Okay - I know I've been out of touch for some time now, and I'm terribly sorry, and you can believe I've heard it from some not very nice people. I know they wish to remain nameless, but they NEVER leave comments, so how did I know they missed me?! But it is nice to be missed.
So, life has been crazy. I've been having this incredible urge to just do nothing, but have had a ton of stuff to do, so it is like you barely have time to fit the important stuff in, but the stuff you love kind of gets placed by the wayside, until you get your head adjusted and realize you do better with the crazy stuff, because you love it, and sometimes that is sanity alone? Was that just weird or what?
Anyway, we have had some fun lately. We had a cruise night at the Drive-In, and took our '67 Mustang for the show. It was a lot of fun. They watched Peggy Sue Got Married. It has been forever since I've seen that.
We also had an awesome family night. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. We went to the park in Spanish and had Wendy's great pulled pork sammies, and lots of desert. Including some of that fabulous
dark chocolate cake from Costco. (Isn't that the most decadent cake ever?)
Then because Matt HATES the fair, Christian and I went to the state fair all by ourselves. And, I am not kidding when I say it was fabulous. We ate our way through the fair, and sat and relaxed whenever we wanted to, and we saw horses, and cows and sheep and pigs, and we were pigs. (cause we ate everything) Christian got to pet a sheep,
and we saw the horse show, and all around it was a really great day. We got there at noon and we didn't leave until 8:30. Great, great, great.
Matt and I went to a theater owner convention in SLC for two days, and even though that was fun, and we met some really great people, we just didn't have enough time to just hang out. The gateway mall was right there, and I really wanted to walk around, and do some shopping, but just didn't have any time :<. But the weekend came, and I went to St. George with my big sis - Whose birthday it is tomorrow. She is as old as dirt, and I am not telling, because that makes me old too - oh, well - she's 29. We went down for a company party for her, and they took us to the Tuacahn theater and we saw Le Mis., and fed us a good buffet dinner. Yes, it was fabulous down there. And, we did way more than enough shopping to make up for what I missed in SLC. It was really fun. This week I have had to catch up on some of the business stuff, and I bottled 50 pints of pickled beets yesterday. I know I am a domestic goddess (this week). Anyway, that is what has kept me busy lately. I guess I should tell you what I am thankful for. Things I am thankful for - 1 - Christian. She gets cuter everyday. I love to see her grasp new things, and that cute gamine face. I could just kiss, kiss, kiss her. (She had mac & cheese, and ate by herself)
2-My sister - We had so much fun just gabbing, and laughing, and listening and singing to the Mamma Mia CD way too many times.
3 - Fall - I love to smell the cool air, and smell a hint of smoke, and I usually like to can and bottle a few things.
4- Health - I saw the chiropractor today, I love that man. I felt so much better. I finally got rid of my 3 days of headaches.
5 - Life - I have been reflecting on how lucky I am to live in such a great country, have a beautiful home, have a fabulous family (in-laws, and out-laws too), and get to live close to them, have freedom of religion and all of the many other wonderful things this brings. How fortunate we are. Love you all. I will try to do better.
