My mom, brother, sister and nephew all came to visit this last weekend. My sister graduated with her Master’s Degree (!!) so this was her grad gift from Mom – to come out for an all-expenses paid trip to visit yours truly. They were here for about 3 days and, as always, it went by…

Christmas 2009
We went to Utah for Christmas to visit my side of the family. It was a lot of fun. We ate so much dang food. But thank goodness it’s not just me. From the looks of other blogs and facebook updates I’m reading, it sounds like most of us kept with the American tradition and…
Couple Quick Trips...
This last week was so busy! We got our new stacking washer/dryer set up, some new cabinets installed, and finished up the painting in the hallway. It looks so great and I just love my washer and dryer! Although I keep thinking how sad it is – I’m so old that a washer/dryer has been…
SLC and Fam-i-lee
The last week feels like it was 3 weeks wrapped into one. It was very busy and fun and I’ve quite enjoyed myself. In Utah, the Dave Matthews Band concert was CANCELED for the second year in a row. It is just not meant to be!!! We couldn’t believe that this could happen again. But…
Coo-Coo For Nephew...
It’s kind of hilarious the things I find myself doing when my nephew is here. Jumping up and down a lot, talking into fans like Darth Vader, dancing shamelessly in public, chasing cat toys, making a LOT of silly faces, singing Spongebob at the top of my lungs… I’ll basically do anything for a laugh.…
Tour de Los Angeles (This is a Long One...)
WOW! What a week. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some family visiting from Finland and I was one heck of a tour guide. In fact, I was so good, that I wore myself out!! Haha. I slept really well last night, but it may take me a few days to get…
Family Fun
As I mentioned in my previous post, we got to visit Utah last weekend for my brother’s graduation. After a quick 1-nighter in Vegas, we spent a few really lovely days at my Mom’s place. Southern Utah is an area that Hubs and I have really grown to love. We get really excited to go…
My Two Moms!
Just wanted to say a quick thank you to my awesome Mom and my sweet Mother-in-Law. They are different in so many ways and have each faced their own unique set of challenges in life. However, in the important area of motherhood, they are the same. They are both caring, loving examples who are active…
From One Spring Break to Another...
I had all these fun visitors last week and got to spend a couple days in San Diego. Then I came home, turned around and went to Palm Springs for the weekend! I don’t know how I got so lucky! My cousin’s family came into town on Saturday and stayed with us for 2 nights.…
Sista Love Too!
My sister wrote the sweetest blog entry about none other than ME. So here’s a little shout-out to you, sissy: As I read your blog, I was laughing and crying at the same time. You got me a little veklempt on that one. I have missed you terribly lately. You have been through a lot…
