Still Laughing....

I went to work early this morning, but by 10:00 am, we had no patients and a lot of nothing to do, so our office manager said I could go home.
Lexi was at work and when I came in the kitchen, I could hear that Jordan was in the shower, so i decided to get on the computer here at the kitchen table, which faces the hallway leading back to Jordan's bedroom.
Yes, it happened just like you are imagining it did.
Not knowing that I was home, Jordan came prancing down the hallway...buck naked.
Of course, he screamed...then I laughed ....and haven't really quit laughing since.
Poor Jordan...
I'm not quite sure who needs therapy more...me or Jordan.
Jordan is pretty sure it's him.
I'm pretty sure it's him too.
I found it hilarious.

Simple and Sweet

'Don't cry because it's over.
Smile because it happened.'

I borrowed this from the face book of a friend that just moved to Utah with her family.
They will be missed by so many they have left behind here...
but I LOVED what she posted.
It touched me...
on so many different levels.

Fun family night over at Mike and Kylie's.
Preston is gabbing a mile a minute. Loves to call Kylie by her first name now as she hears Kathryn say it all through the house.
Of course, spending time with his Papa making smoothies and playing was his favorite part of the night. He was entertaining the whole night...
Then Papa held him and rocked him to sleep.
It was nice.

My Fortune Cookie Reads.....

I didn't have time to go home for lunch the other day so I went across the street to the little Chinese Restaurant called Pei Wei.
Lunch was short, sweet and to the point....not the best, but not the worst I've ever had.
But I found my fortune cookie interesting...and hopeful.
It read as follows....
'A dream you have will come true'.
It had no expiration date.
In time....in due time.

Oreo Shakes From the South

I'm not a real Oreo cookie fan...for the exact reason you can see in the pictures.
Lexi started eating an Oreo cookie...and then Jordan said something funny that made her laugh and voila....black teeth.
That, of course, made me crack up, which then showed MY black teeth...and the camera was pulled out.
Mother/Daughter in law from Arkansas!!!
Del and Jordan made Oreo shakes....they were okay...not MY favorite cuz I like a little more chunky. But they were good.

The seed above, started as an asparagus plant Lexi wanted to start. It's actually an avacado seed which she JUST called an 'aguacati' seed....which is CLOSE to how you say it in Spanish...agaucate is the actual word.... The whole day has been like that.
A total confusion of vocabulary, understanding and misunderstanding of everything and anything today.
All of it has made us laugh.

SLACKER!!!!!!

Okay...
I have been so busy the past three weeks that I have failed to take the time to remember it all.
I haven't taken pictures.
I haven't written anything down.
And I haven't remembered.
And I KNOW there were a few things I should have remembered!!! I NEEDED to remember...and now, I can't.
So, I need to slow up a little.
I need to get back to getting my life prioritized and doing the things that are important to me...
Back to walking....every night....
back to losing weight and keeping it off.
Back to spending time with my family - especially Mike and Kylie. I need to MAKE time to be with them.
Back to taking pictures and writing memories down.
Back to my life...and getting er dun!!!!
I've been a slacker...
No more slackin'!!!!

Asparagus instead of avocado...
Pavarotti instead of paparazzi...

One Year Down and Eternity to Go

I was in Utah a year ago attending their wedding.
Now they sit in my kitchen celebrating their one year anniversary.
Lexi made it a special day by making Jordan some cheesecake and chocolate covered strawberries. We made them a steak dinner and invited all the kids over to share and celebrate, then we sent them to the movies.
They say the first year is the hardest....I would tend to disagree. Every year is hard, but worth it when you put your heart into it.
But it sure makes looking forward to eternity a lot more hopeful when you do it with someone you truly love.
I wish Jordan and Lexi every happiness in the world....and the world to come.
