A New Beginning

I am beginning a journey, that I cautiously hope turns out well.  Everyone has heard 'forgive and forget', and how bad it is to carry a grudge.  Now, I'm a pretty good grudge carrier, and feeling very 'once bitten, twice shy'.  However, I am also hoping that what I am trying to salvage was true, and that in the long run, I will look back at it as a bump in the road.  Maybe I'm just a sucker.  I almost always look for the best in people, and never think of the bad stuff first.  I hope that doesn't come back to bite me.  Only time will tell, and I really hope they work out positively.  Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me.  So here goes, wish me luck!

Jr. High all over again!

I had the pleasure of joining Janelle on her 8th Grade trip to Sacramento and San Francisco!  It was exhausting, and a ton of fun.  It was great getting to spend that time with her, she is growing up so fast.  We were kept very busy the entire 4 days, and I really enjoyed it.  All the chaperones got along splendidly, and I think we found every Starbucks in the Bay Area.  Can't believe she graduates Elementary School in a week and a half!  Here are some highlights of our trip!

Oh yeah!  We both went on the Screamer at Scandia in Sacramento!

At the Hysterical Walk of the Dead in Old Sacramento.

Janelle and her buddy Sasha.

The Giants game was a highlight!

Janelle really enjoyed the ballpark.

Ice Skating in San Mateo.

We walked the Golden Gate on the last day.



That barely shows everything we did.  The Jelly Belly Factory, the Exploratorium and the California Academy of Sciences were awesome too.  So glad I got to go!
