Weekends

     I really do love my monkey-filled weekends. We're all listening to music chillin' in my room, waiting for Kirsten to be done with her tech stuff at school so we can go for a walk in the rain. We straightened up together, the littlest monkeys have been working on their Christmas lists & Vernie and I are keeping the laundry moving.
     I love when they're here for my 4 days. It's relaxing, it's comfy, it's the way our lives should be.

So yeah

I didn't get better at blogging this year like I'd hoped. I may have actually posted less this year that I did last year. :p Life has gone on. It's been a harder one for sure, but yeah, still breathing! It's not like I have nothing to say. More like I don't know where to start. Sadly, I don't feel awesome at the moment, so I might have to come back with a plan or idea. Right now I think I'm going to go cuddle with some monkeys, close my eyes and dream of my J. :D

she lives

Hola blogger friends!
I'm just checking in! I know, I know - it's been awhile. There are so many good things on the horizon though that I think I just may start finding time to sit at my desk and share a little more. Between upcoming vacations (of epic proportions!), cool and exciting changes at work and training for the Other Half Marathon (13.1 miles eek!) I may just find myself with things to say that are worth sharing. Plus my first grandbaby (Brandon & Christy are excited!) is due in October and Kirsten is turning 16. Fun stuff! :)

Brandon & Christy

I have decided to post pics from Brandon's wedding in Montana here instead of on facebook for the most part. I don't love that everything you post on facebook becomes their property. My pictures are mine. I also don't love when people steal images (yes that's right, when you right-click on a picture someone else took and copy it you are stealing. It's not nice.) I'd say yes if people asked, I just prefer that they do. Brandon and Christy, you of course can copy anything you want, and Robin, I have an understanding with you too. ;) lol

It was an awesome weekend, I loved being able to see my oldest monkey so happy and enjoyed every minute I spent with them. I love 'em to pieces, and wish 'em the absolute best.

And there are lots more pics, including more shots of all the family who came and the drive through yellowstone. I just wanted to get a few up here for them before I head to work.

...and the pics are bigger than the blog, but I don't have time to fix it. Oh well. :p

baby it's cold outside

I'm past ready for this winter to be officially over. It's been so cold here it's made the walk to work every night something I seriously dread. On the upside, when it's as bad as it was today it gives Maiah and I the excuse to hide under the covers and watch a million episodes of Blues Clues. I'm all for hibernation!
