Alzheimer’s Memory Walk

Last weekend Andrea and I joined the team from ResCare HomeCare to help support the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk in Portland, OR.  Alzheimer’s is a disease that has affected my family and one that I have seen a lot of during my time as a caregiver so I was glad to help bring awareness to the disease.  There are still some walks going on in the state of Oregon next month and there is also the option to participate virtually if you wanted to help out as well!

School starting

I started my online classes today, I will be very busy and most likely very quiet here.  Well, not that that will be much of a change over the last six months.  But here are a few pics of what I have been up to lately.

Went to Jewel Meadow and saw some elk

Did Race for the Cure

Had some fun at Powells trying on some new glasses to go with my new hair cut.

 

Summer gone already?

This week has been a busy one.  Monday was Labor Day, which Becky and I spent traveling home from a fire in Omak, WA.  We were on the Milepost 281 Fire on the Colville Indian Reservation.  It was a quick up and down fire camp, but it was a great time.  And on the way home we got to take the Keller Ferry.

We had to leave Karrie and Laura behind for one round on the ferry:

Here is my current project on the ferry, they are called Walter’s Manly Socks:

After getting home from the fire late Monday night I got to catch up at the office from being gone.  I also got to register for classes for the upcoming quarter at Eastern Oregon University.  I was finally able to get on the phone with my advisor, we had been playing phone tag for about a month.  And I found out some great news! I have 24 upper division credits left to graduate, all of my course work is done for my major and two minors! This means that on March 20, 2010 I will be done with my undergraduate degree! I am pretty excited about this fact, hence all the exclamation points.
