Due to popular demand...

I've decided to update my blog. I've added posts from newest to oldest starting from the top, so if you want to go in chronological order, I would recommend scrolling down a ways and moving up. As you like.


I thought it would only be appropriate to post this picture I took just today of me in my skirt and scarf Lisa brought back for me from Thailand. So beautiful, only accentuated by my beautiful pose, of course. =)


POST'S EVERYONE!!!...movie?

Happy Easter!!!

We had such a lovely Easter. Mum, da, Kammi and Daniel came over to join G'ma, Amy, Bear, Magster and myself. The unfortunate part was that the water had stopped running completely Saturday night because the wire from the pump to the electrical outlet in the house busted, so we only had a cooler of water Charise had brought over (I don't know if I've mentioned that Charise is my roommate, and has been for the last couple of months...very fun). So, we enjoyed our Easter Feast on paper plates. It didn't change the taste of the food, it was still Belicious! (PS, the water is working again...what a blessing. It really made me think about food, and water storage, and how important it is. If all of the electricity went out on the peninsula for a couple of days, we wouldn't have even had the cooler! Good, clean water is so precious!)


Charise let me wear her cute Easter dress. Don't you love it?! I do!

Welcome to AK, Bear and Geegee

Aunt Karen and Maggie came up to stay with us and help Grandma McCubbins and Amy while Lisa, Michael, Courtland and Dreamie went to Thailand. We went for a walk on the beach and found all kinds of pretty rocks. Maggie found all kinds of pretty mud. =) It was so fun having them here!

The King and I

Before I left for California, I was helping with the community play, The King and I, and I got to watch it when I got back. I was in charge of making the king's wives hoop dresses stay up when they bowed to the king, subsequently flashing the english captain. Very funny! I did it by sewing hoops of PVC pipe to their hoop skirts, then, attached a piece of elastic from the back of the hoop to one of their legs so they could walk and dance, but when they bowed it would keep the skirt from flopping forward. This is me with my girls in their dresses, then bowing. Oh, my! It looked better when the lights were on and they weren't so cramped, but you get the idea. =)

Los Angeles...Feb 20-24th

I went down to LA and hung out with Paul. We had a good time playing at the beach, going running, watching the lunar eclipse, eating authentic Mehican taco's, riding rides at Six Flags, and catching me up on Lost! We went out for BBQ chicken salad one night, and Paul did a caricature of me on my plate w/ BBQ sauce...hilarious. For the inquiring minds...I haven't heard from him since I was there...make of it what you will.

I spent a day down at Western University...went on a tour, attended a couple of classes with the PA students who are in their first year. The students said things like "Western has the best program!" I have to admit, I really was more excited about the program there, a lot because of the way the students acted. 2 things I have noticed about PA students though: 1. there seem to be generally more women than men, and 2. those men are generally short. Interesting.

San Francisco

I stayed with Mary and Wilson Lee and their adorable children for a night! We had such a great time! Thanks so much!


I interviewed at Touro University on Mare Island in San Francisco the next morning. I didn't have the best impression of the school and area...a bit run down. Though, because it was on an old navy base, my classes would have been in the old officer's dining hall! Woot-woo!
My interview lasted from 8:00am to 4:30pm. When I asked the current students what they thought about the school, they said, things like "um, yeah, it's a pretty good school". They also said to expect coming out with about $140,000 in debt. That made me really excited to go there. ;) I enjoyed the interview process...it's always so fun to expound on all of my incredible attributes; I'm handsome, regal, majestic, yes, yes, loveable, a cuddly face...

I am yukon woman!

So, the day before I left for my trip it had snowed all night and the wind was blowing 60+ mph. You can't see it, but the snow was flying horizontally! I was cruisin' (more like crawlin') down the driveway, turned the corner, and proptly got myself stuck. I had to dig my way out. Fortunately I had my ski goggles, gloves and pants.
I had a long layover in Seattle on my way down to San Francisco. I got to spend the day w/ Daniel. Too bad he was puky and couldn't go to church with me and his dad...we had a nice time anyway. =)
