Oustrich Family Vacation 2009

WELL, OUR FAMILY VACATION FINALLY GOT HERE. WE'D BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A YEAR TO ALL BE ABLE TO GET TOGETHER AND GO TO THE BEACH. EVERYONE ARRIVE AT THE HAWAIIN PALACE, AN 8 BEDROOM PLACE COMPLETE WITH AN INGROUND POOL. WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME AND EVEN TRIED TO GET SOME FAMILY PICTURES IN. THE KIDS DIDN'T COOPERATE VERY GOOD BUT WE DID GET EACH INDIVIDUAL PICTURES TAKEN. WE'RE THANKFUL WE WERE ABLE TO GET TOGETHER AND BE TOGETHER. WE HAD A GREAT TIME.

My Birthday Suprise!

Ok, I must be really naive. Toni told me I was going to her house to show some ladies about Scentsy. I brought all my stuff in the house and she told me she ordered some pizza. So I took her down to the place and as we walked in everyone yelled suprise!!! It really was a suprise. I had no idea, and none of the kids spilled the beans. Which is really hard for these guys to do. I'm so thankful for the great family I have!

MY NEW JOB!!!!!

This is where I work. I didn't realize it was so big until I started working here. I see my brother Jody just about everyday here. He usually comes in and raids my candy jar everyday. I think as of right now, there are over 5,000 people employee here. I take a van and carpool everyday. It saves the wear and tear on my car. Plus the goverment pays me $120/month to get to work. So it's a no brainer!

Christmas at the Cawley's!

This is my favorite house in Taylor. These are my friends the Cawleys. They decorate their house so beautiful every year. They have the Nativity scene, Santa's workshop, Elves, reindeer and Christmas music playing on speakers that you can hear a block away. They live just down the street from where we live and we often walk up to their house on Christmas Eve to see the decorations.

Christmas at my house

Well, this is my house decorated inside and out. It snowed about 8 inches today and it made everything look so clean and white. I love this time of year. Merry Christmas to everyone! Hope Santa brings you everything you ask for!

My Utah Trip

I thought I'd take one last trip to Utah before I started my new job at Tobyhanna Army depot. My mom, dad and I flew to Salt Lake City to visit family and friends. As you can see we went to a Jazz game, went to see the Temple grounds, with my friend Cherie, that were all decorated for the holidays, and spent time with family. I went to Park City, with my friends Heidi, Erin, her husband Mike and their litle girl Reagan. The weather was beautiful there. We left 20 degree weather and wound up in 50's and 60's. I wasn't complaining. It's always nice to visit Utah. I miss it

terribly. I always say if my family lived there I still would be there. I was also there when the University of Utah (ranked #6 in the nation) played their rivals BYU. It was a close game for about the first half and then Utah blew it wide open. I'm sure they will get a really good bowl game to play in, probably the Fiesta Bowl. It's always good to see my friends and old roomates out here. I only get to see Cherie, Erin and Heidi sometimes once a year. It was fun visiting with Ryan, Natalie and Kinley. Kinley started walking when we were there and was doing pretty good when we

left. She was really pleasant when we were there. People that read this will have to laugh at this part: ok everytime I come out to Utah which is usually once a year I bring home some crazy new idea to get into. The first time it was a cricket to scrapbook with, the next year it was by far my most expensive purchase with a vinyl cutter and this year I am now a SCENTSY consultant. This is like the latest and greatest thing in candles. Who doesn't like candles right???? So I am going to attempt to sell this product in Pennsylvania. It is so HOT in Uath and the west right now that I

don't doubt it will do great here. But all in all it was really fun.
