Well I have to say it has been a pretty good month & a 1/2 since we have been back. How about I start with a look back on our trip home. Our flight had to be one of the worst flights we have ever had and ever want to have. Out of our two flights since moving to WA they have been pretty accommodating. Tryson has always had a seat weather it was paid for or not. I have always had help, whether it be from Chris, a flight a attendant, or a really nice Samaritan. This flight was a polar opposite from those accommodating flights. First, all three of us were sick and sleep deprived. The whole time we were flying there was no room and we had TWO seats. Not to mention Tryson was a BEAR to get to sleep while flying. Had no problem falling asleep the moment we landed and sleep for almost the whole layover. AHHHHH!!!! Making an even longer story short we had no luggage and got home super late. Chris had to work the same day... as a matter a fact it was in about 3 hours. Poor Chris. Tryson and I spent most of the day sleeping due to sickness and lack of good sleep. Chris got back into the swing of things pretty quickly. As for Tryson and me it took about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks to feel 95% better. Not to mention this whole time Tryson was sick he was getting a tooth was coming in. Skipping to the present Chris is taking a class every Tuesday night. He seems to be enjoying it and a times we have talked about his class and I have to say I am kind of interested as well. We are trying to plan our trips for coming home this year. Tryson and I will be coming in June for 2 weeks. The dates are pretty set in stone (May 29th - June 13th) I am just waiting to book my ticket in hopes the price will go down a little bit. In July we all will be coming back for Vance and Chrystal’s wedding. Chris is in their wedding so it is kind of a must. We will be coming in around the July 23rd to the 30th. Dates are not set in stone seeing Chris has to put in for vacation and depending on how much time he can take. Then in December!!!!! We will hopefully and most likely be coming home for 2 weeks!!!! Chris is thinking the 17th though the 3rd of January. Given that he can get the time off and how much vacation he has.
In other news... not so good news. Chris got food poisoning a couple of days ago. He got it from eating a salad at work. He said after a couple of hours he didn't feel so good. I picked him up from work at 4:30 p.m. and he said his stomach felt horrible. We had dinner plans with friends that night at 5 p.m. He said he would just go home and take some Pepto -Bismol. He did that and we went to dinner. Sparing the details, Chris wasn't himself at dinner and we ended up leaving pretty quickly. We got home and things got worse for him. :( He said this was by far the WORSE food poisoning he has ever had ( got in college a couple of times). He is better now and was just today able to eat normal.
I was introduced to this really great recreational center we don't live to far from. It has a really great big pool there. Tryson and I were invited by friends. They have an area just for babies / toddlers his size where you can let them play in the water by them self’s (supervised of course). The water is super warm (88 degrees). We have been there a couple of times now and are going to sign Tryson up for swimming classes. This place also has times where you can rent part of the pool and a room for parties. We are considering doing something like that for this 2nd birthday party. It actually is the same amount of money we spent on his first party and that was at Chuck E Chesses. So if anyone wants to come out around his birthday you are more than welcome to. Just let us know in advance so we can make arrangements. We would love to have you!!! :) The party will most likely be the Saturday before his birthday (11/01/08) or the Saturday after (11/08/08).
Now let me write about my most favorite subject some more. Tryson! He has become the biggest joy in my life as Chris' as well. Words can't describe him but I will do my best. He is walking so much more now and hardly ever crawls. Now we are in the beginning stages of RUNNING! Pray for us and I am being serious. He is also talking more as well. He knows and understand most or all for that matter what he is saying. He knows (as most of you know this) what “Hi" and "Bye" are. He knows what ball is and can even point it out in books. His new ones are "Go", "What", "Why", and his most famous "COOK-GIE". He says it with that much excitement too. Now don't go off thinking we give him cookies all the time. A cookie can be any number of this. It could be a saltine cracker, a graham cracker, a piece of freeze dried fruit, or a actual animal cookie. The funny thing is all of the sudden we will hear, "COOK-GIE, COOK-GIE, COOK-GIE" and he will go to "his" drawer where all of his cookies, other snacks, meal things are. If we give into this adorable thing he does a little dance till he gets the two cookies. It is so cute and funny. Tryson and I have much fun together. We usually have about 2 - 3 play dates a week and maybe get together with one or two friends on the side. We have met some really great people here. We continue to expand our group of friends every week or two and it is really great for me because more friends equals more people to do hair for. :)
So all in all we are having a great time starting our life here in WA. We have met so really great people here. The church we attend has been really wonderful in welcoming us. I feel my connection with God, my husband and child have gotten so much stronger. There is nothing more I could ever ask for. Thank you to all of our family and friends back home that continue to love and supports us. We wouldn't be here or sain without.
Love, Stashia, (Chris and Tryson)

