i added a few links to the right to some classes i will be teaching next year. within a few weeks, chris and i leave for NZ-sans kids. we’ve left the big kids for a few weeks before.. and els overnight only once. i’ll be gone for 10 days. i’ve been telling her about my plane trip and how mama (my mom) will take her to the park and get ice cream and sleep in my bed. she looks at me with those big brown eyes and shakes her head no. as much as i am going to miss her, it’s always nice for chris and i to get away.
in may, we’ll be heading to ITALY!!!
we’ve never been before and are soooo excited. one of the highlights of the trip will be that one of my BFF’s shannon will be going too! how fun!
so anyways, in 2008, i am also planning on going to Portland to visit my sweet SIL and possibly my cousin in the Bay area (I got a store referral from someone before.. if you read this can you resend that info?). If anyone has a local store that would be interested in having me come and teach… get in touch with me! With jac’s weekends filling up.. I want to make sure I have time to do the other thing i LOOOOVE doing… scrapbooking. 🙂 be in touch. i’d love to work it out!
