Summer Week in Utah

We left for Utah on Wed. (the kids and I). Flew in and rented what else...a mini van. I am not a mini van Mom(No offense to those that are). Went to my Mom's house to stay for a nice long visit. I am happy to have a wonderful Mom that I enjoy being around and their is always something going on at her house. We had family dinner's, parties, fireworks(won't go there now),water fun, and enjoyed a lot of family time. I was lucky enough to get to talk to my youngest (littlest) brother. :) We don't usually get time to talk and he took me to the Red Iguana....I highly recommend it!! Had a great visit with him. His girlfriend too is THE BOMB! I love them both!
The kids loved Discovery Gateway! I enjoyed pushing them down between the HUGE domino's and them falling giggling. We had a great time in Utah. The only thing (person) missing was my love Scott.

Planning another cruise

Looking forward to next summer. We are planning a cruise in the Netherlands. Visiting 5 countries sounds like fun! Taking the kids will be fun. Hopefully this school year will bring about a few projects for us to go visit. Last year it was the Brooklyn Bridge and the Eiffel tower. We got to the Brooklyn Bridge and hopefully on this cruise we will get to the Eiffel tower. Dreaming of France....but first a Disney World trip for Thanksgiving.
I posted this picture from the last cruise we were on Nov. 2010.

Moon River - Breakfast at Tiffany's

Hollygolightly

"Moon river...."
Holly Golightly: You know those days when you get the mean reds?
Paul Varjak: The mean reds, you mean like the blues?
Holly Golightly: No. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?
Paul Varjak: Sure.
Holly Golightly: Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!

One of the best characters created, Holly Golightly.

The MAN of My Dreams

Scott and I on a cruise in November 2010.

I don't know what I did to deserve such a wonderful husband as Scott. He is my BFE ( Best Friend for Eternity), the father to my children, the hand I hold hen I am scared, the one person who ALWAYS lifts me up. I cannot express all that he means to me or does for me. We have our differences....but that is what makes us great together.
We had a discussion a few weeks ago about going on a mission. I was so excited abut this!! Planning to go once this kids are grown and on their own. I look forward to being old, wrinkly, and holding the hand of the one I will spend the eternities with. I love you Scott!