A year and a half ago: Read prior post first
I wanted to write this in a second post because it is somewhat of a tangent on what I was saying, and this is a blog, not a novel. Anyways, lets imagine me in the summer of 2006.
I've never seen it, but I know one quote from Vanilla Sky thanks to Jason, "Because without the bitter, baby, the sweet ain't as sweet." And a good quote is only good with a justification. A bitter to sweet or vice versa experience grounds you. It has the ability to make your life solid. You appreciate the sweet richly and take the bitter as what must be, to welcome life's challenge.
In this Summer of 06 I hit my bottom. I felt as if everyone was disgusted with me, I could not find a job, no money, a very unsure and scary future, the anxiety was killing me on the inside and it was just getting worse making me unable to cope with many things and shunning almost all responsibilty, it was among other things depression. Looking back, only two things I did that summer were good. One thing was that I started going to church again occasionally, it was a renewed sense of structure and something to really digest weekly. The other was my trip to a beautiful fountain on the University of Michigan campus:
I started my journey to the fountain as a "penny walk with two friend" you flip a coin to decide where you turn until you find yourself back at home...well the three of us, me, a housemate and our friend decided to end up in a fountain that no one knew meant so much to me. The fountain is inbetween the main campus and the Grad Student building. When I was an incoming freshmen, my group walked towards the main campus and were told that when we graduated we should walk through it towards the Grad Building in an obvious metaphor. This fountain was special to me.
Now, not everyone is religious or superstitious, but it really doesn't matter, it should still make some sense to anyone. When I go to a fountain, I treat pennies as prayers. I don't ask for money, or a job, or more love...I ask for things that make my soul feel warm. That night, unknown to my fellow travelers, I needed to be alone with my thoughts and every once-in-a-while I would throw in one of a few pennies. As always, I prayed for the well-being of those I was there with. I then prayed that Tryson have the most beautiful life, the same for Stashia, another for everyone who still believed in me, and at least two or three for the strength to do what I needed to do to end my depression to finish school and to help others. It was a great night and walking back I felt stronger having set somethings straight in my mind.
Writting this now brings tears to my eye, all of my prayers have been answered and many that I did not even have hope for came along with them to help. Since then my favorite prayer for my self or for anyone has been the strength and ability to understand find their own joy. As I said in the other post, joy is different than happiness. If I had prayed for money and gotten it, I would have been happy on the outside. Happiness unfortunately doesn't last. Joy is what comes from the enjoyment of doing work you love, helping those you love and similar things. Ever since I had started to attain this joy from the inside it has snowballed and nothing external can disrupt it. I pray you all find your joy, for when the bitter is at it's very worst, you may keep your sweet center always.

The Holiday Spirit: Read First
The holidays are always a good time for us to connect with our friends and family, to eat like we never eat and be thankful for such opportunities. In general, this was true although some of the specifics may not point in that direction.
So the holiday season started for me when I met up with Stashia, Stephen and Caitlin at the GR airport after having a horrible flight experience with 5 delays adding up to 2 hours. Unfortunately my luggage decided not to join us. By the way, American Airlines is horrible with their communication on lost luggage to make a long story short.
The next day was the 23rd, where I decided to surround myself with 7 cats. Which would be fine if cats didn't constitute 90% of all my allergy problems. So the 24th, yes Christmas Eve, I went to the Urgent Care Center. By this point with my lungs so very weak, on recovery meds and still without my luggage the Christashiatryson contingency went to my family's side of Christmas. It was at Memouse's house which although she has two of these 7 cats, I thought risking my life was worth experiencing Christmas the way it was when I was little. Being surrounded by all the family again and getting to watch Tryson go through it as well was an experience worth the physical suffering. At one point in the night it just got to me and I found sanity in the insanity. My luggage could be lost forever and flights are always going to be late...and of course cats will always bring me to my knees, but I have had the best year of my life and this moment seals it forever in my memory.
As presents were being passed and all the chatter I thought about all I've been given this year and every bit of it priceless, completely priceless. Just this year alone, I was able to watch Tryson go through so many firsts and bond with him so much so that I know I'm someone he really wants to see in the morning and the last before bed. I finally realized what I had denied before, that Stashia loves me more than I can understand and that I love her more than I can explain. I finally graduated and after years of having other people fight to get me there, this last year I did it all on my own not taking no for an answer and taking all the responsibility, I grew up a lot and it feels good. I experienced a wealth of people coming out over and over again for our birthdays, grad parties, shower and wedding. I knew we had a lot friends and support but I did not know so many people loved us so deeply, thank you so much! I got a job that I love and I feel great about going to work every day, that feels amazing and they appreciate me. (I want to write more about this in a separate blog) Needless to say, I was overcome with joy. Not happiness, joy. Magically on Christmas day, my luggage came in and several other great things with it. I was able to spend a bit of time with 5 of my sisters that I hardly ever see, great times with friends and the opportunity to get stuck in snow on I-96...ah Michigan I miss you.
We're back in Washington now and I'm still a little sick, Stashia and Tryson are as well. We are happy to be back and settled down, but I think we are all in agreement that we all enjoyed our trip. So in summary, thank you!

