Happy Birthday, Anna!

On Friday night we went out to Red Feather to celebrate our friend Anna hitting the quarter century mark...which made Chris & I feel old. It was a great time though.
Here is Anna taking her birthday tequila shot like a pro:

More Engagement pictures

We came across some pictures that weren't on our original disc...its like getting them taken all over again! A few of my favorites: Also, is it just me, or did you all want to put your engagement pics ALL OVER the house? Every picture gets a frame! I haven't done this (I think I only have two up) but I totally want to!

Mobile Pantry

More work stories for you. I am already so gratified to be working here at the Foodbank. Yesterday I went to Filer, Idaho (its just outside of Twin Falls) with our "mobile pantry" that brings food to families in towns with no other resources for food. We served over 100 families there and one head of household commented that he really did not know how he would have fed his family this month had we not showed up. Wow. Just, wow.

As with every group of elderly volunteers I have ever worked with in my career, I had a nemesis within five minutes of showing up, but even that did not ruin the good feeling I had from helping to put food in so many bellies.

Scouting for Food

What an adventure my first food drive was! The support from the community was absolutely amazing. My post was at the WalMart on Eagle Road and boy scouts from the Meridian area collected food that had been left out and brought it to us for sorting (canned/dry goods) and loading on to the truck. We filled TWENTY pallets of food! It was amazing. The need for food is up 38% over last year and it is so nice to see the community stepping up and supporting the Foodbank. I feel very thankful to work here now and be making such a contribution to the community!

Happy Halloween!

Chris & I recycled our hippie costumes and joined my family for a fun night, easy going night. Here I am with my sisters the Geisha and Batman:

And for any South Park fans out there...my brother in law, Jesse, went as a hippie exterminator:
