Well, we picked out the ring a few weeks ago and have been waiting for it. It seems Lucas has been spinning a web of lies about when it would be ready...making me think it was weeks away! Figures!
Anyway, Wednesday night is choir practice at Father Steve's and Mona's so I was there practicing. In the middle of choir he walked in and proposed, no pause or anything. It was wonderfully sweet and fun; I am so grateful. He set it up with Courtney earlier and he was able to film the whole thing. I could not have been happier with how it went. Our church family was there to watch and enjoy the whole thing with us! It was lovely!
The wedding is set for May 24th, the Sunday of memorial day weekend. It is going to be a small wedding at our church in Corvallis.
Thank you to everyone for your wonderful support, we are so excited and happy!
We will keep you updated!

A New Year!
Happy New Year! I hope you have all had a great start to the year! Lucas and I had a very nice winter holiday and now are back to the normal life. The first week back to school proved to be as busy as ever, but it was so nice to see the kiddos.
We spent part of break up in OC visiting the fam-including spending time with Sarah and Spencer as they have moved down from Bamfield-YEY! We are all pretty stoked-mind you Spencer is now gone to Australia and Sarah is in California, but I know that I get to see them soon again so it still counts as pretty exciting!
Lucas and I enjoyed our first Christmas in the same state. He has already had one guitar lesson; his present from me this year. We, unfortunately, did not get to enjoy much snow. We are too far south and therefore missed out on the Artic Blast. However, we did get to enjoy the tail end of it up in P-town. As you can see in the picture, we did have a little bit though-enough for the horses to enjoy! I am hoping for more though-I always want more snow!!!
That's all from the South Valley...
Have a great weekend!

Much to be Thankful for!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Though I have been listening to Christmas carols for the past week or so, I was still able to enjoy the holiday. We had a wonderful day with the grandparents. Spencer and Sarah are still in Canada, Les is hunting, and Wendy and Michelle were somewhere else, but the rest of us chowed down.
It was special to have Lucas with us, finally, and to enjoy time with the grandparents. I am so thankful to have them with us here!
Otherwise mom, Lucas, and I have lazed around-not doing much of anything! Can't beat that? I hope you all had an equally as enjoyable holiday! Be sure to check the web album for more pics!

A jaunt through the woods
Last week Mrs. Cairo and I took our kiddos to the forest for a hike. It was the end of our unit on forestry and turned out to be a great day. We took 60 kids and only one fell-much to the surprise of my sister Cheryl and Lucas who were betting on 10 kids down! Ha-take that! There was minimal whining and the weather even cooperated! It was a great day and Tonya and I always have fun when we can get out and about!
Otherwise things have been going along just great. Tonya and I had our big veteran's event on the 6th. The kids did a wonderful job and the turn out was outstanding. Mom and Les came down and they brought grandpa too. In the end we had about 250 veteran's and their families for the dinner. It was a lot of people! Grandpa said he had a very nice time but next year he wants to help! :) Of course!
Lucas has been busy working and moved into a place of his own. We are headed to P-town for Thanksgiving this week, a small crew made up mostly of grandparents, so it should be a nice day.
Hope you all have a great week and wonderful holiday!

Alive...
Greetings to you all. I am sorry to say that it has taken me this long to get on my computer and blog...but lets just put it this way. Today, I pulled my blinds for the first time in three weeks, because it was the first time I was here in the day light in three weeks...I wanted to blog about our great weekend visiting Spencer and Sarah in Bamfield (that was two weeks ago) then I wanted to blog about the Greek fest (that was last weekend) and now here I am...and all I have to blog about is weekends. Bamfield was amazing. We spent the weekend hiking around and cooking. We even got to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving...that was great! We saw three bears, a bunch of eagles and lots of great starfish.
Last weekend, we had the Greek fest which was a blast and went super well. Other then that I have mainly just gone to meetings. Oh, well last night was the school carnival and I did make over 200 snow cones which was very fun! Needless to say it has just been busy. I keep praying it will slow down so I have big hopes. My greetings to you all especially Chrissy who I was supposed to call back a week ago, Sarah Glathar who I was supposed to email three weeks ago, my mother who I wanted to go see two weeks ago, my brother who I havn't talked to in days, Kendra who lives 10 minutes away and I haven't seen in weeks, Melinda who is back from her honeymoon, Jess who's blog I haven't even been able to check, Megan who I haven't called back all week...hmmm should I go on...Oh you too Kels...congrats on graduating...hope to talk to you all soon...or at least in April when I am not president anymore! :) Be sure to check out our Bamfield pics on the web album http://picasaweb.google.com/misswood23

A Great Weekend!
We had a great weekend. As you can see above, one part of the weekend was a trip to the waterpark with Sam. Corvallis's water park has an end of the season dog party before draining their pools. Lucas and I were a little hesitant, not knowing what it would be like, but it was a blast! Sam about freaked out when he saw ALL of the dogs and WATER! Oh my gosh, what else is there, except maybe a pool full of food! :) Anyway, the whole thing was an absolute riot, unfortunately the pics aren't very good because he never stayed in one place long to take a picture. There was way too many friends and too much to do to waste time on a photo-op. This event will now be a permanent on our event calendar, as I am sure it is on Sam's too!
We also went to a wedding. My very good friend Melinda and Jeff were married this weekend and it was great! We had a wonderful time dancing with lots of old friends and catching up on all the news!
Now, we are getting ready to head up to Canada on Friday to see Spencer. With Spencer and Sarah preparing to move around Christmastime we want to get up to Bamfield one more time!
Hope you are having a great week so far! Be sure to look on the web album at the swim party pics! http://picasaweb.google.com/misswood23
