boy howdy: a travel log
Sheesh and man alive, I am beat! And then some. I can't even remember what I've been up to these past few weeks, but I'll try my best to recollect... so we were up in Washington for a while and came home for a day to ourselves. Then one of my BFF's came for a few days; what a treat! A day after her departure, we had a little shindig with some buddies before they left, and a couple of days later we headed out for Utah. Brad had some business to attend to and we had some family and friends to visit. It's been far too long, but we finally got to spend some quality time with grandparents, sister/brother and nephews/cousins for a week (Monk was in heaven, and frankly, so was I. Thanks Ellen for being the sister I always wanted!). I'm not even sure if the hub was able to get enough work done, which was the main reason we headed out that way...I was also able to meet up with my pals from the web, Jbird (who graciously took some amazing family photos) and Lacey (who is officially THE cutest and sweetest pregnant lady I've ever met). Much fun, but too short a visit, gals! Oh, and we also made a quick stop in St. George to see my lovely Aunt S. AND Brad has some family in Vegas that we got to spend some time with and we're already planning on future trips to Sin City, in the next year or so... you know, to slip some coins into slots and window shop for a possible home. We'll see how far temptation takes us ;)
Wait, I'm not finished, yet! Now that we're home for a few days, I'm attempting to move mountains of laundry (I seriously have like, 50-odd loads), take a test, fulfill some orders and finish up some fun and exciting projects that I still haven't even mentioned yet! Don't even ask me how many emails and blogs I have to go through... Then, come Monday it's a day at Dland with my family, followed by a huge Borgia reunion up in Sacramento. Basically, when we get back next Saturday (?) I plan on locking myself in my apartment until Comic-Con (yup, still as dorky as ever; I'm also lame and feeling fat).Oh, and gas prices (now $4.50) do NOT help in all of this traveling... also, we are poorer than dirt. But, we have discovered that Arby's makes some killer subs! *B
YEAH...*sigh* gas prices DO take some of the fun out of living. :(
ReplyDeleteFun times! Can't believe you were as close as Utah and I didn't get to see you...what a bummer. Love the pics that you linked to. They are so cute and I can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteThanks for squeezing us into your crazy schedule! It was so much fun to see you guys and Cade is still talking about wanting to go to Wills house so they can go see Mickey together. Sorry he was such a crazy boy...you gotta love a sugared up, past bed time, way too wound up almost 3-year-old little boy! You guys are wonderful and we hope to see you again soon. PS- thanks again for dessert! You REALLY didn't have to do that!
ReplyDeleteglad you guys are back for a few days. we were getting bore without you, have fun though next week. just remember how boring life can be without those fun little trips that you are getting way to much of this past while.
ReplyDeleteMan Alive!! I guess I'll stop complaining about how I miss your posts... *ahem!* Just kidding, but I do seriously envy all of this fun stuff you guys have going on. And don't let the gas prices get you down b/c when the oil execs. are burning in a fiery furnace, we'll have the last laugh, ha! Happy Travels :)
ReplyDeletei think being busy is better than twiddlin' your thumbs :) I'm glad you're having so much fun!!! you're lookin' as beautiful as ever
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're out of hiding! It was great to read up on your travels and fun family times! Good luck getting all that laundry done...I'm trying to move mountains of if myself...and I don't even have a trip to blame!
ReplyDeleteoooh... Beth... window shopping in Vegas? How fun would that be! Sounds like you guys had a blast... I LOVE being on the road for weeks and I really LOVE the laundry piles that accompany it... Good luck!
ReplyDeleteShopping for a house in Vegas!! Yeah you will be by me... It is great here believe it or not! and did you say you were feeling fat is there a reason or just because you are a girl and us girls get that way (hope I am not getting too personal in asking?!)
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is up with gas! Man am I glad my life is now walking and taking the occasional suicidal latin taxi.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you guys have had so much fun in your travels! Oh gas, let's not even go though. Wow, I guess that can be taken the wrong way. I meant the price in gas **sigh** I won't complain at our almost $4 a gal.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your family reunion and Disneyland!!
