Thanksgiving In Carnation

Thanksgiving was spent at Laura's with my three little nieces. As always it was crazy and fun. Laura made a wonderful dinner with Turkey, Duck and Salmon.
The best part was when we sat down for dinner we were present with a paper that had written why the Mills were grateful for each of us. It was very touching a wonderful gift. Melia had a great one when she said...I'm grateful you have red hair so I can tell you and mommy apart. How precious!

Wii...Sherk 3. Rding the Donkey and the Sack Races were a hit.
Playing in the attic while getting Christmas decorations down.

Grandma loving Ellie

Just hanging around...Melia truly is.

It snowed!!! That was the second best part.

A month of Harry Potter

My friend Arianne found out that I had never see the Harry Potter movies. The new movie was coming out in a month so we decided to watch them all so I could go see it with her.

In the mean time Arianne called me up one Thursday and asked if I wanted to go to Orland to The Harry Potter World. She works for the airlines so the flight was free. We left Friday Morning and came back Tuesday. It was a blast. We went to Universal and Treasure Island. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of Harry Potter it was amazing. The weather was great and we met a lot of great people.

A few weeks after we got back then we headed to the theater to see the first half of movie number 7.

Sprint Tri Relay

I was signed up for a relay Triathlon with Andy and Joseph my first ever. And it was just a week before my knee blew out and I couldn't walk.
However I didn't want to let them down so I was determined to do my part, a 13 mile bike ride.
The drive the Bellingham was spent, talking singing and Joseph sleeping. As we arose in the morning the rain was coming down as we set off for Lake Sammamish. We geared up and were ready to go. Joseph was our swimmer, me the biker, and Andy our runner.
We came in 7th! Sure there were only 7 relays, but that's ok, it was still fun. It really wasn't any ones best day.
However, we did win the raffle!

Shoot em Up

Saturday was a typical fall day in the Northwest. Wet and a little chilly but that didn't stop the boys, Matt and Witt, from taking Arianne and I out in the woods for a little shooting practice.
When we arrived the back of the car was opened and the guns were laid out, Jack Bauer and CTU would of been impressed with the variety of guns and ammunition that were displayed.
The targets were set and war began. I think my inner Sydney Bristo came out.

My Island Home

The time had come again to take flight over the great pacific to my island home. Once again it was filled in Sun, Sand, Tan, Adventure and injuries.


We adventured into Honolulu for a night and hit the town...after we created a traffic jam waiting for a parking spot, and after I ran 6 blocks in a skirt and barefoot to get my camera I forgot.
Photo op, after an afternoon snorkeling. Which we did everyday we where there.I hadn't been to the PPC for years. So it was fun to go back. It helped that Bucky's dad got me in for the day and the night show for $20. Gotta love a great hook up.


An amazing day spent kayaking and snorkeling...until a guy slammed his kayak into my knee...which was already recovering from an injury. I was out for the rest of the day. But I didn't complain having to lay on the beach. One of the many amazing sunsets.


The week was amazing but the best part was being able to spend a whole week with Bucky!

Sunny Days

The Sun has finally decided to come out since its been hiding for the past 3+ months. I have taken full advantage of it.

A week with no Shower!!

After a flight to Reno, a basketball game in the airport bar, a flight to Las Vegas sitting next to a cute Oral Surgeon-married but who has 5 brother, a night in St George with Bart and Kami. We were ready to headed off on the to back roads of Southern Utah.

Here is our my adventure...I live my life for times like this.

Sunny Weekend

What the sun is out? This doesn't happen in February so I had to take advantage of it. I got in the car and it took me to Tacoma. Where I went to he Glass Museum. I took a few pics and then got in trouble, but I will have them. The mountains where out in all their glory.


Its days like this I love Washington.
