For those of you have noticed that I am a sporadic blogger, I am hoping to turn over a new leaf.  Although no one else really cares that is has been 3 months since my last blog entry, I would like to use this as an opportunity to journal our "perfect" life!  OKAY!  Let's just get that out in the open.....my life is as I would like to say, "perfectly, imperfect!"   As a recovering perfectionist, I have in my old age learned to relish in the fact that imperfection is okay.  Not only is it okay, but it is how we learn to appreciate those perfect moments when they do come.  Life isn't perfect, just full of perfect moments! 

IS THERE REALLY SUCH THING AS A FREE CAT?!



The answer is NO!  In fact, just say NO when your husband and children beg you for any pet.  We've had all types.....hamsters, frogs, dogs and cats!  In a moment of weakness I have said YES and little did I know it is ALMOST like having another child.  If you look closely at Calli's leg (she is a Calico, hence the name Calli) you will see a bright pink cast on her leg.  YES, she broke her leg and YES it cost more money than fixing my own child's leg.   How adorable!  Have you ever seen such a little cast?  Well, just remember the next time you get offered a "free" pet of any kind that nothing is ever "free!"  However, I do have to admit, I have grown to love our new  furry little friends!  (YES, we have two.  Talan did not want Calli to be lonely so we also adopted her brother, SERIOUSLY!)  For those of you out there that have said NO to a pet and would like to have visitation rights to ours,  come over any time.  It's like being a grandparent...let them play with ours and then give them back when they're are all done!  

Girl's Trip

A little reunion with some amazing friends from high school - there are 8 of us who have been getting together every year since graduation (1991)!   It is always a blast to see each and catch up.  What a blessing good friends are!


If you've got it you've got it!


Jodi hosted our weekend get-away at her cabin!  BEAUTIFUL


Me, Heather and Jodi


We look a little too relaxed and happy, don't we?!  (Jodi & Tracey)


IT'S TIME TO GO HOME TO REALITY!  It was an amazing 3 days.  Nicole Rudd was also there but left before we could get a picture, she was smarter than the rest of us!  You would have thought we were camping by looking at the pictures!   All we did all weekend was eat, sleep and talk....all my favorite things!
