Ever since the family came in last Thanksgiving, we (Mom and I) have been talking about going up to Idaho Falls to visit them. Mom finally got her schedule from school and there's a good two weeks+ in August between the summer and fall semesters. The plan is to fly into Idaho Falls, spend a few days there, then all of us (Mom, me, cousins, uncle, aunt) will travel west and meander our way up and down the Oregon coast for a week. There's talk of renting a house, too, and then we'll return to their place for a few days before flying back.

I've always wanted to see the Northwest so I'm just a little bit excited. Plus, getting to see my family twice in less than a year is tremendous.

Really, I'm at a 10 right now.

In other, slightly less exciting news, I bought two new CDs last night when I went with Mom to Starbucks.

Artist's Choice: Norah Jones

Artist's Choice: Joni Mitchell

Sigh. I'm in love, especially with Joni's. That much jazz compiled on one disk = a very happy rubykate.
