Oh the Guilt

Ok, JB you guilted me into it.

Here I am with nothing much to say. All's pretty well with our clan. Maggie and Aidan are in school, 3rd and 1st grade and they seem to be doing really well. Maggie was recently cast as Goldilocks in a play that the school's putting on so that should be pretty fun.

Ike and Ian are still just hanging around. Ian's well into the one year old leaving a path of destruction behind him stage and I'm getting really sick of cleaning up his messes but the other day he came over and kissed me for no reason and suddenly all was forgiven. Ike's still stealing cars every chance he gets and there's a little part of me that's dreading summer because I have a very clear mental picture of the auto theft it's going to lead to (but if it keeps snowing I might just lose my mind so bring on the warm).

Shaun and I are the same as ever, working a lot, hanging on to our sanity a little and just y'know, getting along. the construction on the kitchen's done(ish) and for those interested you can find pictures here. Other than that, I was thinking about going back to school this summer but I think it's going to wait until fall at least, maybe the new year...

And that's all I've got. Adios.

The Ides of - or the End of March!

Here we are - almost at the end of March! I had some more surgery this morning - just a few new stitches and a couple of other spots scraped. Hopefully that is the end - I am sick of the whole thing. It's like the first quarter of the year is gone and I have done nothing except get cut - heal - get cut - heal!! It is getting old.

I sort of hoped Spring was really here then I woke up this morning to 6 inches of snow on the hood of my Jeep. Then the wind blew like crazy and it was stinking cold all day!!

I can't get very enthusiastic about writing very much because I guess if hardly anybody is writing here then hardly anyone is even reading here. I suppose you could prove me wrong but then you would have to write and the problem would be solved!!

I hope you are all doing better than I am.

Sorry JB!

If you check my own blog, I never write on that one either.  I have a hard time with the cyber communication.  I never read my emails either.  That is probably why I have lost touch with most of my friends.  Things are okay in Boise.  We suffer from the same terrible weather everyone else seems to be.  It's nice in Phoenix!  I'm wondering why I ever left.  Winter has been long and rough here.  We seem to bring bad weather with us.  Boise is usually really nice this time of year and everyone here is baffled.  

It was so nice to go home a few weeks ago and see everyone, particularly Grandpa for his birthday.  Nate had some interviews... no news yet.  Lawyers are slow to respond.  We still feel like chances are good that we will be in Salt Lake this summer.  I have to make the hard decision between BYU and U of U.  I love BYU but the thought of that drive makes me crazy!  I don't know a thing about U of U.  Feel free to give advice!  We have a family full of Cougars and Utes.  

School is going great for me and Nate still likes his job, but now that we know we are moving on yet again, we are anxious to do so.  Bowie is getting big and he changes colors weekly.  He is now a pretty light gray and beige.  He is a smart dog and we like him more and more as he gets older.  If we could find a house to rent we would consider getting a pal for him.  Apparently we are going to fill our house with dogs instead of kids!  For now, anyway.

I hope spring hits for everyone soon!