Grandpa
This is to my Grandpa. One of the most amazing man you would ever meet. If you have ever had a chance to meet him you are lucky. I sure know I was one of the lucky ones. I had a chance to know him my whole live and thank God for giving me the privilege. To those of you that don't know. My Grandpa is 93 years old. He has a heart of gold. When you talk to him he makes you feel you are the most important person in the world. He loves the Lord and follows Him in all that he does. When this man prays it is like a sweet poem or song. I can't decribe how great his words can make you feel when he is praying. It is like the Lord is speaking right to him. He has the greatest stories. I remember hearing all of these stories and when he would tell them again it was like he was telling them for the first time. My Grandpa is a very kind and generious man. He would give you words of wisdom to the shirt off his back. His laughter could make anyone else laugh.
I started writing this on the 28th of November right before my grandpa passed away in the early evening. I was not able to be there for his last moments on earth but I was there in sprit for him. A couple days before he passed I was able to say my last good bye and Tryson was able to say his last, "Hiiiiiiiii!!!" Even though he was not able to talk back had a deep sense of relief. I know he is where he wanted to be and he has no more pain and suffering. The visitations were on Sunday and the funeral was on Monday. Tryson and I had flown back the Friday before. It is amazing how great he lokked at 93 and how at peace I was. So this is to him and his amazing life.

Mom visit, Tryson's birthday and more
Life has been great for us here. My mom was here to visit at the beginning of the month for Tryson's birthday. We picked her up from the airport late at night. She was worried that Tryson wouldn't recognize her. Well it only took him a couple of minutes and he was all about Grandma.
The whole way home he just kept on staring at her, smiling, and laughing. It was so cute! The next day we threw a little party for Tryson at Chuck E Cheese's. We really wanted to do this many for meeting people and because my mom was here. So many people came. It was great! Tryson had a good time dancing and we had a chance to get to know more people. We were not expecting the presents either. These people we hardly know or didn't even know at all were so generous. The next day (Sunday) we all went to church. After we went to our usual Sunday diner. Then at night our church had the African children's choir. Those kids have too much energy. My mom kept saying, "If I could have their energy 4 weeks out of the year I could get so much done." I tried to keep my mom, Tryson and I occupied. Monday was Tryson's birthday. My mom, a friend of mine and her little boy, Tryson, and me went to a story reading for his birthday. It was fun and he had a chance to play with other kids. Tuesday Tryson had his 12 month doctors visit. He is developing very well and is right were he should be and he does not have to have surgery. On the down side of it he had to get 5 shots in the arm. I could of punched the nurse that gave the shots. She stuck him with the needle hard and far into his arm. Wednesday we went to my MOPS group. Thursday night was one of the best nights. We headed to Seattle to tour and eat dinner. My mom ended up surprising us with a trip in the space needle. It was great. The best part about it was that is was at night and the lights were amazing! Then on Friday night we went and had dinner with my cousins Brian, Allie and their cute boys. Saturday was the day my mom was suppose to go home. Well..... she actually ended up missing her flight. We were kind of scared at first but it all worked out good and she got to spend an extra day here. Then Sunday we went to my cousin's Brian and Allies. They were having a brunch because my other cousins Todd and Cindy were in town. It was really nice to see them again. I other news I have decided to go back to work... sort of. I was at a friends house last week and she gave me a great idea to still do what I love but not really work outside the home or put Tryson in daycare. I am on this site called cafemom and have meet some really great people from it. She said I should post something on the site telling people that I do hair and for fair family prices. So I did and I have gotten a really goo response from people. I posted it on the site last week Friday and have 4 appointments already and more to come. I am so excited! Thanksgiving is coming in a few days. As sad as we are for not being able to be there with our family and friends we have met some great people here that have welcomed us into their homes for Thanksgiving. It's funny. We didn't think we would be spending Thanksgiving with anyone but ourselves this year but it is the complete opposite. We have been invited to 4 places (including Chris's boss's family). Sad we can't go to all but very nice we have somewhere to go. I can't believe how many nice and welcoming people we have met. I never saw any of this when we moved but we have been so happy. Life has just truly blessed us in so many ways. I am so thankful for all the family and friends we have there and here.

