******Being Thursday Jonathan and I have Thursday Night Party. Unfortunately we are the only Alias fans among the usual group, and it is not at our place tonight, so we are going to miss the season premiere!!!!!!!
SO- if any of you have a working TV and VCR- I would be unbelievably thrilled if you could record it for me... especially if I am going to be seeing you soon.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, I will even give you a new blank tape if you want...
If you think you can help me out, please leave a comment or give me a call to let me know so I can rest easy. ******
Thanks- I love you all (even if you don't like Alias)
God Bless!
The Up's and Down's, In's and Out's of daily life with a loving husband, a sweet boy, a fun-loving gal and a new life in the Philippines! God has indeed blessed us.

Back to My Boring Blogs...
Hello all!
All has been well up here, Joy was bored so she came over to visit and share dinner with us, then Laura joined us. We tried Papa Murhy’s “Big Murphy” stuffed pizza- and boy was it good! A single slice was like 2 slices of a regular pizza! Jonathan, Laura and I played a great game of poker- Jonathan was the first one out, then it was just Laura and I! I managed to whittle her down to just a couple of dollars before she had to head home, so all in all (from my perspective) it was a great game!! Work has been going well. One of My co-workers spent the weekend in Hawaii and brought back an anklet for each of us, it is really pretty! I have a window in my “cubicle” and just love to watch the leaves change colors. Jonathan and I are looking forward to visiting all the folks in Longview this weekend. I am not looking forward to a consultation about having my wisdom teeth removed. And we are looking forward to some new fall traditions, last year we went to a corn maze near by and had a great time! This year we are going to do it again and have some friends over to go with us and follow it up with a turkey feast! I am really excited. Then come December we will head to Leavenworth with Dan and Joy on our annual Tree lighting trip! Then Christmas will come!! I simply cannot wait to sing Christmas Carol without being chastised by all who know me!
Well that’s life in a nutshell.
God Bless!

The Descent of Autumn
Hello all! It’s officially fall, not just because the calendar says so, but because the leaves are turning a beautiful red color and we had our first fire in the fireplace last night at Thursday night get together. We sat and sipped tea- it was quite enjoyable!
I am excited… I get to go visit my Grandma and Grandpa Nesler tomorrow!!! I haven’t seen them in ages! Life is good, I am now officially dreaming of Christmas and attempting to withhold the carols that I want to start singing, but can’t until after Thanksgiving. Sigh. It was (and still is) cold this morning, my breath was quite visible when I was outside- I am wearing a sweater today, I love cozy sweaters!!
The only negative thing about fall is that everyone seems to be getting sick, including myself. I am going to fight this onslaught as hard as I can, but I have a feeling that I will eventually have to succumb. Oh well.
There is not a lot going on right now, so that is really it. Hope you are all enjoying the autumn colors as much as I am!
God Bless!

What really Happened
It is a lovely sunny Monday morning. I have an African Violet sitting with its smiling purple face in my window here at work. All is going well, Jonathan and I really enjoyed ourselves Friday night, we ended up not going dancing, but we did spend a riotious evening with Kristin and Natalie. We met Nat’s boyfriend and enjoyed delightful Mexican hot chocolate with marshmallows, while playing “Trivial Pursuit” It got late so we left before the end of the game, but my team was tied for first.
Saturday morning we went to the Puyallup Fair!! What fun! We looked at many things, including a very impressive Dahlia Display. We had a caricature of us done and went on a couple of rides. And we ate!! We have Pete’s BBQ and an Elephant ear, and a horse and cow pie. I think the horse was my favorite and next time I will just forget the cow. We looked at all the livestock, I decided that I wanted a goat, then changed my mind and wanted a llama instead. Though, if I ever had a barnyard animal I would really just want a horse. But the llama’s were a lot of fun.
We arrived home just after Chris and Jan showed up and enjoyed some time together before hitting the sack. Sunday was enjoyable and relaxing.
I will try to post some pictures when I get home for your enjoyment.
That’s all for now folks!
God Bless!

Finally, another Blog from Renton...
Hey all!
Well life has been good! I love my new job and it is going really well. For those who want the details, here goes.
I am the “Design Center Coordinator” for SuperFloors, a company that sells flooring, countertops and window treatments to buyers of new homes. They buyers come in and pick everything out then it is installed into they new home! It is a cool store as I am surrounded by hardwood, nice carpet and beautiful granite! My job includes assisting the design manager and scheduling appointments for our designers, who walk through with the buyers and assist them in their choices. Each appointment is usually 2-3 hours long, and I have to make sure that the designers don’t get double booked , and make sure that the buyers get in before their deadline. So far it is really good, once I am accustomed to this they will give me more to do, so I won’t get bored!!! YAY!!
This is going to be a fun/crazy weekend, Friday night Jonathan and I are going to go hang out with friend Kristin who we haven’t seen in ages, and go swing dancing at the Washington Dance Club. I am really looking forward to it!! Then Saturday we are heading to the Puyallup fair!!! I love the Puyallup fair I have been there almost every year that I can remember, except last year cause we were way to busy with the wedding an all that. So I am looking forward to it. Also, it is the day that Laura comes back to Seattle!!! Yay, we have missed her (shhhh, don’t tell, she will get a big head).
Anyway Chris and Jan will be staying with us overnight after moving Laura back up. Then, on Sunday morning I am meeting my aunt Wendy at FloorCo (which is a flooring company we own that sells to the public) and we are shopping for flooring because I have a discount with work and I can get all my relatives a similar discount! She just bought a fixer upper, so I get to be of some help!
Also we will be putting hardwood floor into our dining room!!! I cannot wait!! It’s so beautiful, its red birch and wow. You will all have to come up and see my new pretty floors!
Then of course we have church and Jonathan and I are both on the worship team Sunday night. So that is our weekend. We got a letter from Grandpa Larry and Grandma Ruth that we enjoyed reading. It was as good as a blog! It included an wonderful picture of Grandad Ferguson with Mike.
We Love all of you!

Labor Day Picnic
Hello all! I am quite ashamed at my lack of blogging, now that life is interesting I don't have time to tell you about it. I am sure I will blog a lot about nothing now htat it is slowing down a bit!
We decided that we ought to see the Port Orchard Riedesel's and called up Gloria, unfortunately most of them had plans, but luckily Gloria was free, so we decided to meet in Tacoma and split the drive. We had a delightful Picnic and explored a bit of Tacoma.
At the end of the day we headed to The Old Spaghetti Factory for Dinner, wow was it good! Then we stopped to get me some shoes so we could go dancing! We found a great Salsa Spot on 19th and Fawcett, called "The Abbey". It is an old church building, and it was a lot of fun! I was able to learn some new things and remember some old ones!
Any way - we love you all and hope you enjoy our photos!
God Bless!
