Just Some Stuff

This last weekend Warren and I were able to get away and fly back to Utah for a few days.

It was a humbling experience for a couple of reasons.

First of all, I had to write down a schedule for my kids. It is crazy to see your own life written down on paper. I guess I didn't know how busy I truly was until I sat there looking at it all.

Also on that paper I saw the many friends and family members willing to come and go, take and pick up, check on and love our children while we were gone. Thanks to all of you who helped us out. Thanks mostly to my parents who willingly gave up three days of their lives to love our kids. My kids LOVE them and are always excited to see them and visit their house (Not to mention they got to throw away every pair of socks they own for grandma to buy them new ones). Thank you, thank you, thank you!

There will be an official Utah trip post to come. We had some camera issues, so it's going to take a little bit before I get my pictures back. We did so many fun things and got to go to Wyoming (It was zero degrees baby!) and see the Coates clan. Can't wait to post it all.

And here is Allison (Sorry about the blur, it is a cel. phone picture). She is my best friend and roommate from college. We met her and her wonderful husband for dinner. It was just like old times I tell ya. I miss her so much. We are truly soul sisters. And by the way, Allison and her cute hubby met on an airplane. Can you believe that? That's just the kind of fun, interesting gal she is. Never a dull moment with Allison!

I'm so glad you got to get away. Shawn and I have never yet spent one night alone since we became parents. Your friend is adorable!

I'm so glad that you and Warren were able to get away just the two of you. Brian and I don't get away to often just the two of us but when we do it's always so good for us and our marriage. I'm also glad that you were able to see the Coates Clan and your college roommate. I'm sure it was a good time and I'm looking forward to the pictures and hearing more about your trip!

I hope that you are having a good holiday season.

Love Ya,
JoLynn
