It doesn't seem to matter if I have 3 days off or a normal Saturday & Sunday off, it is never ever enough. Here it is already 7pm and I am getting ready for work tomorrow. Last early day and then back to the old routine. So what did I accomplish this weekend?? not too much as far as the home front goes. Just the usual laundry and clean but no yard work. Now on the creative level I had a great inspiring weekend. I rode to Payson with Earleen and Annette on Sat am for a class by the 2 gypsy girls Debbie and Paula . I had my doubts I could construct a house that would stand. Due the patience of the 2 Gyspsie Girls my house is still standing today:) I loved this class. The roof holds the little album and the clever use of the 7 Gypsy elastics made the page signatures so easy. After class we joined Annette and her family at their reunion. Invited crashers we were. We feasted on Alaskan Salmon thank you Robert and all the yummy goodies from a reunion. A couple of q...
