Ok. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Jeremy, Karen, and I all watched this together and it was riotous. It has to be passed on. Let me know what you think!!
Thanks Dirty South and Lins for keeping us laughing, even when you are across the river.

Welcome Home
I am a lucky girl.
When I leave Jeremy at home by himself it's usually because he's stuck working- while I'm playing. But he is a great sport.
When I return home from being gone I never have any hesitation because I know the house will be perfect upon my arrival. I honestly do not have one horror story of coming home and the house looking like a bomb went off. In reality the house is usually in better condition than when I left. I can count on the floors being vacuumed, swept, washed, laundry done, dishes done, beds made and more often than not a beautiful bouquet of fragrant flowers sitting on the table. I was not disappointed this week.
These flowers have been going strong since Monday and they still look fabulous. So I have have enjoyed them for 5 days, if only the clean house would have lingered around so long!
Since I discovered Aselin I'm in love. So she is being featured today, for the third day in a row.

Girls Weekend
When you come back from a trip everyone asks THE question.
"What did you do?"
I got a lot of those after this weekend.
A few of my old roommates and I rented a cabin and took a weekend retreat all by ourselves. Five of us were supposed to come, and three made it. Jackie and Eliza you were missed.
So, what did we do? Nothing, really, and that's the reason it was so great. We had no agenda, no expectations, no plans... it was a fabulous vacation.
We met up Thursday afternoon and unloaded our stuff at the cabin in Wolf Creek, Ut. Then we headed into Ogden and ate at Olive Garden. We hit the Old Navy and Ross across the parking lot and then went home. We stayed up late talking and slept in late too.
Friday morning we sat in the hot tub, went to the gym, and played a few rousing rounds of racquet ball. We took showers and had lunch at 2:30. Then we watched mindless shows like "Top 20 fashion don'ts" and "The Simple Life". We wandered the mall for at least 5 hours browsing endlessly in stores where we didn't have strollers to maneuver around and children to convince that it would only be 5 more minutes. We rented a movie and made dinner at 11:00 pm - in true college fashion.
The next day we got up early had breakfast, and went to do a session at the Salt Lake Temple, and then we parted ways.
So all in all there isn't much to tell. It was fun just being able to relax, reconnect, and reminisce about old friends, FHE brothers/sisters, crushes and see how our lives (and everyone elses') seemed to turn out different than we thought.
We just took a break from reality, from the hectic pace of everyday life- and that was all the fun I needed.

I'm Done, Officially!
I mean it. I'm finished driving to Utah for the year. Don't worry I'll probably be eating my words in just a few months when we find another reason to go back.
My drive alone was a success. I wasn't willing to pay $74.99 to download Harry Potter, so I settled on "The Second Summer of the Sisterhood". It is the follow-up to the Traveling Pants book. It was good enough to keep me awake until I rolled into Lehi at 5:54 am, and I finally finished it as we crossed the bridge back into Washington.
Funny thing- I pulled into the rest stop yesterday between Ogden and Tremonton and changed Brynners' diaper around 7 am. I noticed the family next to us was doing the same thing. Then I realized it was Kim and Eden. How funny that we stop at the same rest stop at the same time and park RIGHT next to eachother. We met up in Mountain Home and had lunch at McDonalds.
The ride home was uneventful. The highlight for Kaden was watching TV all day- and Brynnlee's dream come true was no discipline for a day. I mean really, what are you going to do when she's tossing Cheetos at you and dumping Crystal Light in her carseat? Pull over every two minutes? No thanks. Needless to say she had a great time and I made it home.

Utah, Again.
Ok. Surprise, surprise I'm driving to Utah today! So if someone feels like going on a whim I could totally use a driving partner. 10 hrs in a car alone with 2 kids- fun! I'm not leaving until tonight, so feel free to call me. If not, I may have to download Harry Potter on the ipod to keep me awake.
