I have not seen G in over 20 years but we picked up like it had been 20 minutes. It is so great to have somebody in your life that does not judge you and is family in all but blood. So Kai and I drove through the night to get from Heber to Denver arriving just with the rush hour traffic, which I have to say was not as bad as I thought it was going to be but bad enough to remind me why I live and work in a small town. Getting to his house I was greeted by his 2 lovely children B1 and B2, Kai was a little unsure of the situation given they had both a dog and a cat in the house but soon warmed up to G. and basically followed him or his mother-in-law around for the rest of the day. We left the house and went to City Park at about 11 which ment we had 3-4 hours to wait till the President got there. Lucky for us we were able to get in a pretty good location near the band and as long as other people did not have their cameras in the air we were able to see the podium where the President was going to be speaking. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The crowd was great, I felt like the turnout was huge but then again reference my small town statement above. People were having fun, were polite and excited all in all it was a great scene that I have not really been close to since the mid to late 80's when we used to march against all sorts of things in Eugene while in high school or the rally I went to with Up House and Adverb when she was little for Jessie Jackson. I will say the energy for Obama was more positive than it was at the Jackson Rally and that I feel Obama is a better speaker. Just a personal opinion here. After about 2 hours of listening to a fairly good band and then some local politicians like the mayor of Denver and the Governor of Colorado we finally got to hear the President and I must say I think he is great, his message is positive he knows there is still work to be done and he is ready to take it on. I will be voting for him based on what he has done over the last 4 years to help our country and what I hope he can do over the next 4 years. I know that nobody is perfect and I would agree that he has his flaws but I truly think that he cares for the people of this country and will do what he can to make it better for the poor and the middle classes. He is also for equal rights for all citizens which is a very important consideration for me and others I know and love, fair pay for women, and a women's right to make her on healthcare choices. While I do not see his health plan being the best for the country that is only because I think we should have gotten the insurance companies totally out of the picture. I do believe though that his health plan will provide care for millions that were not able to get it before and they can get preventative care and not only emergency care which is going to make it less expensive in the long run for all of us. Ok so off of my soap box, here are some of the pictures from the rally.</span><br />

I always get so excited by a new class and as far as I can tell Shimelle's classes are the best ones online. I really do not think there has been one that I have taken that I did not learn something from. This new class is all about using and mixing patterned paper. Anybody that knows me knows that I love patterned paper more than just about anything except travel and my kids. So when the new class started today I was ready to jump right in. What do you know she used a pp line that I could only find two sheets of in my stash. What was I to do? Below is what I came up with. Thanks Shimelle for the inspiration. Sorry the last pic of the layout is blurry I will try and get a better one tomorrow if the rain and wind stop and I can take it out side.

I am going to try a new way of doing things this year and her 10 week approach sounds very doable. I am still not sure where we will be for Christmas this year but if we are home I look forward to decorating and cooking.

A great day for those who get into dates, I for one probably would not have noticed except for the fact that it seems that everybody is talking about it. I worked with a nurses aide a few years ago that really wanted to have her first baby on 6-7-08 but she ended up having him on 6-8-08 and was so happy that his last number rhymed with his name Nate. But in honor of the date, I decided to go with 11 of my favorite photos from 2011. It has been a busy year, Camping in Colorado, and California we live in Utah. Trips to Disneyland x2( if you count next weeks trip), Las Vegas and China, knee surgery again and with that a visit from Mom which was great.<br />
Also today in the United States it is Veterans day and I want to honor four of the very special men in my family that have served our country. I am not the worlds biggest patriotic person but I do think that these men and the service they have given are special. 3 of them served in WWII and are some of the greatest men I knew save for my father and husband, and my cousin who is still serving in the Navy to all of you and my friend Destiny and her husband who were in Yugoslavia thank you!<br />

