Cancer-free

I just found out that my OTR (Olympic Torch Relay) husband Bill, via his blog at http://lymphnotes.blogspot.com/, is CANCER-FREE. I can't stop smiling and want to tell everyone how lucky we are that we live in a world with Bill in it. He kept me sane visiting 20-something countries with my p.i.t.a.'s, has the most amazing sense of humor (see photo below taken during the year of chemo), and was a constant comfort to have buckled in the seats behind me. Despite his inability to know where the stage ends...maybe he just liked the attention that facial laceration & stitches bring...he is my S U P E R S T A R! CONGRATULATIONS, husband!!! I can't wait to see what's next for you.

can't....stop.....laughing!!!!!

Happy Birthday baby sister!

Happy belated Birthday, Jessica!!!!!

Words can not even begin to express how lucky I am to have a sister who is as talented and generous and gorgeous and loving as my Jessica-bean. A 16 year wait for a sister like this was worth it! I LOVE YOU BEAN!

One of the many things I shared with my baby sister was taking her to her first rock concert! I know, BSB & N'SYNC aren't all that rock-ish but she was, what, 10? They rocked for her. I wanted to make sure she was able to knock if off her list early. Jessica & I thoroughly enjoyed these two raucous concerts (I can't forget to note that jordan joined us for BSB and swooned along with her). Fellow concert-goers asked if my "daughter" was having a good time. I guess when you have 16 years between you & your sister, you can expect that...at least in Utah. It was pretty cool to spend time with her & treat her to something she really wanted.

Country concert, next? Maybe a little Tim? xoxo

labor day weekend get away

Sleeping in, hiking, fishing, humming birds, lunching by the waterfall, laughing, napping, building fires, making meals, watching it snow...everything a long weekend at the first of September should include. Except the snow, that can go away until November.
