The goings on

Well Hello,

It's been a little while hasn't it. First and foremost Aaron was gone for two weeks on the final leg of the torch run for special olympics. From what I can tell this was a fantastic experience for him. He loved the "job", he loved the people he met, he loved the athletes! WOW thats a lota love. Someone told him they hadn't seen him stop smiling the whole time!! Who out there knows my husband? You know that this is something special. I believe only his family could make him smile that much. He is even going and try to get on the "board." This might become a new passion. Well now thats an empty nest moment for ya :) For my part of this -two weeks is as long as I have ever been on my own in my whole life!! Just between you and me I LOVED IT but its nice to have my hubby back home, yes really. One weekend our son in law Jared was in town. We had a great time. We went and saw the movie Slumdog Millionaire. We both liked it. I like how it showed that you don't have to be a product of your envirnment. It's all about the choices we make. The next night it was dinner and shopping! Almost more fun than going out with my girls, almost :) Anyhoo where was Natalie you ask? (See the " just the facts " post from below) now you know..... Tomorrow its back to work after a four day weekend and I just had two of the four of us in the kitchen call in sick.........YAY thats gonna be a good day

My Monday Creed

Embrace this day with an enthusiastic welcome, no matter how it looks. The covenant with God to which you are true enables you to become enlightened by him, and nothing is impossible for you. I like the last part. I wonder how long it takes before we have progressed enough to realize that??? I have a car and garage door again!! Yay !! Not that I don't appreciate the van, I do. I am so glad it is still running. Elaine and I went and saw the movie New in Town on Friday night. It was cute. I enjoyed the chemistry between Rene Zellewiger(sp?) and Harry Connick Jr. Finally recovered my chairs! Woot The fabric is awesome. If I knew how to take a picture and post it I would. I guess that should be my next blog lesson. Ok gotta run. PS I WILL GO TO THE GYM TODAY :) I wonder if any of my many followers will hold me to that? TEHE And last but not least. Why Arizona Cardinals why?? :(