</div>These may not be my best photos of the year but they do the best job of telling a story to me when I look at them.<br />
<br />
Next in this blog event is 11 things I want to accomplish in 2011<br />
1. Finish my Ethics class<br />
2. Start the next class in my Masters program<br />
3. See the Ocean (take an Oregon girl away from the beach for too long and she gets home sick)<br />
4. Spend more time having fun with the kids<br />
5. Cook more meals at home, we have become lazy and eat out way to often<br />
6. Mail Brittany's presents to China<br />
7. Send off Rachel's application for her passport, and take her to pick up her drivers permit<br />
8. Decorate the house for Christmas this is one I am looking forward too<br />
9. Fold the laundry when it is first dry, I have a terrible habit of letting the clean clothes pile up on the dryer.<br />
10. Spend more time crafting<br />
11. Spend less time on the computer.<br />
<br />
11 things I have learned in 2011<br />
1. Durango Colorado is not as close as it looks on a map<br />
2. I enjoyed visiting China it was something I was not really looking forward to, now I can not wait to go back<br />
3. Third time might be a charm for my right knee but I am not going to test that theory<br />
4. Rachel le wee is a good driver but she still makes me nervous<br />
5. 3 dogs is more work than 2<br />
6. If you do not see the humor in things you will go crazy, i.e. Kai outside in 32 degree weather without pants, and the following visit from the city police.<br />
7. There is a thing as too much work<br />
8. The kids seem to need me more as they get older even if they do not seem to think they do.<br />
9. I take much better photos of things than people, but that the people mean the most<br />
10. I still love living in Utah<br />
11. Family camping trips are stressful, but when I look back all I remember is the fun parts.<br />
<br />

I have made albums before, I have half way finished albums before and I have skipped it all together before also. But this year I really wanted to do something that was prepared in advance and would be easy to use every day. I work 12 hour night shifts so on the days I work just getting a photo and a bit of journaling done is all I can manage so I knew that I had better get going, plus what a better way to avoid writing an Ethics Paper for my Masters Class or cleaning house right. So I went shopping, I shopped Etsy, I shopped 2peasinabucket.com I shopped A Cherry on Top, I shopped Technique Tuesday and I shopped my stash. I looked at Ali Edwards foundation pages and I wished I lived in the UK so that I could have gotten the lovely kit put together by Shimelle in full. In the end I ended up with a stack of patterned paper that was almost an inch thick. So I had to edit thanks to Skype and my bbf I got the stack of pretty papers down to about 30 sheets. Then I needed so inspiration so I read posts on 2peas in a bucket, and the 2010 forum for JYC, I watched Youtube videos and I came up with a plan. I already had the album I started last year, never got further then than the front cover and even it was not finished, so I finished it. It came with 6 8x8 chipboard pages, I also have 6 6x6 chipboard pages, and in my stash I found some 8x8 divided page protectors. So that is what I am going with. As of this morning I have finished the first 2 pages and the cover of the album, except for the numbers since I am still waiting for my 2011 stamps to come from Technique Tuesday.<br />
So here is my beginning to JYC 2011. I will use the tags for photos or journaling when the time comes and the date will go on the circles that look pretty empty right now. <br />

I came across these on Ali Edwards blog this evening and thought what a great idea, random thankful thoughts. I thought I might be a little more purposeful with mine and try and do one a week till the end of the year and post them on Fridays, as these tend to be a busy day around our house and not much time for crafting is available.<br />
My first thankful thought is of my Mom, she is my rock. The person that taught me to be who I am. She is there when I need her and also knows how to give enough space that I never feel crowded or overwhelmed by her attentions. She believes in me, for which I am truly thankful. She is a great Grandma to my kids, teaching them things that I would never think of but that are truly important in life, like how to garden and sew a hem. She has instilled in my my life long love of reading and learning for which I am grateful for.<br />
<br />
On another note I would love to share a link to my daughters blog, she is living and working in China for the second year as an elementary school teacher and I am so proud of her.<br />

