Lost and Gone Forever - May Update

I hope not to be gone forever, but it sure has been a long time. So, here's the deal. I have been spending most of my free time reading and doing exercise. My triathlon is in a week, and after that, I should have some more free time. As I was reading blogs today, I realized that my blog desperately needs an update (and I knew that), but now it is imperative. I vow to update my blog by the end of the month (hopefully if it is in writing, I'll do it).

Here's some recap as to what has happened the last few weeks. We drove to Price the last Sunday in May so that Mike's brother Steve could bless their baby Franky. It was Mike's mom's birthday the day before, and so we spent a little time over at her house as well wishing her a happy birthday and letting the kids play with cousins. (Note, Mike's brother Steve does not live in Price, they blessed the baby in Crystal's parents ward and did the luncheon at Crystal's parents home).

Somebody was hungry

I got together with my girl friends to celebrate Melinda's birthday. We had planned to watch a movie, but instead spent the night chatting.

Dad came up for a job interview. I didn't see him, but talked to him. He didn't get the job. Mom just doesn't think it is time for them to leave St. George yet.

I ran the ward 5k last Saturday. I won the girls division (but there were only two of us). But I was quite happy with my time of 26:46. Better than when I ran the Mapleton 5k two years ago.

On Saturday, Mike's niece, Dori, got baptized. Mike had to work and the baptism was at 5:00 in Cedar City, so I wasn't very willing to drive the kids there alone. I also felt obligated to be to church on Sunday and all together it just didn't fit the schedule well. Sorry Dori.

I have been reading "His Dark Materials" Series, the Golden Compass Books. It was really quite enjoyable. It is very much a thinking book, and there are lots of things I haven't sorted out, but I quite enjoyed it. And for the record it is not Anti-God, at least that's not the way I see it.


In the last few weeks we've been able to watch a couple of video's including Dan in Real Life, and Juno. And on Saturday we had a date night. It didn't go as planned, Mike worked 10 hours that day, and we ate dinner in the car on the way to the theater, and Mike went back to work after the movie was done at 10:00. But we did get to see a movie in the theater. We saw Iron Man and I quite enjoyed it.

Somewhere else in there, I did Bunco one night and took Ashton and Emma on Ashton's Preschool field trip (hopefully I'll do a quick blog).

Anyway, life is good, life is fine, life is busy. I've just been busy living.
