Well I see it's been a long time since I've written anything. I've been really busy actually living real life vs. the virtual world. I've read some crazy things people post online and think,"Why would you ever post that?" So needless to say I'm not very good at keeping track of everything. Juli is keeping me crazy busy with her sophomore schedule. Since I am her taxi this year, we are hooked at the hips...well at the car. I started walking at 6am while she's in seminary. It seemed silly to go home for 20 min only to have to go and pick her up. I do like starting my day ealier but I am tired. She is doing really good in tennis this year and earned her spot as #3 varsity singles. I watch her play in this 100+ degree heat and wonder how she is keeping up with everything. Good thing I like her. My schedule is directly linked to hers. I was really spoiled last year with Chaz taking her everywhere. Next Sept. she should be able to get her license. Chaz is planning to go on his mission about then so she will be able to use his car. It will be weird not having to drive anyone anywhere but in a good way.

Celebrating our 30th Anniversary Jan. 2011

Just thought I'd add a little post...not that anyone else cares but we had the time of our lives in Hawaii. I just love my husband and appreciate him even more. He works so hard at everything. He is a good husband, friend, lover, Dad, Doctor, YM Pres., etc., etc. He is my best friend. I'm so thankful that we had the opportunity to go. We worried about leaving 3 teenagers & 1 young adult home alone but they handled it magnificently. I've always thought my job was to get them all independent of me and it worked. They do like my cooking though. I love to help them with whatever they need but they are all productive members of society and it was very nice not worrying about them. Well...I worried a little. We slept in 'til 10 and sat on a different beach everyday. I think Taylor needed it more than I did. It was such a nice break and so good to remember how much I love that man. People think what do I do for Valentine's Day? Well I like a box of Jr. Mints but really everyday is like Valentines...He does the dishes every day and leads our family in scriptures and prayers every night. He helps me with every single thing I ever get myself into. He really is amazing and I feel loved all the time and I think that's better than getting something once a year on Valentine's Day...I get it every day.
