School Books

I have just spent the last week in my Literature class reading, watching and disecting the book Smoke Signals by Sherman Alexie and it brought back memories (and made me want to read another of his books called The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian which is now added to my favourite books off all time.

Well reading both of his book brough me back to my childhood.

-Back to the days where I would watch my uncles clean salmon
-Where I would watch my aunties make the most delicious bannock
- Where I would watch my GrandMA do beadwork.
-It made me remember the days that I would steal food from other kids lunches in grade school because I had none of my own ( and sometimes no breakfeast).
-These books made me remember how often I got moved around from school to school, so much so that I don't really remember any of my school teacher's names

These books and this class have started a dialogue within myself about a past I thought was forgotten, about a life that I thought was lost and a story that each one of us has to tell

I love reading blogs

just not so much into writing them these days

maybe when school starts again

Gosh

Sorry

I suck at writing, consistently.

I get sucked into my non blog life and forget about my blog life, when really they are basically one in the same.

Update:

Tomorrow I have a job interview at 10 am at Horizon Bank. I need a job. I want a job.

I thought my dog ran off and got lost but he really just got locked in our spare room.

I won 3 one hour massages from my Gym from a fitness challenge I was involved in.

My husband and I have been going fishing lately...our boat is from the 1940's. It is a shady boat.

I am listening to the Ruth Series by Marc Driscol right now. Listen to it. It is really good.

roadtrip

So I just came home from an amazing road trip with my honey and have a whole bunch of photos i want to share with you....

so i will
... when i figure it all out.

Photo Time

so it would seem that i have been mute as of late
i don't know where i lost my voice because i havn't really found it yet
what i have found is pictures on my camera taken by a 6 year old named Ava ( she loves taking pictures)

So this will be a picture post of three varieties
1) pictures I took of Ava when me and her were doing girly type things
2) pictures Ava took of our mini trip to Canada
3) pictures of my little doggy

( Ava and I were cooking dinner and she was begging and begging to wear her flower girl dress from our wedding so i said yes but only if she wore one of her daddy's shirts and my apron over top. She was so happy and looked really cute trying to peel potatoes).


Malfunctions.

So two pictures in and blogger decided it did not want to be my friend and let me upload anymore.

Booo, maybe later.

We got our furniture today. It is too big for our living room. I like our new furniture.
I might have a job. I dont know much about it. I think I start monday.

Sunny Days

I was going to write a blog about something specific but couldn't concentrate enough to write it out ( I am easily distracted)

I went on a afternoon motorcycle ride with my hunny today and it was pretty sweet. We rode to Fort Casey ( which is friken creepy) and enjoyed some amazing scenery along the way, I wish I had brought a camera because the Olympic mountains looked heroic and inspiring. It was a day of beauty that made me remember how great the creation around me is and how often I go about my days not even realizing that i am surrounded by wonder.
I love where I live.


Update on the dog with three names.
I love him. He is sweet. He loves us. He fits in. He listens ( kinda). He is happy all the time.
