Summer Vacation Day 1

Today is the very first day of Summer vacation. I keep waiting for the feeling of no responsibilities to settle in around me. So far that feeling has alluded me.

Probably because as much as I want to pretend that summer vacation is a time out from our busy schedule, our summer is quickly feeling up.

Today was spent preparing S. for EFY. Tomorrow I will take her to her cousins house, and the next day my sister-n-law will deliver both girls to camp. This will be the first time that I have ever spent an entire week away from S. I'm excited for her and at the same time not so thrilled. Where in the heck did my baby girl go?

(The date on the picture says 1998 but I swear it was yesterday)

(2001 I don't think so. More like 10 minutes ago!)

2002 10 Samantha's 6 year's old picture (1)

(This is a current picture except the date says 2002)

(2004 :( 30 seconds ago. I swear!)

I really need to deal with the fact that all of my monsters are growing up. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal? :) Anyone... anyone... anyone...

(Almost exactly a year ago today. But... but... but...)

I attend school all summer long. I am a full fledged Senior now and have 8 classes left before I am done. That too seems a little surreal. I always planned on finishing my degree I just never knew how or when it would happen. Now I'm in the final year and by this time next year I will be job hunting.

Thursday, I take the second of the four tests I have to take in order to license, and prepare for graduate school. I'm nervous, but as long as I don't freak out I will pass.

Two of the wonderful ladies that I did the Little Red with did the Little Red again today. I'm jealous because I can't believe how much I am missing exercising and being fit. I really need to pull that part of my life together. My number one goal for the summer is to get back into an exercise routine. My number two goal is to reclaim my first place status in tetris. (Yup! that is a challenge and you know who you are)

I told one of the ladies that I will be riding with them next year. I will done with school and wont have any excuses.Well maybe I can come up with an excuse or two but I know it would be good for me to have a plan. I mean I have to have something to do when the hours of homework suddenly disappear.

So what exciting summer plans do you have?

Happy Summer

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real. Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself. By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive!

"Laughing All the Way"

Most of the year Brent lives a pretty quiet existence. He goes about his own business with out the world taking much notice, to what he is up to and what he is doing. However, when the snow starts falling, the neighbors start laughing. Brent has become the neighborhood novelty. The funny guy on the corner. The, "Can you believe that Brent was outside, in the snow, shoveling, while in his sandals." Yes you read that correctly. While I refuse to buy boots, because I don't live where it gets cold and snows, and one needs boots. Brent simply does not wear said boots. Unless, he is going to work and HAS to. To the neighbors this is Brent. A few have tried to explain to him the core differences between living in California and Utah. Like, say, wearing actual shoes while shoveling. Oh, and hey, a coat! Brent's California brain has not excepted these facts. In fact, he claims that his sandals have better traction. "Big Sigh," it is nice to know your husband ...
