Friday Letters




Dear Children, I think we were all pretty burnt out this week. We did go to the pool one day, but most of the time you just stayed home. Dear Avary, I'm not sure what to do with you! You sprained your ankle pretty bad, we thought it was broken. You were relived to hear you wouldn't have a cast, me too. This time you got hurt from doing something normal! Ha Well, wearing wedges and walking and curbs can be pretty dangerous. Believe me, I know. Dear D+S, your wedding was so beautiful. I am so excited for you to start a new life together, I know there is so much happiness ahead. Dear Family, It was so great to see so much family that I haven't seen in years. Weddings are always good for that. I had the best time. I even got to see all 3 of my long lost brothers! Dear Utah, there is so many fun things to do there and it really is so beautiful. I can see why people choose to live there. Dear Drive, after the wedding we drove until midnight and then slept and headed off again for home. 13hrs in the car. It was all good until I got a little car sick and got a huge headache. When picking up Will's car from MaPa's I hit both of them up for a shoulder rub, just enough for me to drive the remaining 3hrs home. I'm glad to be home. Dear Earthquake, we wondered why some stuff was knocked over in the house. We were one hour too late to feel the earthquake in the Gila Valley. Dear Packing, I think I am starting to hate you. I'm a little tired though so maybe that is affecting things. I haven't even un-packed from the last trip out of town. Dear Ranch, the kids are so excited. And it isn't even as fun as it was when I was a kid. Good thing they don't know the difference. I'm glad they have so much fun there. Dear Will, after spending the week with you I wasn't looking forward to you going back to work. Although, with some of the grumpy days the kids had this week I'm sure you were ok with it. I am pretty happy that I get to spend the next week with you home even if all we do is clean. Dear Self, I have been in a funk all week. At least it happened at the end of our trip and not during. Where has my holiday spirit gone?!
