But, I shouldn't complain; I just had a really great week in California soaking up the sun. I will post about that soon.

Up, Up, and Away!!
Yesterday was a great day! Can you guess what I got to do? Here I'll give you a hint...
Getting all buckled up, and getting the low-down on the head phones.....
And we're off.....
AND... Guess who else got up the nerve to take a spin around the sky! That's right mom did! And, she loved it.
Mom and I were lucky enough to have this little adventure because Dad works with Richard Plant who owns this awesome aircraft. Dad has been up a few times already and really loves it. I'm glad Mom and I finally got on board (I just realized that is an awesome pun) so we could see what all the hub-bub was about.
I didn't really know what to expect. I had a rush of nerves at first just thinking about what I had agreed to, and then I just relaxed and decided I was going to enjoy myself. I loved it! Everything about it was awesome! It was the smoothest most relaxing ride ever. I don't remember my heart even taking one extra beat, that's how relaxed and safe I felt. And, if Mom can do it and say she loved it, then, seriously, anyone can do it. :)
To round off an already awesome day (I mean seriously, isn't flying enough awesomeness for more than one day?) we went up huckleberry picking. That is always fun and always worth the effort.
While driving up through the mountains we just happened to pass some kind of hound dog tracking contest going on. I felt like I had walked straight into Where the Red Fern Grows. It was so neat. As we drove a little further up the road mom jerked her head around and said: "There was a bear! Those dogs treed a bear!!" Dad threw the truck in reverse and drove back to see. Sure enough three hounds were going crazy at the base of a big tree with a black bear in it. Unfortunately, the bear was already dead and we soon realized that was the whole point of the contest. But, it sure was neat to see anyway.
Isn't it interesting how long you can go without experiencing anything really new or out of the ordinary? Then, just in the course of one totally unplanned day, you can find yourself flying through the sky held up by a parachute, and later look out a window and witness the world of hound dog bear tracking? Some people will never get to say they have done or seen those things.......... :)

Introducing....
Sherlock...
This dazzling hunk of metal will soon be mine. :) And yes, yes I have already named this shiny upgrade. I think Sherlock is fitting because this car is going to solve some of my problems. Hmmm.....Name subject to change depending on aforementioned problem solving abilities of car.....:)

I Have a Family Here on Earth.....
When I think July I think....... Family and Fireworkes. This July has not dissapointed. The Olson reunion was held over the fourth, and it was a blast (pun totally intended)!! Mom was in charge and she did AWESOME! She put so much work and effort into making it fun for everyone. We went camping at Hiese camp grounds so that people could hike, fish, golf, swim, and roast a s'more around a fire. I sure do love my family, and truly appreciate all the hard work Mom put in to make the reunion so fun for everyone!
Check out these two cute stud muffins......
Love them BUNCHES!
I will post more pics later when I have more time.

Ruffles....
SO... I'm redoing my little space of life in the basement. I decided if I'm going to be there for a little while longer I might as well fix it up so I enjoy it. Here is what I made this weekend to make my room more homey...... 
I think it turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself. :) And, now, if you will please draw your attention to the fabulous quilt that the pillow is on. That little beauty is the quilt I bought at Gardner Village last weekend. I could not leave the store without it. Initially I was going to do my room in brown and red, but once I saw this quilt my plans changed. I am super excited to keep working on little things in my room. How fun! :) I'll keep you updated.

Okay, I know this is old news and all, but I just thought I would post a quick picture of my diplomas as proof that I really did graduate. :)
Happy April to all!!
