Sunrises and sunsets... 
A day comes and goes painting a beautiful canvas of color. This past week I was reminded to stop and enjoy some simple things that I sometimes take for granted or never stop to admire. Tuesday morning I awoke at a wonderfully beautiful sunrise and again a great sunset. I thank the Lord these beautiful gifts I can enjoy each day.

Another Busy Week...
This past week came and went in a flurry of work and busyness. Monday and Tuesday were spent at the annual PACRAO conference in Newport Beach. I realized just how blessed I am that I don't have a long freeway commute everyday and how wonderful the carpool lane really is. The two days were filled with seminar and workshops.
This week was when I also had to get the cookies made and decorated for the Christmas Boutique. Each evening I worked on a little bit of the process. Monica and the kids arrived on Wednesday evening. Abby was great helping me decorate them. Thursday after work we finished packaging them all and delivered them. Phew! I felt the stress level lift! That evening David and Kristin came over for dinner right after arriving at LAX. We all had a great time eating and catching up.

We had roasted veggies, salad and arepas. Friday I had lunch with Monica and the kiddos at Margie's favorite restaurant, Chick-fil-A. That evening after work I helped out at the Christmas Boutique from 6-8. I was very happy that my purse organizers were a big hit. Friday, October 30, 2009
Old TV Shows...
What do Happy Days, Saved By the Bell, Hawaii 5-0 and Mickey Mouse Club all have in common? They were the themes for our office dress-up day! Everyone was part of a themed team and decorated their cubicles and put together costumes for a fun day. I was even complimented on my costume by some of the regulars at Starbucks when I ran in for a coffee this morning =) Our office was very creative and had costumes ranging from Alice in Wonderland to Detective Steve McGarrett. Lunch was a smorgasbord of 50's, 80's & Hawaiian delicacies followed by some fun desserts and last but not least our Registrar employee appreciation awards. We all had a great time together!

I Love Traditions!
One of my yearly Fall traditions is picking pomegranates with Charlotte. Saturday afternoon we donned our grubby clothes, work gloves and picked a bunch of these beautiful and delicious fruit. Some of them were quite big this year! After all the picking was done we took them up to the porch and squeezed and squeezed. Grace joined in the squeezing fun too. It's a very messy process but totally worth it! I kept popping those little "jewels of goodness" into my mouth... Mmm so good!!! Charlotte's son Bill even made a pomegranate smoothie for us to enjoy at the end of the afternoon. Can't wait to make the jelly now!

Thank you John!
This week marked our final consulting sessions with John who has been our Banner consultant since the beginning of the whole software conversion process. Has it really been almost two years? We were fortunate to him for this whole journey and will miss him a lot.
