I KNOW I KNOW!!! I SUCK!! It has been forever since I have gotten on here and filled everyone in, but don't you worry, I have gotten some serious grief for it--courtesy of my lovely friends, Chelsea and Kelli. :) I love you girls!!
This was an amazing weekend. I was in some serious need for a girls night and that is certainly what I got. My wonderful friend Chelsea was getting married to one of the cutest guys I've ever met. The two of them are absolutely PERFECT for each other. (When I get some pix, I'll post them.) So, Chelsea invited myself and Kelli over for a final hoorah and slumber party the night before the wedding! (For those of you who don't know, Chelsea and Kelli are two of my most wonderful friends that were nannies with me in Connecticut. We were all friends the minute we met and are just as close--despite all the miles between us!) Kelli lives in Colorado, so we don't see each other much, in fact, the last time we saw each other was almost four years ago!! So, needless to say, we had plenty of catching up to do.
So, once my stinkin' homework was finished, I headed up to Chelsea's for a night of girl talk. We had so much fun catching up, talking about things only girls can talk about (you know what I mean) and watching our little Chelsea get ready to become a little wifey! We talked until WAY too late about who-knows-what, but had an amazing time!! I have been craving time with friends, so I was able to come home refreshed and ready for another round of school, school and more school.
Chelsea was absolutely stunning in her wedding dress and Tyson was obviously bursting with excitement over getting to marry such a wonderful girl. (I wish you could have seen his face and the way he looked at you, Chelsea. Pure joy!! That will be with me forever!) Thanks Chelsea and Kelli for a MUCH NEEDED time out from reality with two of my favorite people!! I love you guys!!

Lions and Tigers and Bears...OH MY!
Well, so far, NOT so good..... I had a feeling it would be difficult for me to keep updated on this, but I will stick to it and hopefully when things calm down a bit, the posts will be more frequent.
Well, tonight looked like it was going to be a quiet night, by myself, once the girls went to bed. (By quiet, I mean me and the clicking of the keys on the computer while I did my homework-ahhh, my life.) Joe, as most of you know, is in Law School at BYU and some law group was having a camp out up the canyon. He was so excited to have a little time with Luke, doing "man" stuff. Luke was excited too, or so I thought, until this afternoon he asked me a very loaded question. "Mommy, are we going into the forest to camp?" "MmmHmm." I said cautiously, guessing what was coming. "Are there bears in the forest?" Ah crap-"Well.... yes Luke, but not where you'll be. Besides, bears are scared of people-we're so loud! You have nothing to worry about, Luke. Your daddy will keep you safe." He nodded and I breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that me and my alone time had barely made it out alive.
All was set, seats out of the back of the van, inflatable mattress-(hey, we don't claim to be hard core campers), and marshmallow. The girls and I waved goodbye and my quiet time started shortly after. There is something about being alone, these days, that I just love. Even if it's grocery shopping, at Wal-mart, at 10:30 at night, I am all for it. Maybe it's the lack of it that makes me crave it so badly. Who knows, but I was enjoying it, maybe too much, because not 2 hours after they left my phone starts to ring. The campsite was way out there, so I was surprised (and nervous) to see that it was Joe. When I picked up the phone, all he said was, "We're about 5 minutes from home." "Bears?" was my reply and like that, my evening alone shattered into a million tiny pieces all because of my need to feel honest.
Next time, I decided, I would lie!!

My attempt at Journaling
Well, I've decided to take a hop onto the blogging bandwagon. I don't claim to be a scrapbooker, even in the slightest. So, this is my attempt at clinging to the many memories life is giving me, which will undoubtably be forgotten in a matter of days. We'll see how this goes... Wish me luck.
P.S. Will someone please tell me why I'm not allowed to use exclaimation points?
