Too Much Fun



we have a lot going on these days and my To Do list is a mile long and proves it. hence, the lack of blogging. actually, not having internet anymore is probably whats most responsible for that.

we made it home, safe and sound, from mexico {turns out the claims from the US consulate were unsubstantiated – though it made me a little nervous}and headed straight up to utah for memorial day weekend and chris’s homecoming. it was wonderful. everyone needs a good dose of cedar city every once in a while. it does a body good.  

now we’re back to real life which consists of unpacking luggage, packing boxes, and loads and loads of laundry. our moving date is fast approaching. in two weeks time we will be moved out, apartment cleaned, and living at the skinners for one final week in AZ while our stuff is being driven across the country.  three weeks from tomorrow we sign the final papers and move into our new house.  it’s kind of surreal to think about.

change is in the air. it’s tangible. so much to do, so much to get ready, so many to say goodbye too.  it’s almost overwhelming.  but then the excitement kicks in and makes me feel ready for this new adventure. 

so for the next few weeks, count me out. we’re busy having too much fun.

and that’s an understatement. :)

It was great to see you and your adorable famliy last week. Chris' homecoming talk was incredible. He is incredible! And yes, I agree with your plan that we talked about on the phone the other day! :) PS the Mexico pictures are awesome!

I'm glad you are having so much fun! I remember how overwhelming it was moving half way across the country...but how exciting too! Our last few weeks before we moved were crazy, we called it our farewell tour! Good luck with everything!

I think we are going to be in Missouri the first week of July. I know you will just be getting settled, but if you want to meet up that would be awesome! Hopefully we will be getting some plans set soon, I will let you know.

That last picture is AMAZING!

Are you the one taking those great pictures? Love the first one. So fun and colorful and the action is captured perfectly. And the second is, well, I can see why it is your favorite. Totally awesome!! Lucky girl to be able to spend so much time there.
