All or Nothing Blogger

It seems that I can't post on a regular basis...I go for months without posting anything and then I go crazy. I wish I could be a consistent blogger who adds a few pictures and comments weekly. But I'm never really balanced or consistent in hardly any area of life, so why would my blogspot be any different? This has been by far the busiest season of our lives. Paul's loving his involvement in our church's School of Ministry, but it leaves on 2 nights home together. So that's rough, but hypothetically I'm working on my thesis anyway. I just can't wait for school to be over! They say it will be someday...at this moment I'm not convinced. If anyone can think of a topic for me, let me know! :o)

Closed Eyes Phenomenon

I love my husband's beautiful blue eyes, but he so rarely displays them in pictures. I'm always trying to get him to show his teeth and eyes at the same time, but it's a rare occurence. Wouldn't this have been a great picture?
When we were in Big Bear in December, I was trying so hard to get him to open his eyes in our pictures, so I told him to make his eyes as wide as possible. This was the result:

Oh well! I do what I can! :o)

Grandma's Here!

Paul & I had such a great time with Grandma in Dana Point, visiting the harbor & enjoying dinner at the Beach House! Good times...
SJC Mission

We were at the beach for hours roasting hot dogs & marshmellows, singing & enjoying the bonfire.

Shell & Grandma
Grandma was determined to get a tan, despite the cold, gray weather.

Mastering "Meet Me Here"

You can hear the album on Paul's myspace - http://myspace.com/pauljacksonmusic
Paul had a blast with the guys up in Hollywood mastering his album!

Blast from the Past

Curly again? Just for a day...I had a hard time coming out of the 80's big hair, but I'm not ready to relive it just yet.
Opposite hair day! Ellen and I switched...I tried to do mine curly and she straightened her's.

Fun Family Times

Happy 92nd birthday, Grandpa Jack! He blew out all of those candles in one blow.
We were blessed by a surprise visit from Mom and Tom!

Trip to Orlando

Judy and me! How I miss her.
Some of the Orlando team! Judy's celebration dinner - she made it one year in Orlando!!! I guess Orlando sunsets are pretty too, but I'll take San Clemente any day.

Visit with the Dormans

We got to see Ted, Lil, Heidi and Stephen during their California vacation!
Beautiful "Aunt Lil from the East" needed some California sunshine.
Stephen, Heidi, Me & Paul (I can't believe how grown up they are!)

Famous Michelle

How many of you have your name in movie credits? Not many, I imagine. Check it out...Shell's famous! And the movie (The Barnyard) is actually pretty cute...I recommend it!

Trip to Singapore!

In January, I got to go back to Singapore with my Orlando co-worker, Carrie Beeler.
We had an amazing time! I love Singapore...

We visited a beautiful orchid garden!
