Whew - I haven't posted in forever. Does anyone still read this? I think Facebook has ruined blogging. Just sayin'...
I am off on an 11 day trip - by myself. I haven't done that in forever, and certainly not for that many days. I am going to BYU Women's Conference with two HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS! Yes, seriously. I knew Miki and Debbie in high school, and we later became BYU roommates. Debbie and I both served missions at the same time. We have stayed connected, but haven't truly spent time together in a million years. I refuse to count how many years because that would prove how old I am. And then Emily will scold me, so I won't go there.
I used to make fun of my mother for going out with her "old friends". I never "got" it. I get it now.
I am then driving to Y-daho to visit my son in Rexburg. He has a new girlfriend.... the timing works out great. I will get to meet her. He isn't coming home for the summer, so this will be a needed visit to see my boy while he is still MY boy. Those days are numbered.
And, then, I am flying to Arizona to see my family. I can't wait. A new little one will be born soon - my niece's first baby. I am so excited. And, I'll get to see the new baby of another niece. Can't wait for that as well. I may see a few more OLD friends and OLD cousins while I"m there. WOOT!
I'm leaving Les and Rich home. Alone. Together. I hope they both survive. Actually, everyone is in a "good place" right now, and I am certain they will do well. It is a parent pay-off moment when you can leave your college-aged daughter at home and know she will be an asset to our home and to her father. And, hopefully they will have some FUN, too!
So, if I can get my act together, I will take good photos and blog about my adventures. I need this trip. I am ready to FLY!
Guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning, though......
