So I think that I have Spring fever...

This might even be a case of "Summer Fever" because I am jonesin' for camping, the pool or even a Popsicle. It snowed and rained again today and even as much fun as I have had this winter, I am ready for 75 degree weather, at the very least. I can't wait to be outside gardening, kayaking, camping or even barbecuing with the neighbors!! So here is a little photo journey down memory lane-- Summer 2007...

Isn't it great that we are given these families that we can have SO much fun with!! I am really lucky to be married to my best friend and have such rockin' kids!! Now if it will just warm up outside...

Ode to my friend...

OK so I know that she's expecting this :-) so here is where I pay homage to the girl that was a fantastic friend, confidant, partner in crime, etc... through my teenage years.
Her name is Jackie and she just moved to Utah from Colorado a year or more ago. We met up for dinner on this past Friday night with she and her husband, Jay. And what more can I say than, "It rocked." We had a great time and it was so good to be together again.
She and Jay just celebrated their "one year" anniversary together, so DJ and I were meeting him for the first time. He is so great! He and DJ are cut out of the same cloth (which is camouflage, of course.) So they talked hunting and other such manly pastimes.
It was fun to hear Jackie laugh again-- she has had some rough times and Jay has helped to put those behind her. For that, I love ya, Jay!
It was fun to reminisce a bit, but mostly catch up on our lives since we have been apart, which has been awhile. I moved away from Colorado in 1994 to finish my schooling. Since then there have been lots of things keeping us from being as close. So it was really fun to get to reconnect a bit. Hopefully we will get to do this again now & then, as our families, jobs, etc will allow.
Good times!!! Here's to you my friend!
