OK, I'll come out from under my rock!

So since the Big Phat California Wedding, I have taken Buffy the Bat Slayer to Idaho to go to school and jerk a knot in a few heads. Actually this took place about two weeks after the wedding. Anyway,this picture was taken at the infamous hotel with all the theme rooms in Rexburg. That is my mom in the background. My hubby had initially said he'd come, but had business meetings that trumped that, so I got to share this room with my oldest daughter who accompanied us on the infamous Trek to Rexburg. I believe this room was the 'Venice Room'. If this is a honeymoon type hotel, why is there an ironing board but not a closet? It was hard to leave my girl behind, but it's not as tough as saying goodbye to a missionary, so I only cried for 15 minutes. I was fortunate to have my mom,dad and two baby brothers meet us there and we got to spend a few days together with, as Buffy says "The G-ma and the G-pa."

The next fun endeavor was our move into our new home.This home is a dream come true. Closing the week the stock market took historic dives was not a dream, but we made it through. This place is amazing, but I hadn't unpacked thirty boxes when my oldest daughter announces that I have four weeks to unpack because we are having her baby shower here.

Yes, I am going to be a grandma. My granddaughter is due in three weeks. Her name is Alexis and she already has a leopard coat to match her grandma's. I am not sure about this whole granny thing, but I am determined to be the cool grandma that teaches her lots of clever things to pay her mommy back for all the grief she gave me...ha ha! I'm kidding. But seriously...


Meanwhile, back in Idaho, Buffy, who announced at a bridal shower last summer, that she was going to wait until she finishes all four years of school before settling down and marrying...has met her match. Yes, Buffy the Tuffy has found her Prozac. He is wonderful and an RM and Southern. By the look of things, we think she will be eating her words.

Well, that is my life in a boring nutshell. I will have to work on this blog thingy better. Oh, and I am so about going to the movie Amy!!!
