A good chuckle....

Two things that gave me a good chuckle this morning:

This little ditty is on the back of Rob's body wash...

"If your grandfather hadn't worn it, you wouldn't exist."
(True dat)

And this one came from a note that was taped to Gabe's door a few weeks ago:

"Gabe and IsAAc olny
Cael STInKS
ThhhhPt"

Need I remind you that he reads Calvin and Hobbs?





I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

The 3 "F's"

Long gone is the careless freedom of summer. It's replaced with shorter days, chilly breezes and the season of holiday traditions and football.

I love Fall. At least, I have in the past. But as the days shorten and the holidays near I am more aware of feelings of loneliness and being "trapped in by the darkness" than I have been in a long time.

It all comes down to the three "F's":
1. Family
2. Familiarity
3. Friends

I just want to be "home." It's funny because I never thought I would consider Spokane "home" right alongside Utah. It's not that I don't like the Tri-Cities. We have made some friends and met some really AWESOME people here but....I just not the same.....(yet).

At Women's Conference I looked around and saw very few familiar faces knowing that my Mom and sisters were back home sitting together and enjoying one another's company. I sat alone in the back. I can't remember the last time I felt so lonely. What a bummer. (I was very grateful to see and chat with a few girls in my ward afterwards....it lightened my mood considerably.)

Given time I'm sure I will "get into the groove" and feel better about my lonely circumstances.

But for now....

I just want to be "where everybody knows [my] name." That's not too much to ask, is it?

What do you say when you have nothing to say.......................


Nothing!

The End

Ugh....

Rob's out of town and I'm overworked.

The end.

All day school.....YEAY!

Gabe started his first day of first grade today (at least the first FULL day). How exciting.

I'm excited and I think he is too.

He is growing up so fast. It's hard to keep up with him sometimes.

He's excited to make new friend and learn new things. Oh, and he gets to take his lunch to school. Like a picnic....EVERY DAY! Exciting.

Looking forward to not picking up a child right before lunch. Makes the day ALL crazy.

Good Lucky Gabe-y babe! We love you!
