This is the theme for my life right now. N O T R E A D Y. I'll tell you what I'm not ready for:
1) I am not ready for girls chasing boys at recess agh!
2) I am not ready for this new semester of online classes. Just can't get into it and I've still got a
an entire YEAR before I'm done!
3) I was not ready to attend the temple when I had the perfect chance to go. Night before, I
discovered my recommend had expired 3 months prior!
4) I am not ready to "run", (walk briskly with a short-lived jog here and there - that should
count, too!), my first official race. It's called The Sole Burner for the American Cancer
Society in Appleton. It's a 5k. I love saying 5k. It sounds more impressive than 3.1 miles.
Anyway, it's on Saturday- May 7th and it is more than safe to say, "Not ready".
Getting excited to have my sis coming next month to help me wrap my head around things and dare I say it, catch up?!
My mom, dad, sister and niece got to come out and spend about a week with us. It usually ends up being a once a year kind of thing, (they come here or we go there, which is much to far in between visits for me and the kids, but Jeff manages fine). :) This visit, the weather was terrible. Cold and nearly nonstop rain! We did some fun and memorable things nonetheless. Mom made some pretty flower planters for me, Dad read the rest of Will's chapter book out loud to him which completely melted my heart-so sweet!-, we played in the humongous rain puddles, made jewelry with "Grandma", made a shopping trip to Green Bay that resulted in Grandma buying each girl a Bath and Body lotion and Will made out with a new pair of flip flops and a set of chop sticks. (He had a conversation all about chop sticks with my dad one night at dinner. Dad served his mission in Taiwan and has some experience with them. :) ) We played some Just Dance 2, went to Manitowoc one day, ate at the Woodland and just enjoyed being with each other. My mom and brother get to come out again briefly in August to bring my niece back, so I look forward to another visit from part of my family! Yeah!
