way behind in the life of my blog

Well....I clicked over to my own blog for a change and found that it has been longer than I remembered since I had visited here. I can't believe that life has zoomed by so quickly and somehow left me holding on for all I am worth!

The things I promised to update about a few posts ago are 'old news' by now, and I am not sure what the point in posting it all would be.

But, I will share a few Snoopy the Musical photos as it was so much fun for this truly INTROVERTED mom to watch her truly EXTROVERT actor of a son sing, dance and "become" Snoopy!

Snoopy (aka Grant)

The Cast...singing the finale

Grant and his biggest fan....Devin.

The best MAN won

State of my Life

I have been over here at my computer desk dutifully working on homework for the past 3 hours. My brain and my bottom are tired, but for different reasons!

I have so many things that I could share with you, my friends, I just don't know where to start.

I have been very blessed lately. I have been led by the Spirit and I have been supported in decisions I have made about my life. I am making a huge move in my career and I am scared to death, yet thrilled for the new adventure.

I only have 2 more classes in Grad School. Can you say "FINALLY?"

My eldest son learned about the power of prayer and of the Priesthood. He embodied Snoopy. I was so proud (pictures later)

My youngest son went away for 24 hours with his school group to CA to play his violin at the Music in the Park festival. He had a blast and I didn't worry for the entire 24 hours.....another miracle! (sorry, no pictures)

My husband is a good man. He is patient and he is kind. He still likes me and we celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. (again, sorry, no pictures)

My dogs are cute. But, we all knew that! (silly me)

My parents are funny - (my mom has no wrinkles to speak of at 73...this is for LaRae) I do have wrinkles at 42. I was thinking of Laurie Koelliker- she is 52 and looks 32...how does she do that? (I digress....)

I will post photos, updates and follow through on these teasers.....soon.

I promise.

Oh, and I like David Cook....for the WIN!! (but I like Top Chef better!!)

Say good night Gracie. Good Night.

Happy 14th Devin

Devin and his favorite gift from his Grandpa....Jelly Beans!

My 'baby' is now 14!! He was ordained a teacher yesterday. He looked so tall and grown up next to our Bishop on the stand. I remember when he was 8 and had been baptised ~ he refused to go on the stand as he was too shy! He has grown up a lot since then. He isn't so shy anymore. Enjoy a few pictures of his day. We made him wait until after Church at 4 pm to open his presents. He was quite patient, until Church ended and then he said in the lobby, quite loudly, "Let's Roll!! There are presents waiting for me to rip thme open!"

That is our little man Devin...so glad he is mine!
