The past couple of weeks have been crazy so I've been neglecting my blog. I flew out last weekend for a girls' weekend, had a blast, and will not post any of those photos for good reason. I swear I returned a different person. On the Sunday that I returned I went and saw SATC and left my wallet at the movie theater. All IDs, license, credit cards, cash, etc. I've been living off the cash in Mel and JM's wallets.

The rest of the week was full of end of school parties, a swim meet, JM's pack meeting, my friend Sharon's 40th B-day dinner, a den party, and Warren's brother Michael, his wife Kari, and their 3 kids are visiting from South Dakota. Thursday night we had dinner with them at the Hyatt, we all did the SeaWorld thing Fri. am and they came by here later Friday night. The kids have been so excited to spend time with their cousins. They don't get the opportunity very often.