Ranch Pizza Sick Carnegie Monkey
I wish you were all here, we are entertaining. Much more entertaining than any blog. For example, Stashia asked me 5 minutes ago, "Do you want Ranch dressing with your pizza?" I replied with, "Ranch, yeah Ranch!" Then a couple seconds ago, she asked me, "Do you want Ranch?" I said, that I had just told her yes ad her reply is that she thought I wasn't serious...ahhh, fun. And the Tryson, he's a reality show all on his own. He gets in a lot more trouble as Stashia noted today. She dressed him today and he ruined it by getting into the fireplace, so she stripped him, through him in the bath and when he got out, that was it for clothes for a couple hours. He now cries when either of us go to the bathroom without him, or leave the room for that matter. He is getting really good with the "hi" and "buh bye". He can say both very clearly and at correct times, although sometimes not at the appropriate times. Sometimes when I see him after work when Stash has picked me up he says "buh bye" and I say, "no no, you want daddy to go away?" and he smiles. Two days ago, I think I scared him when I opened the door after a long day of work and he said a very enthusiastic, "HIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!" Really cute. Let's see, what else about Tryson, he likes being tickled under his armpits and sides and laughs a ton and he likes to take off his socks and put them in his mouth. That's Tryson.
Me, I'm sick at the moment, or actually in the process of feeling better, work was so long today. I got home and Stashia was so nice, she took Tryson grocery shopping with her and let me take a 5 hour "nap" which really helped. I woke up and my throat wasn't scratchy, my head stopped hurting and the initial sick "ick" was gone for the moment, so hopefully by the morning after I take my second nap in just a few minutes, I will feel up to a 9 hour day tomorrow followed by cleaning and organizing until about 9 or so and then getting ready to pick up Stash's mom at the airport at 11pm getting settled back here around 2 or so and then getting up in the morning to set up for Tryson's birthday party...so yeah, I'm kinda not allowed to be sick past today. I also can't afford to take time off of work right now. Pray for me, please.
Other than being sick, as Stashia said, I am registered for a Dale Carnegie class, as wikipedia says, "Dale Breckenridge Carnegie (originally Carnegey) (November 24, 1888–November 1, 1955) was an American writer and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement, salesmanship, corporate training, public speaking and interpersonal skills." So, the nature of the class I will be taking in the winter will be encompassing a good portion of all of those. I am really busy at Boeing, pretty challenged at the moment. I am working on a project that no one in my group has had to deal with on their own or without training before, so I guess someone either has faith in me or hates me. I hope it is the former of the two. I am continuing to learn and be able to take on more and more work. I am about done with my mandatory training courses and can't wait to become more useful. I'm planning on everything coming together right before Christmas. So, hopefully by the time we come home, we will all feel very settled. What that means for me is a happy work, social and family life out here. We have a month and a half, ready...set...GET SETTLED!!!! (Somehow, that doesn't make sense...like speed fishing or something.....)

And now....for something completely different...a baby monkey clapping:

Long Time No Blog
Hey All! Sorry it has been a while since we last posted a blog. Chris was trying to put up another video but it wasn't working. So anyways. Not tons but I would say lot has happened since last time. Chris is getting more comfortable with his job. Taking class and such to better himself. He has enrolled himself in a leadership course that he wanted to take and he will be taking that at night. I'm not sure when it starts but I think it is after the first of the year. The best part is that it is a $1,700 class and Boeing pays for it. Enough about him lets talk about the T man. He is getting sooooo big and SMART! This kid amazes me every day. Yes I said kid. As hard as it is for me I have to accept that he will be 1 in 5 days :(. He will always be my baby in my heart and eyes. He is not walking yet but I got hi this great toy that he can hold onto and walk with. He loves it. He has learned some new things, as you can imagine. Chris taught him how to wave hi and bye. Chris teaches him a lot. It so funny the things this kid pick up on soooo easily. Chris enjoys it. Like a little mini Chris or puppet. Tryson has met some friends. He attends Sunday school every Sunday and gets along with the other very well. All good remarks from his teachers. He has met some kids outside of school. I am on this site called Cafe Mom and have met some great people on it and we have met up for lunch and play dates. I think he has his first girlfriend. I will tell you she is a sweetie a little young (10 months). They play and roll on the floor together. It is so cute. I have been and done several thing to get all of us out and meeting people. As I told you I am on this site called cafe mom and I have meet some great people on it. One family has invited us over for Thanksgiving. They moved here from Ohio last year. I have also been involved in a group called MOPS. They meet twice a month. Tryson can play with the little one and I can be with all the other moms. We have breakfast, have speakers, crafts, etc. I met one of the kindest and most wonderful person through MOPS. I called inquiring about MOPS and she invited me to coffee about 3 weeks ago. She is like my mother away from home. Such a great friend also. She also told me about the church we have been going to (Gold Creek Community Church). She adores Tryson but who doesn't. The first time he met her, while we were at coffee, he felt so comfortable he feel asleep on her. It was the sweetest thing. In other news. Tryson is having a second birthday party( I know he is spoiled). This one is more for meeting people and for my mom. My mom is coming in on Friday. We can't wait. There is so much to tell but I'm tired and my neck is starting to hurt. I'll have Chris post a blog soon.
