A Day Late, Our Sunday, excerpt from e-mail to my Michael

I really don't have too much to tell you about today but I will start and see where that takes me k? I met a cool couple in church today. They are young, have two little kids. He sought me out after Sacrament Meeting, they heard we had just come from Germany and that is where they are going in April. He is a Navy Seal and going to school at the DLI. We talked for a bit about Germany and then I went into the Mother's Lounge to nurse Soy Boy and his wife was in there. We talked some more. They are anxious to get as much info. as they can. It was nice to talk about Germany again, I miss it.

But... it was another beautiful day here. We came home from church and ate leftover pasta and I unpacked more kitchen boxes. Do you know what is difficult? Trying to organize a kitchen and keep it clean after every meal. Basically that is true about the whole house. I unloaded a few pieces of crystal and put it on the shelf. I decided that if we don't use it while we are here I am just giving it to Goodwill. We have carted it around for 15 years almost. There are some pieces we've used before but others that I don't think we ever have.

We went to the Ellison's for dinner and had a really nice time. They live on the other side of the valley, at the very top. It is a gorgeous view. As I told you their kids are 12, 9, and twin 7 year olds. They had lots of toys for Sawyer and Ellyn and everything was kid friendly and it was so nice to just relax and not be hovering over Ellyn and Sawyer the whole time. I think they might be family board game material. The kids all get along really well. They played outside for quite a while and then they watched Planet Earth together, the girls were pretty excited that someone else knew about Planet Earth. Sadie and Maggie were very cute together. So good for my Sadie to have a friend. They are a family of strawberry blonds by the way.

Do you know what is funny? Two of the girls that Jane has become closest to so far are both strawberry blonds. What are the odds?

Dinner was delicious and we had brownies for dessert. They were soooo good and they were just from a box, but I have obviously suffered from brownie depravation. I could have taken out the entire pan by myself and I am not exaggerating. The mix is at Costco and I will be getting it very, very soon.

Well I think that covers it. You know that 5:30 is whaay too early for me and so I must leave you now. I have to get my beauty sleep. I have to look gorgeous for unpacking boxes and calling registrars tomorrow. I love you Mike.

MICHAEL IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!!

My Michael is coming home . You can't just say it. You have to SING it. Tomorrow my tall, strong, gorgeous, husband will be here and it will be beautiful. He will nestle into the life of our family and we will have him with us, here, in our house, in our family . He'll help put on jammies and read stories, and tutor Jane in math. He'll take me on dates and wrestle at least one child during sacrament meeting. He'll snuggle me in bed at night and nuzzle my neck while I'm doing dishes. We'll go for walks and play games and watch movies and do fun family Saturday stuff. He'll help carry a kid down to the car and then he'll drive while I put on my makeup ! We love him, we know how much he loves us. We can't wait! Don't worry, I won't work him to death. I won't make him cook dinner every night for the next 10 months or hand over the kids and take off to the spa for the weekend (tempting, but... no). We just want him HERE. I kee...

Fun weeks!!!

These past two weeks- three weeks have been quite fun. Up till now school has been really hard. With friends and work. This Jenna that I beleive has already been mentioned is really mean to me. We were best friends one day and the next she had made friends with a drama causer/ bad influence and completely dumped me. It's stupid and I really do try to ignore it but it is more than I can handle. Now I'm lonely in school(because we together had a small group of friends) . I have one other friend so that is good. I hope everything straightens out because she is still being rude to me. Tomorrow is flute auditions. I hope that goes well and I also hope I get my braces off tomorrow. Lots of HOPE. Right now I am watching American Idol with my wonderful family who is the best friend I'll always have. I love taking care of my little siblings. They are always so fun and make me so happy. My mom tries so hard to be a an amazing mother and I appreciate her so much. She is my best friend...

Almost a week already?

I swear I just wrote and yet it is two hours away from Wednesday again. You know sometimes I like to pretend that no one reads my blog and I just ignore the fact that I have anyone reading and then sometimes I just want to write directly to my family and friends that read the blog. I'm fickle like that I guess. This past weekend just seemed really great to me. Friday I felt really ill, just a bad cold but I chose to just stay down for the day and try to recover (cold mostly gone in 3 days by the way)so Friday night we did a pizza night. Aunt Jackie, I'm having the same problem with Fit for Life. I keep expanding my free days and also I am eating way out of control on the free day. A binge if you will. I need to rein in again. Superbowl Sunday and Valentine's Day did not help at all! Which brings me back to pizza night. I saw an ad for $10 pizzas from Pizza Hut. Domino's pizza- fine. Papa John's- I can pass, but when I saw that Pizza Hut special I had to ...