I must say it was hard to find papers with white backgrounds in my stash. I seem to have a lot of them that are based on cream colored backgrounds. I did find that I had more brights than I thought I did which is a good thing as far as I am concerned because brights make me happy. It might be fall outside but that does not mean that I need to scrap with only browns and oranges right?<br />
Here are my three sets of patterned papers, and the layouts I did with them. I decided to not use any card stock at all for these layouts, mostly because I am lazy and I did not want to go out into the garage and find any.<br />

I really enjoy fresh produce, having grown up on a mini farm in Oregon I am sure that I did not know that peas can frozen from the store until I was in High School My mom was a great gardener and all of our meals always contained fresh or freshly canned fruits and veggies that we had grown ourselves. <br />
Well as an adult I have never had the land to go the veggies that my mom did but I did discover a wonderful way to get fresh fruits and seasonal vegetables into the house on a weekly basis. Bountiful Baskets is a great food co-op that provides the best of the best on a weekly basis. My only problem with them has been that the pick up is on Saturday mornings and it is hard to get there after a 12 hour night shift, but I do try to get a basket on the weeks that I am not working.<br />
Why you ask am I posting about this today, well there was an email from them in my inbox today that said this<br />
"Dear Amber,<br />
<br />
We suggested on Facebook tonight that it might be fun to connect a few families with a dietitian to help them use their Bountiful Basket to give their diet an overhaul to meet their health goals. The families and dietitians will all blog about their experiences so the rest of us can learn some new tricks and hopefully get healthier and more motivated as we watch their success. Hundreds of families responded that they would love to do this. We realized we needed a better way to select who would be the lucky families!<br />
<br />
If you are interested please follow the link, and fill out the survey. We hope to get this going by November.<br />
<br />
Best,<br />
Sally & Tanya"<br />
and it really got me thinking what a great opportunity this would be for all of us. Rachel as an average teenager could use some healthy eating tips, Abby and I could both use to eat better and loose some weight and as a pre-diabetic it is very important for me to do so, and I would love to be able to have a dietician work with Kai and see what part diet plays in his autism. <br />
I know that it is a long shot that I would be one of the chosen families but this is something that has gotten me very excited.<br />
Here are a couple of pictures I took of one of our wonderful baskets this summer.<br />

<br />
I have more pretty patterned paper than I know what to do with, so I thank one of my favorite online if not my favorite online teachers Shimelle for offering this class. I really look forward to using up some of my stash and getting some nice layouts and cards done. I have been really bad about scrapbooking this year but that does not mean that I have stopped collecting. Here are a few pics of my patterned paper stash that I took for the first challenge of this course.<br />

So here it is and those of you that are in Shimelle's class that have read it I am sorry for the fact that you are reading the same thing twice.<br />
<br />
Was thinking on perfect all day, never got to my photo because I could not get the perfect shot, never got to the blog because I did not have the perfect words. Never got to a scrapbook page because there was not the perfect paper. But in reality I know that nothing man made is ever perfect, we are good, we are even great but we are not perfect and I rarely strive to be. Just ask my kids I am far from the perfect mom or the perfect cook or housekeeper. But on the way out the door looking over my not so perfect yard thinking I needed to weed badly there was a beautiful perfect flower, not any flower mind you but a thistle and in its tenacious hold to be where it should not be I did realize and think that nature is pretty perfect after all.<br />

