Trying to Breathe...

So we had a son return from his Idaho-Boise mission..in glory. For one glorious month my entire family was home. One month because Buffy the Bat Slayer married *the Colonel and now they are back in school, out in Idaho. Why does it have to be so far away?
But the homecoming was wonderful. I love, love, love hearing my son's laughter in the house again. He has the kind of laugh that comes from deep down, and it makes everyone else laugh because there is so much joy in it.



The wedding. Amazing. My daughter was without a doubt the most beautiful bride there ever was. Her hubby is a cutie too, thus ensuring the grandchildren of said couple will not be made fun of by the ward youth. If you don't know about that deal, let me tell you, the youth make fun of awkward looking babies in the ward. The highest honor is to have "the cutest" baby in the ward because the youth say so, it must be so.

Now I am trying once again to put my house in order. I don't know if that is ever going to happen. After all, Heckle and Jeckel are my two youngest sons and they can make a mess out of a single paper towel and a clipped toenail.

*He's the Colonel because he's from Kentucky.

Somebody's Gonna Have to Eat Her Words

Buffy the Bat Slayer is, in about one month, going to have to eat her words. For information on Buffy, please see the November 2008 post.

So anyway, we are once again planning a wedding. She is indeed marrying her Southern Gentleman. A fine young man whom we all love. Unfortunately they will return to Idaho to finish their education. This is unfortunate because I wish they could finish it here. But that's OK. They'll be back. He likes it here and for that I am so grateful.

But before this momentous event happens, my son returns from his Idaho-Boise mission, hopefully, in glory. :) For information on that son, see the September 2007 post.

Life is good. My new house is beautiful.I am still unpacking boxes, but who cares. I'll take boxes jammed in a closet here, verses anywhere else. I still stalk Target for my decor. Hey, you can't take the trailer chic out of this girl. Someday I might even post some pictures of my home sweet home. And for all my friends who remember me when I was trailer trash, thanks for hanging in there with me. :) Now where do I put that kitty cat chair?

I have a very cute granddaughter. She is growing so fast, and is a joy to have around. Every time she is over here, I whisper in her ear, "You love GiGi best!" I am GiGi and I believe in brain washing.I buy her all these cute dresses that she will probably never wear, but I enjoy buying them and playing dress up anyway. It ticks her mom off, but what do I care? I am having fun! That is my job!

Most interesting thing happening around here besides weddings and homecomings? Um, my son-in-law saw a bobcat in the woods next to the house yesterday. Not deep in the woods, but just barely in the woods.

Where is my Bat Slayer when I need her???
