looking back, looking ahead

I told Tyler we'd had too many lame weekends lately,

so he took us to Devil's Den Saturday for a hike and picnic.

I was grateful to be able to go hiking, and wasn't the least bit sore afterwards :-)

There were a few moments, however, 

during

the hike,

when I was rather nervous

and more than once thought, 'this is why it's best I don't go along on these trips'.

My children are fairly daring.

I don't want to be the mom who is always saying, "Be careful!"

So I don't.

But I had to walk away a few times...

In spite of the imagined near-death's,

it was a really nice weekend.

Thanks, Love.

I'm not following my prescribed schedule for my Super Secret Commissioned Project,

but still, I am making good progress
and I'm right on track. (I think.)

I have been so, so tired lately,

(No - I'm not pregnant ;-)

and have often had to go back to bed after seeing Tyler off in the mornings.

I hate that!

But I am thankful Brandon holds down the fort for me.

I was having the "What is wrong with me?!" conversation with myself,

when I remembered that the body needs extra sleep to repair itself.

So maybe I am finally healing??

That's what I'm going with...

There is a quilt show in the Fort  this weekend,

so I think I'm going to run over there for a few hours tomorrow.
After that, it's Taco Night.

Also this weekend,

I'm going to my annual Razorback game Saturday.

Siri tells me the weather is going to be bad. Rain.

So you know I am really excited about that. (gag)

I think the only thing worse than being hot at a football game,

is being wet

at a football game.

Basketball is a much better sport.

We try to have a family get together with my mom and siblings in the fall,

We shoot skeet (I think that's the correct way to say it)

have a bonfire,

eat chili with tons of add-in/fixin's

and catch up with each other

since it's usually been Easter since we were together last,

so that needs to get on the calendar real quick like.

For my birthday,

Tyler bought me a ticket.

A ticket to California!!

To go see my boy and his girl!!!

Now that, I really am super excited about!

To make it even better,

Tyler is taking the week off to spend with the kids,

so they'll be having their own fun here

and I won't have to worry about them one bit.

(Those rocks!

 How cool is that?

We found them that way, and added a few stacks of our own, too.)
