Various Feb. 2010

Bowling. Fun. What else is there to say? Wait, I'm horrible at bowling, but I still love it.

My friend Amy here is the best. She is up for doing random things which I love. We drove around in the farms for a view good hours and had a great adventure.

A just because she's cute!

In February I had to go to AZ for some work, but I made a trip out of it. I spent Valentines Day with Sarah and we went on a nice date to AZ88 & to the movies to see Wolfman.

I popped by Ju's house for a quick visit, had an nice lunch at Rosa's (I would love some Rosa's right now) with my Grandma and enjoyed spending time with Mary (AND I GOT PITA JUNGLE!!)

I also spent an extra week with Clark's and newly married Bethie. We had so much fun just hanging out and doing nothing. I love my family/friends in Arizona and wish I could see them more often.

Sarah loved Portland show much she decided to move here. She came for job fair, but we got to play a little bit too! A trip out in the gorge was a must since she missed last time she was here. Can't wait for Miss Laidlaw to be an Oregonian!! Can I get a Whoot?!

Ranney Love in Arizona

My bestie bethie got married to Joe. I love them both and wish them much love. I'm lucky to have Bethie and her family in my life and I'm so proud of her and was so honored to stand up for her on their special day.

Kathy & Troy drove up from California to spend some holiday time with us. We enjoyed the cooler weather, ate lots of food, played with our pup-pup, and well....we all got sick. It was nice to have them come visit us at our new home over the holiday season. We made them Christmas stocking full of goodies and we got tickets to see Bill Cosby which was so fun. Gypsy loved their company and so did we.

My friend Sarah and her friend Amanda came to town for short visit on their way down the coast. I loved the randomness of their visit! We went to voodoo doughnuts, the velvet painting museum, and beer samplers were a must for them on their journey in the PNW. They were here for New Year's so we spent New Year's morning with for breakfast.

Gypsy's 1st Birthday: December 26th

We have a cute puppy. She turned one. She got to run and play and she got one big yummy antler for her birthday enjoyment. We love her. She loves us. It is one big lovefest.
