Just an update

Sometimes life flies by so fast. How does that happen? I remember being young and it seemed to take FOREVER for some planned, exciting event to arrive. Now I rush around at the last minute trying to get ready for it because it snuck up on me. I have heard a theory about this that seems akin to relativity and that seems to make sense, but the tension remains. I want to really live and not just exist, but it seems that the necessary too often takes up all my time.

Grandma Gayla came to stay with the kids for a few days while Ryan and I were at the DFA Annual meeting in Kansas City. The kids LOVED their time with her as they don't get to see her very often. There were sporadic tears from Kaleb thoughout the day yesterday after she left. Today has been better although he wanted to call her right away, at 6:30, this morning.

The annual meeting was good. We got to connect with some friends that we hadn't seen since last year and it always is an excellent learning opportunity. I'm very sad that this is our last year, unless we are elected to an office within our district.

It is snowing here and I love it. Not as much as when it snows in the fall and winter, but still loving it. I always want to snuggle in and watch a movie when it happens. Maybe after my workout. Wyoming got at least 2 feet, yes FEET, of snow this last week, which changed my plans to return with my mom and work on their landscaping. Maybe later this year.
