Wow! I have really neglected my blog. Like, a lot. Life just got in the way a little bit, you know? Oh well, no worries. I'm back now! And this time, I'm going to make it a point to post every day. Even if it's just, "Hai! How are yooz doing?"
It's been over 2 months since I last posted and quite a bit has gone on. First, we celebrated Mother's Day and that was such a beautiful day. Then, on May 17, my youngest sister turned 17. Ugh, she's getting closer to being "legal" and growing up which means she's no longer an actual child. Which, in turn, means that my babies are getting older, which means they will soon be adults, which turns into finding someone to marry and spend the rest of their life with, then having kids which means I turn into a grandma, and then the grandkids grow up, and it's all just happening too fast!
*SLAP*
Get ahold of yourself woman!
Sorry, my imagination ran away for a minute there. Won't happen again. At least, not in this post.
Anyhow.
So my husband and I celebrated 10 years of blissful (yes, truly blissful) marriage to each other on May 26. We had an absolutely beautiful vow renewal in Flagstaff, Az and it just so happened to be with the priest that married us 10 years ago. It was lovely and dinner at Pasto was fabulous. The food was delectable and the cake was out of this world! For being a chain, Bashas bakery department actually did a great job on our custom cake. Thanks again Bashas!
10 days later, on June 6, I turned 29! For the first time ever in my life, I was utterly and completely sick to my stomach on my birthday. And no, it wasn't because I was in my last year of my 20's. I actually got really, really sick. We did have an amazing dinner planned at one of the most yummy restaurants, but then my stomach decided I'd had enough fun for one day (at noon, mind you) and called it quits for me. I tried to bear through it, but my tums was NOT having it. So no birthday celebration for me. I even had this sweet dress that I purchased specifically for my birthday. It's hot pink on top, and black tulle-type material on the bottom. Very 80's. Sadly, I have not yet rescheduled my birthday dinner, and I'm not quite sure when I'll get around to it...
Next item on the list, Father's Day! That was a pretty good day and I think my husband thoroughly enjoyed himself, and our boys were quite sweet to him that day. He got a few new DVD's and he was quite pleased.
We also went to Tempe Improv and got to see one of my favorite comedians/actors - Michael McDonald from Mad TV! He was HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!
We also booked our trip to Vegas! We are especially excited, for, you see, we have not had hubs/wife time for over a year. Prior to March 2009, we had hubs/wife time (sans kiddos) at least 6-8 times a year. You can't even begin to imagine how exited we are for this! We love our kiddos, and to continue to be good parents and role models, we need to recharge ourselves. So to do that, we go and throw money away at impossible games, watch ridiculously expensive shows, and eat tons of delicious, never-ending buffet food at low prices. Food prices make up for the money everyone's lost. They figure if they take everyone's money, they should at least price some buffets so people can afford to eat. :)
Well, I think that's about it. I've caught you all up on my life the last two months or so. I mean, I didn't tell you everthing that happened, but then, where would the mystery be?
Oh! I almost forgot! My bestest friend in the entire wide world (the other half of my brain, really) graduated from ASU and is now certified to teach your youngsters! She is going to make an amazing teacher and whichever school ends up hiring her will have gotten themselves a gem.
