Going Home (for a little while)

Moving to the promised land, and no not Jerusalem.

Well it's just temporary, but get to see family and friends.

Then we'll be jet-setting around the world. I feel like a diva that gets to change dirty diapers. Can't wait to be back and grazing, hoping to update more frequently.

But alas, it will be picture posts since I am going to have the camera surgically implanted to suck in the essence of all that is Texas!

Ramblings of a Traveller

Ohh.. off to the west coast again soon! Can't wait.. gotta get laundry done, and packing. So much to do and so little time. Gotta take extra batteries for the camera.. it's going to be a while before we get back to see that pretty area again!

Oh how much I take for granted living in this gorgeous country!

Happy Birthday Mom!

It's my mom's birthday! We love you! Hope you have a kickass birthday!

Hi again

Hi there,
I know that I haven't written in a bit, but I will now. In about 6 months (exactly) we will be moving. There is so much to get done, and it seems like the year is starting to go by faster. I know that as we get closer to moving it will seem like it takes forever to get from one day to the next.
In a couple weeks we will be going to visit RMR. It's been a while since we have seen her and S. It will be nice seeing the Pacific Northwest again! I hope they will be able to visit us in Australia once we move there.
Lil S is doing great. She is back in her library storytimes, and MOPS, and she is enjoying it immensely. D is also doing well, he got a promotion last summer and is now getting us ready to move. Exciting, but sometimes overwhelming too!
Hope you are doing well and have a new year! I will update later!

Have a great 2007!

Happy New Year! Be safe!

Merry Christmas from Aunt Helen and Uncle John

Sorry for the lack of lighting on my part and my giggling, I had a good time visiting with them, and hope that you enjoy the Christmas greeting!

The weather outside is...

a BLIZZARD!

These are the best ever!

Out to dinner

The hubs is taking me out for dinner at Buca Di Beppo, and then to see Andrea Bocelli!

I am so excited!

Another happy tummy!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

(though I think Lil S would object over this picture)

Cold

So it's about that time of year again. I can't believe how freaking cold it's gotten within the last couple of weeks.. snow is coming here.. my last snow for a while.. it's going to be weird without it being cold for about 6 months of the year.

Just getting ready for the week ahead, and looking forward to our trip!

I will get a pic up sometime on Sunday. I will... really I will. :)

AACCCCCK

oh this time. I was out.. man.. i wanted to post everyday, but i forgot last night... :( Maybe I will still count in this contest..

Yesterday was Lil S turned 15 months old. I can't believe it. I will upload some pics to her blog later.. maybe even this one, since it's been a while.

We went out to the Pawnee Butte National Grasslands yesterday. It was really pretty out there, but quite chilly too. We took the dog to, and she LOVED it.

Ok will update later.. the LIL Boss is calling me, must go now.

I couldn't think of any title (Day 8)

You would think that life is perfect, but then something comes up and you are back at the beginning, wondering if there will ever be a day when everything's perfect.

I have always thought that... like in High school, I finally was cool enough, but then we graduated and went to college, and I was a no-one, albeit cool anyway cause by that point I didn't care anymore.

I wonder if it's just something that happens that eventually you don't care what people think of you, because some days I care, but lately more and more, I just don't give a damn. I don't care what people think of my clothes, my weight, my profession, my life.

I care what I think, and maybe my immediate family. I am usually an agreeable person, but lately I get the feeling that the world is a dog eat dog type of place. You gotta look out for #1.

Despite all best intentions, there are days that you don't give a damn. I don't today.

Favorite Shows (Day 7)

What's is going on in Grey's Anatomy? I just got to watch it last night as well as 7th Heaven. I hope that Eric will be okay on there, I can't imagine they would have him croak. I am so liking the DVR cause you can have all the shows you watch stored up, and when the kiddo is asleep going downstairs with a bowl o popcorn and catching up on your favorite shows. I hope my sister gets that soon, then she isn't so stressed if she misses one. I heard someone gets shot on Desperate Housewives.. i really haven't gotten into that show much, but I do love Felicity Huffman's work. She is a great actress.

Ok gotta go and nap. I am tired from MOPS today.

Holy Moly what a day! (Day 6)

So it's been a long day, teething almost 15 month old, clean house (which I stayed up late to help D with), and bath time was so not fun, I got drenched, and after I toweled the lil one dry she pees everywhere... ah, so these are the fun times they are talking about.

How does some little baby get 4 teeth coming in at the same time? I can't imagine the pain.
Poor lil one :(

I am going to clean up and go to sleep. It's been a long long day!

We are coming... (Day 5)

I found out what my Christmas present is.... A trip back to the homeland.. yes we are going to Texas!!!

(and no i don't vote republican!!!)

I am so excited I can barely sit down and concentrate to type this!

Lil S is going to go and meet all our friends and family. I am so so so so so so so excited, and hopefully one day we won't have to leave!

It's still on time (Day 4)

It is still 11:56pm on 11/4/2006... so I am still in under the time for posting for the 4th...

So we had a great day, and we got to see our good friends... it's going to be hard on us moving, since we know nobody there, but I am going to try to stay optimistic.

Not much else.. we are exhausted, and ready to sleep, sorry this post is so late in the evening, i know you were staying up to see what I posted.. but here it is in all of it's not so glory!!!

My computer has a different time than the blogger time listed below :)
