Busy Busy Busy

I did not intend on waiting this long to blog again! Time has a way of escaping me. This weekend we took a mini trip to York, NE to spend some time with family. My Great Aunt & Uncle were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, so a ton of people came to town for it. My Grandparents from Colorado came, so Phil and I packed up the kids and drove the hour and a half to see them. I am so glad we did, I hadn't seen the G.G.'s (Short for Great Grandparents -- for Aiden and Graham) since Christmas of 2008 -- before we were prego with Graham! It didn't feel that long though, since I talk to them several times a week on the phone....For at least 30 minutes at a time...Anywho -- So we stayed in a hotel with our 2 boys, which was interesting. Our schedules were so off, Aiden hardly slept and barely ate -- and it seemed once one was sleeping the other was waking up. There was so much to see and endless things for a toddler to explore; and so many walls to knock into along the way! It was nice visiting, I just wish we would have had a few more days -- and some baby gates :o)

I also wanted to comment about my new daily routine... Before I can explain, you need some history... When I first moved to Nebraska it was into the dorms in Lincoln. I took a Spanish class M-F starting at 8:30 am (what I was thinking doing that--who knows!) So on my way back from Spanish class, I would walk up the 3 flights of stairs and make my way to my room. Every door on my floor would be open (lived in an all girls dorm) and The Price Is Right would be on EVERY SINGLE TV. I never understood this -- being from Colorado, NOBODY I knew watched this show. I didn't see the appeal, all the loud audience members with their home made shirts... What a show... Just recently I have become a fan (I guess living in Nebraska for over 7 years did it to me! LOL) I want to spin that damn wheel -- the wheel that determines who goes to the showcase. It makes me feel like such a dummy, but I have to see that part of the show. So today, I tune in to see it and every member of the audience was an active member of the military. They had army, navy, marine, coast guard, air force -- it was very cool. Anyways, if you are currently serving or you did in the past THANK YOU! I appreciate you and the hard work you did/do.

By the way -- I am no longer a blonde, I made the transition to a full fledged brunette. I am sooooo not used to it yet -- but got tired of my roots growing out and having blonde ends. I will have to change the colors I use for makeup (HA! That is laughable, considering I very seldom wear it!) Hopefully I wont look like a drag queen experimenting with some bolder eye shadow colors! (Not that looking like a drag queen is a bad thing....if you are a drag queen! Just not for me, a mother of 2!) So until next time :o)
