travel. why does it feel so good? why does that first 100 miles out of the city make me feel swollen with glee?
spring driving is better than spring cleaning in so many ways. even a weekend away makes the house seem fresh again, and all my senses are renewed. i feel like a wind-blown tent with its doors flapping open. (that musty clap-trap?)
why were we gone? to celebrate some nup-shalls. cousin jenica and her fianz, tyler, are now man and woman--hubs and wife. smart people that they are, they're moving to l.a. for the summer. see you soon, friends!
while in utah we saw all of Little's grandparents (she wakes up in the morning signing for g-pa and asking for "paca." next to the dog, he is her current favorite). we saw cousins and babies and best friends, aunties and uncs and cats and dogs. also, the world's largest thermometer. we ate sushi and mexican food and drank plenty of that most delicious of beverages--you know the one (well, i did, not Little). there's no time like vacation for indulging.
yes, Little and i are feeling invigorated and refreshed. our borders have been enlarged and we've spent time with some of our favorites. but home is sweet and we are back for more.
p.s. no signs of bachelor weekend. hubs does good work.

I'm so glad you made the trip here for the weekend. My only regret was that I didn't have the presence of mind to have you come over after Jenica and Tyler's reception. Some people went their separate ways, but some of us were sitting up talking afterward when, much to our surprise the front door opened and in walked Bren and Teresa, still in their wedding clothes, toting the middle layer of the wedding cake--not that there was any room in our stomachs to put more food, but we gave it the old college try. We're always up for a challenge. In the future, however, always remember that you are welcome here any time, day or night. And that sometimes you just have to invite yourself. Because the hostesses not always up to their best hostessing. Sorry to have missed you on Saturday, too. We took Shanon to a store at Thanksgiving Point that he wanted to see on his way out of town and it took us much longer than expected. I was sad when I returned and you were gone. Plus, had I cooked on Sunday, I'd have invited you to dinner, but everyone flew this coup (except Amanda) so she and I microwaved a couple of Healthy Choice dinners! I'm sure you fared much better.
so glad you could indulge with me for some of the time you were here!! I have the funniest story to tell now!! You know the one. COurse I NEVER will. You are the best!! SO glad you came. Next time we need our babies to play more!
neesh - you are the best hostess on the planet! you make it so fun (and easy) to visit and never get anything but dishes to do in return. :-(
