It is hard for me to believe that this year is almost gone. It seems like it just got started. Here it is almost Thanksgiving and before you know it Christmas. I think it really started to set in the other day when I noticed a guy actually putting up Christmas lights on his house. I found myself thinking how foolish it was for him to be doing this already. Then I realized that in a week or so I need to start getting ours put up!
This coming weekend I need to start pulling the boxes of lights out of storage and start checking them to make sure they are working. That is always a big undertaking that I am glad when it is done. I have started thinking about how to set the lights up this year. I like to change them a little from year to year. It gives the residents something to talk about and feel good about!
Laurie and I just celebrated our anniversary. It is hard to believe that we have been together for 12 years now.
This last week I had to make a trip to Eugene for a board meeting. I think I shocked a few people when I officially resigned from doing the websites for the boards. I have too many other things I am responsible for and I needed to get rid of something. It was a volunteer type of thing. I could not be paid for the work I did on the websites because I was a board member. But now the boards have enough funds that they are able to afford to pay for someone to run the websites. So I stepped away from that set of responsibilities.
I am still a board member I just will not have to worry about the boards websites anymore. I was asked to become part of the AHMA (Affordable Housing Management Association) Board of Directors effective on January 1, 2010. I will be part of the Rural Development Education Steering Commitee. In other words I will help make sure that the training we offer our members is actually relevant. And help decide the types of training needed for this industry.
I will close this entry for now. As like always the time just seems to slip by. And I have a couple of other things I need to get done before I go to work this morning. So I better get to them.

Congratulations on the new assignment! I'm not surprised that you were asked, given your talent. I'm also glad that you resigned from the additional duties that you were not being compensated for.
I won't be putting up our tree until the week after Thanksgiving, but even that isn't too much longer. This year has flown by.
Love you all.
