Catilina Island August 2006

For those of you who do not know, Jon and I are community coordiators at Fuller this year (we needed to add something to our plate....haha.). We get to organize community events for our neighbors and help people get to know each other....we actually really enjoy this considering it is a part of our life with or without a title....this year we just get rent credit for it! Nice! Anyway, each year, the Residentail Community Staff take us on a retreat to Catilina Island. It is a little camp we meet at right on the ocean (duh, island) and we have a little bit of training and a lot of free time with our families. The followingpics were taken there. We had a really nice and refreshing time!


It was a great trip as a family! (Paul, Jon thanks you for his clothing). Posted by Picasa

Trip to Wisconsin Summer 2006

While Jon headed off to Venezuela, I headed home for rest, relaxation and plain old help. It was a great trip. I got to see all my grandparents and then hang out with my parents for several days while my boys were entertained and on top of that, I got to sleep in! Between getting my eyebrows waxed and my hair cut, a lot was happening int he O'Connor house!! Below are some pictures of our fun trip. (Thank goodness I don't have any of the plane ride over...that was a trip of its own...) Enjoy!
