quick update

I spent the last weekend in my home town, Prineville. I attended my 10 year class reunion. I surprised that most of them didn't change much. Those partiers all got drunck and acted totally stupid, but it was kinda funny to see. I got to see some really good friends of mine and I had a great time. There was even some people that I was really surprised to see. I took my girls by the houes that I grew up in, and the new owners have totally trashed, so sad. I got to see my grandma also which was great.
This morning I got a job in the pediatric unit at the hospital. I will work an on call position and will also be trained to work in the OB if they ever need any help over there. I think that i will really love this job. The only thing that stinks is that I will be covering for one of there aids that is going on maternity leave, so it will be full time for about 6 weeks. I am only doing it to get my foot in the door. Thanks to all my family who is being so supportive and helpful with my girls.

THe Ludlum House

We had originally rented this house when we were living in Montana, in December. So Brett had the time off then. But when we moved back to Oregon and Brett got his new job he couldn't;t take the time off. SO Poor Brett dropped us off on Sunday and went back home to work till the next weekend when he got to come up. My parents, Jana, Heidi, Nate and Brenden were all able to come up and spend time during the week, and then on the weekend Brett's parents came up also. This house is out in the woods in Brookings Oregon. It sits on about an acre of grass surrounding it and a river right behind it. It was so beautiful there. We had a great time and loved the peace and quiet.









We enjoyed the hikes in the redwoods that we all took.















This is some pictures of the house. There was no running water and just a hand pump. There was a vaulted toilet that was kept nice and clean. Thank goodness.


















This is my Dad spoiling me, giving me more light so that I could read. That is one of my favorite things to do when I camp. I got threw two of my twilight series books while there.
My Dad (the best dutch oven cooker ever) made us lots of good food. So did Heidi and Nate, we split up the days for cooking. When my family left for Nick's wedding that we had to miss. Brett and his parents came up. My Dad left his dutch oven for me to use, I made ribs and peach cobbler and I did a great job, even ask my father in law, he said that I did an awesome job. I was impressed with myself but wished I could have shown my Dad how well I did.
Thanks for all that came up and shared the fun times with us. And Keri we really missed you, the boys would have had so much fun, next year you have to come. This will be an annual things for us (when possible).