I also want to keep my blog current to help me remember my time in school the first time around 20 years ago seems like such a blur, maybe that is because I had 2 small children and all I did was be a mom and a student. This time around I am still a mom but also have a full time job that I love. Abby my youngest is now home schooled so I am hoping that we can get some time to study together.</pre><p><img id="blogsy-1303549140277.809" class="" alt=""></p><p class=""><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQvc1vpp4aV-YTpzAY9WafVFHD9tgEVqUqv3uUADyuUUOek9O4XQ5DuES2tdz08U8Z5tAgccL6HqUGJ6xIC21WAqjxxL44Aqduwto7ZGBad3_vVNjYNVBxDr1e0_JOyOEuQe0qlCzn6hfY/" target="_blank"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQvc1vpp4aV-YTpzAY9WafVFHD9tgEVqUqv3uUADyuUUOek9O4XQ5DuES2tdz08U8Z5tAgccL6HqUGJ6xIC21WAqjxxL44Aqduwto7ZGBad3_vVNjYNVBxDr1e0_JOyOEuQe0qlCzn6hfY/s500/GEDC0843.JPG" id="blogsy-1303549148787.939" class="alignright" width="375" height="500"></a></p><p>This is Bri in China when I visited her in Feb, we are hoping that I can take the girls there in October for the National Day holiday.<br/>Ok well enough rambling I am going to go back to work/studying and hope that this works and I can start blogging again.<br/></p>Amber Letulihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18374037571123574243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148429271583617581.post-37604847260999610492011-01-15T18:48:00.001-07:002011-01-15T18:48:39.998-07:00reading lisr for the 3rd week of Jan 2011,<p><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAphWVDUO5l7t-WC4U784Xjvi4zlxw9f-yx06frJqsEYTj0Ry0xGzzof_zY5Q4JtFnctkAJfYw4WwdM6H9raCbu9V3SXgRl8jOzTY3UI9_b_ZsPhN2N8GCfyRIMKWpSMwSpspVZMCno1WA/'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAphWVDUO5l7t-WC4U784Xjvi4zlxw9f-yx06frJqsEYTj0Ry0xGzzof_zY5Q4JtFnctkAJfYw4WwdM6H9raCbu9V3SXgRl8jOzTY3UI9_b_ZsPhN2N8GCfyRIMKWpSMwSpspVZMCno1WA/s400/IMG_20110115_184629.jpg' /></a></p>What are you reading this week?<div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.5</div>Amber Letulihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18374037571123574243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148429271583617581.post-83794471970195261572010-12-05T19:14:00.000-07:002010-12-05T19:14:41.478-07:00More Abby and the Tree!<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitOA-PVLvxKeV8qlj1DMPIGd2a5y8aSFqBPS-E7EC3M5NqYLme-WWY3QTSESiJv77d79_TWE3vXNSOsPYpJbObOvRl4QmtjLgUYpjd3f6oZHuZxl_5OuQmde5D_80xz09RRLjo8u8tXWGg/s1600/GEDC0596.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitOA-PVLvxKeV8qlj1DMPIGd2a5y8aSFqBPS-E7EC3M5NqYLme-WWY3QTSESiJv77d79_TWE3vXNSOsPYpJbObOvRl4QmtjLgUYpjd3f6oZHuZxl_5OuQmde5D_80xz09RRLjo8u8tXWGg/s400/GEDC0596.JPG' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><br />Abby showing off the Christmas tree.

What is this you might ask, well it is a journal with a pretty cover. Why you might ask well because the new class at www.Shimelle.com started today and it is all about journaling.<br />

So please join me for the fun and lets start journaling our stories together.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also want to say thank you to <a href="http://www.simplyobsessed.com/">Simply Obsessed</a> for the wonderful online crop that they held this weekend, lots of fun games and great challenges. I finished 6 new layouts which for me is more than I have done all year. Here are my favorites of the weekend.<br />

I feel that this will hold both of us more accountable for her education and hey she can do it sitting on a <a href="http://www.allbarstools.com/">bar stool</a> in the family room or the dinning room table. So far her favorite place to learn is a couch in the living room. I like this too as it is a very long couch and we can both curl up on it and read or work on math together.<br />
Fall is deffinately in the air here, and luckly we got the heater fixed just in time since there has been frost on the ground the last 4 nights.<br />
Now to the giveway-I have been given the opportunity to giveaway a $35.00 gift certificate to <a href="http://www.csnstores.com/">CSN Stores</a> who could not use a little retail therapy?<br />
So post a comment on the blog by 10/20/2010 at midnight MST and I will draw a winner.<br />
The only catch to this is that you must live in the US or Canada to be eligible for the drawing.<br />
