Party in Logan

Denece asked me a few weeks ago if every day was a party for me.  I told her that I try to make everyday a party and so she invited me to Logan. (I need to go back in a month or so when the leaves change...she remembered that I love that canyon in the fall)  We were going to try to get facials but it's not very easy for me to play on Saturdays unless it's with my family and so we settled for lunch. (Denece doesn't work on Saturday) Denece took off at noon and we Partied. (wink) We went to Beehive Grill and had a really yummy lunch and a wonderful conversation.  Denece told the waitress that I had been her bridesmaid and even though her marriage hadn't lasted our friendship had.  We met at CeCe's Day Care (around 1978) and have been friends ever since.

I admire Denece so much.  She has not had an easy life but has pushed forward and has a good life now.  Denece is talented and has a knack for making things cozy.  Her cute little house is so inviting and I love it.  Denece is kind and a very good person.  She is a great friend.

I'm glad that we could spend the day together.  After lunch we went shopping and then we sat in her cute little car and talked some more.  I am thankful for Denece!

Only Three more Years of School

I shouldn't be so happy maybe but I am so happy that we are almost done sending these two off to school.  I love these two and I'm glad that they actually enjoy school.  I'm sure it's because of their friends and being busy.  I know it's not about learning and studying...in fact.....that is the reason I am counting down.  I never liked doing my homework and I have had to help a ton with these two over that years and quite frankly...I'm exhausted.  I had a friend ask me the other day if I was still as Brilliant as I was through School.  I laughed out loud.  I don't feel brilliant at all these days.

Last year was easier as far as homework went and I am hoping it will be these last few years too.  I want my kids to trust themselves and know that they can do the things required of them....I do see them trying harder.

I think these two are cute.  They make me smile and are really good kids.  They try to please Larry and I and don't demand much.  (most of the time)

I like being back on a schedule.  I love our summers together and this summer was really fun and I enjoyed these two a lot but I am always excited to get a schedule going again.  That's the part that Kimleighel doesn't like.  She doesn't like having to get up early....I like it.  Get up, get ready, and go!  I seem to accomplish more when we get up and go early.  I also like that we read our scriptures together and have family prayer together during the school year.  We started off this summer again doing it because I told Larry I thought we should but for some reason it doesn't last in the summer.  (not sure why since Larry is up for work and Jared is up feeding the cows.....Lucifer?)

Anyway I'm happy and excited for another school year to come and go.  I think these two will really enjoy this year.  I know Kimleighel has a lot of fun classes that develop her talents.  I think Jared plans on doing track again which was super good for him because he is super good at it.  I hope they have fun.  I hope they make good friends.  I hope they make good memories.  I hope they learn a lot.  I hope that they enjoy this time of their life!
