Catching Up

I (Scott) am sick today, and I thought this would be a good day to catch up on life. Both Heather and I have been going going going so much these past months that we feel we've gotten behind in many areas of our life. This past week I have lost a lot of sleep (which is why I am sick now), and we have gotten behind on the dishes, keeping our house clean, work, blogging, etc. So here is our attempt at catching up on our blog. For Memorial Day weekend we had the chance to house-sit for our friends Jeremy and Claudette Stevenson. They recently moved from McMinnville to Wilsonville. There new apartment is nice... resort nice! At the apartment complex there is a pool, hot tub, fitness center, and lots of palm trees (Heather's favorite part)! Since we were house-sitting for them we just had to take advantage of these amenities. We were able to meet some really nice people in the process too, Clovis and Devon. They even invited us over one evening and Heather got some pampering, while Scott hung out with Clovis and their son Bear. On June 3rd, we had a wonderful opportunity to spend time with Gavin and Andrea Tilgner-Tovar, our niece and nephew who live in Arizona (Heather's sister Beth's kids). They were staying with Nana and Papa Gene (Cinda and Gene) and the 5 of us (Mom, Us, and Kids) went to the Rose Festival together. We enjoyed snow cones, Elephant Ears, and watching great shows at the waterfront village. These included a Taekwondo demonstration team and "Captain Bogg and the Singing Pirates". It was great fun to see Gavin and Andrea again as we have missed them a lot. After our time at the Rose Festival we headed back to the Stevenson's, but on our way we decided to give Brad Kehr a call. Low and behold he had the evening free so we picked him up and watch King Kong on the Stevenson's big screen. Heather was even brave enough to watch the movie with us. This was really cool because earlier that day Scott was telling Heather that he would really like to see an Action Movie on the Stevenson's big screen TV. Scott finally took his Advance Math Test last weekend, June 9th. It has been something he has been dreading, but when he took it he said he actually felt pretty confident about it. Now all we have to do is wait for 4 weeks before the results come in. That evening, after the test, we got to enjoy a night to dress up and go on a date to a Regency Ball! "A what?" you may ask. A Regency Ball. One of Heather's good friends in McMinnville, Laura Plett, has a passion for the Regency Era (Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma) and English Country Dancing. She teaches ECD classes once a week, and a few of times a year she puts on a ball as a social gathering. At the ball everyone dresses in Regency Period Attire (or modern formal wear) and we learn different English Country Dances throughout the evening. While some of you guys out there might be laughing at the idea, it is actually very fun. How often do you get to be Prince Charming for the evening? Since then, we are just moving closer and closer to our final dates (or lights at the end of long tunnels). Scott is within just a couple of school days until the end (June 20th). Heather is exactly 1 month away of being done as of Tomorrow, Wednesday June 13th. Scott is still on the job hunt and has had 4 interviews with 4 turn downs. We are just praying and waiting for the right job to come up. That's about it for the Overbys in McMinnville. We hope you are doing well wherever you are. Again, we'd love to hear from you.
