Deep thoughts at Christmas

I haven't posted for awhile because it didn't seem like there was anything interesting to share. However, if I hold out for deep thoughts, I may never post again. So, instead, hopefully this will make you laugh...

Family Makes My Heart Happy

Image
  It's been over a year since I wrote anything here.  But, that one line about sums it up:  FAMILY MAKES MY HEART HAPPY.  I've had a few diversions, like taking some Spanish classes at BYU and keeping busy with some service in the community, but otherwise, the days have flown by in pursuit of loving my family.  It hasn't all been easy or fun, but here are some of my favorite highlights: Lots of trips/visits to see each other...sometimes across town...sometimes across the country... Lots of celebrations... Lots of outdoor adventures and silliness... Hours and hours of Facebook Messenger... Quite a few concerts... Two trips to the Pacific Northwest...one to the Track and Field Olympic Trials and one to an Alaskan Cruise... And even adding a few more family members to love... In celebration of the people you call your family, go find one of them to hug -- in person, or with words.  I may not be perfect at it, but I'm learning more and more each day about how t...

Longest Summer Ever

Image
  Yesterday officially marked the end of summer.  Phew!  Not only has it been hot and dry, but it has been full to the brim with adventure.  Here are a few of the highlights: In May, we had a few graduations and helped a child move to a new apartment... Then we fled the country to hike 84 miles around the Beara Peninsula in Ireland. While we were in Ireland, the kiddos left on a road trip across the country so one of them could say he'd been to all 50 states. A few weeks later, we did a road trip to the Wind Rivers, the Tetons, and Yellowstone (one of our kids got married in a small private ceremony while we were gone).. Then we flew to Portland (after a quick 4th of July breakfast) to have some adventures with extended family... We focused on hosting guests and a wedding for a few weeks (relaxing and enjoying time with family amid the wedding hustle and bustle)... Two weeks later, we drove to San Diego for our first ever family reunion with our immediate family (onl...

DOGS HATE ME!!

As if I need one more thing to have an irrational fear of!! I thought I was being a great citizen and mother this morning by walking to school instead of driving, and thus spending quality time with my son as we walked together. After dropping him off and heading back up the hill home, I passed by a house with a dog out front (which is nothing surprising since it seems that's the norm around this hick neighborhood). I made eye contact with the beast, slowed my pace a bit, and walked on the far side of the sidewalk past him. Nevertheless, he decided I looked threatening I guess, and ran around behind me and sunk his teeth into my meaty backside! I screamed in shock and fortunately he decided I didn't taste good (kind of like sharks, I guess). A few people driving past slowed down to see what happened, but then drove on. The owner came out and I shouted, "Your dog just bit me!" Of course, as all dog owners innocently claim, "he's never done anything lik...
