Highlights From The Komp Reunion!

I know I already posted about the Komp family reunion but I forgot a few yummy/cute things... We had to stay in two different rooms at the resort because there were  nine of us and each rooms sleeps six at the most. So, we would eat breakfast and lunch on our own time and have a family dinner each night. This night we had an asian salad and boy was it DELICIOUS!

This was my plate. HUGE,  right?! Well, you'll be surprised to know how much I ate. I shocked myself but I was starving and this was amazingly delicious.

LOOK at the work I did! I didn't even feel grossly full either. YUMMY! I think I'm drooling just typing about it.

Also, Bri and I weren't able to stay the entire seven days because she had a hair apt and I had to get back to work. While we were there Bri bought SIXTY dollars worth of salt water taffy to bring back to her friends and family in Vegas. We had so much we wanted to leave a cute little message for her parents for whenever they left the room. :)

She's sorting through all sixty dollars.

We left them a little heart!

They loved it! A cute way of showing our love. :)

ABC Craft!

So, you probably know I have triplet nieces... I talk about them a lot! Well, when my sister was still prego she bought each of them the first letter of their name. Aubrey, Brooke, and Cailyn. So, it was an A, B, and C. I wanted to spruce them up a bit because they were boring, sad, and just white! If you know my sister you know that she is extremely "matchy" with colors and each of the girls has their "own color". Aubrey is purple, Brooke is blue-turquoise, and Cailyn is pink. My friend Lizzie did this same craft with the letter of her and her hubby's last name so I copied her. :) THANKS LIZZIE!

First, I went to Michael's and picked out the color of paper I needed.

I also needed glue that I mixed with water and paper towels because it's easy to get messy.

First, I ripper up little pieces of paper and put them on the water-glue mixture and then pasted them on!

It was super fun, cheap, and totally cute. They're now hanging above each of their cribs. :)

AAOT!!!

Happy Friday everyone! :) Today I decided to go up to MHCC and take my placement tests if I was planning on going there for fall term and so I walked in and they told me since I had my transcripts sent there with the classes I've already taken I don't need to take the tests! Yay! Then, I went to go meet with an academic adviser and he we were going through my transcripts and he said I only needed three classes that were my pre and co requisites for the surgical technology program! Another yay! Then I was asking him since I'll have more time on my hands how far am I from earning my AAOT and he said like two or three classes. Wahoo! But he said I should consider just going back to CCC to finish it up because that might make things a bit easier. So, after he said that I decided I needed to go there to talk to an academic adviser there. I made my way from Gresham to Oregon City and talked to a lady there and we figured out that I needed four or five classes and I would get my AAOT. This is so exciting... All this time I thought I wasn't really working towards anything and not I can almost touch it with my fingertips. So, I have about two terms at MHCC and then I'll get my AAOT and take it anywhere I want. I'm almost grad-u-ma-cated! ;)

Fam Damily Reunion (Komp's)

I have many families away from my own blood family. The Komp family being on of them! Gregg, Bri's dad, baptized me. :) They invited me to go with them on their family reunion when Bri came home. I couldn't decline! And it was at Seaside and the beach/Oregon Coast NEVER gets old. It's so serene and calming to my soul. We had so much fun. Nothing like being with family for 5 days straight! Here are a few pics from our adventure!...

One of the kites we flew on the beach.

Gregg and Ayla watching/flying the kite.

Bri and Arie hanging out at the beach.

The resort we stayed at... It's the one right on the beach walk on Broadway.

Jordan throwing Arie in the pool. She had NO fear of the water.

Arie just floatin' in the hot tub. She loved it until she got kicked out. :(

Me, Jul, Bri, and Jordan with the "earrings" made out of pipe cleaners. Lol.

That's SIXTY dollars worth of salt water taffy. Yikes!

One of the sunsets... This NEVER gets old!

Bocce ball!

Some of the Komp fam!

We went to a photo booth and it was SO fun taking turns running in and out between each pic. :)
