A List (no pictures, just me rambling)

Hi reader, 
Just so you know we are still here.  Here are a few things we have done and things I have learned lately,

1. I was in charge of Valentines this year (yes we take turns).  I planned my valentine's favorite dinner, desert, even pulled out the margarita glasses, you know for our pomegranate juice.  I thought it turned out nice even if I do say so myself.

2. Don't cook spinach and brownies on the same day, the smell just doesn't entice anything (note: this wasn't on the aforementioned V day).

3. 10 hour work day = 12 hours of Jared gone = 1 tired Karma.  Yes, J has been working long hours, and it is hard for me.  Like any day some are better than others, but the house gets cleaned more often and I think Evie has had a bath every night this week.

4. Had each of the boys make catapults for scouts tonight.  Pretty sure they loved it.  Pretty sure we will never do that again.

5. The month of May. May seems to always be a busy month for us.
       May 2009: Move, Finals week in school,  Vacation in France
       May 2010: Move again, a new town this time, Finals week in  school, Evie born, new job, Graduation 
       May 2011: Moving??? (I'll let you know when I know), Evie's1st birthday, Vacation in ..... Boise, Wicked here I come :)

6.  Bittersweet. Currently my description of being a parent. How can something be so tiring and so exhilarating, so emotionally exhausting and so rewarding, so hard yet so fulfilling, joyful, happy?

7. IT'S FRIDAY = WEEKEND  :) :)  (two smiley faces).  Have a good one.
