Alive and Kickin.....


First of all, a huge congratulations to Patrice and Allen! Their handsome little guy, Evan, is the tiniest, most adorable little thing I have ever seen. They were kind enough to let me take a detour and stay at their house on my way to Gilbert so I could visit them and see their new addition to the family. He is TINY. I hoped that Allen holding him out for us would show how little he is, but it still doesn't do him justice. I just love that little guy. Good work to the new Mom and Dad!

Welcome to my backyard...
I would show you pictures of my house, but it's still a disaster from me moving in and being way too lazy to organize and clean yet. But it is awesome! Noah did such a good job picking a place to live without me. It was totally crazy to walk up the front walk of a house I've never seen before and knock, only to have my husband answer the door -- and he lives there! And technically, so do I!

It was 108 my first full day here...whew. But right now it's a cool 98.6 and the sun is out of my backyard and the hose is running making it seem even cooler. We have a nice little backyard, and if anyone wanted to come see it, I'd be more than willing to set up the sprinkler and you could play as much as you wanted! Haha, yeah right. I know we are WAY too far out of the way to just pop in...but maybe if some of you wanted a really warm fall or spring break, you'd manage to make your way down. I actually really like it here. And I think the heat will be okay...as long as I don't have to be out in it too much.

Anyway, I'm alive and kickin...I know I haven't really updated too many of you. Keep me updated as to what is happening in the cooler parts of the world... So far since being here, I've read 3 books, watched 8 hours of SYTYCD, and rented a movie from RedBox everyday :) If anything more exciting than THAT happens, I'll let you know. I love and miss you all!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST: EUROPE PICTURES FROM BILLIE SUE, TERE, NOAH, AND MYSELF ARE LOCATED AT...

Wow, sounds like the life! How do I sign up for that? The heat really can get annoying, but come November you will be enjoying yourself while we are just starting the long winter. Nice backyard, it is a rarity to find even something that big in Vegas, and I'm sure Gilbert is about the same. I hope you and Noah settle into a nice routine and life becomes wonderful again. We miss you already and can't wait to see you again.

Oh--I'm so happy that you are finally going to be able to slow down a bit. Even though you think it is fun to do nothing right now, I really can't imagine you being content to do that for long. I'm sure you will be out there teaching dance and finding some new area of interest and entertainment for yourself! I finally took the plunge and rented two movies from redbox -- and they are both still in my purse! Let me know what good movies to see, as I never even know what to get when I stand there and look. Love and miss you -- but the 22nd is not far away! Lovies!

I would love to come and see it in person some time! I can't wait until we are actually able to. Hopefully you'll find something exciting to do to use up your time! Enjoy the cool weather, it will only get so much worse!

Giselly thank you so much for stopping by for a visit. And I am very glad you are able to take it easy there. I really worry about you! I can't wait to see pictures of your new house, as the backyard looks fabulous. Evan tells me everyday that he misses his aunt Giselle, so we are very glad you stopped by for a visit! We always miss you and can't wait to see you soon. Will you be in Kamas on the 4th? I think we will bless Evan that weekend...

Looks great and lush. I am glad that you and Noah are back together and living as husband and wife however I don't think that my idea of commuting is such a bad idea. I do however want to take a vacation there some time. Maybe when it is snowing here and close to 100 there. Wait that was last week. I am sure that we have many things to talk about when you get here, i can't wait!!! Until then keep the updates coming.
