Has it really been 20 days?

I'm finally adding a new post to my blog and have missed reading all my friends' blogs! The family and I went to Colorado for a week during spring break and I was already feeling like it had been a long time since I'd gotten caught up. Then when I tried to turn on my computer at 2 am the night we got home, it made this slow, loud, painful sound. It didn't sound good. I tried to reboot it a couple of times, then my husband diagnosed it and informed me it was history.

So luckily, my husband is a genious and rebuilt my computer for me and I'm up and running again with the lastest, greatest computer in the household. I have Windows new operating system, Vista, which uses tabs. I have yet to appreciate that, as I'm a slow learner in these matters. We are such a computer family because of my husband's enthusiasm and professional background. He designs computer chips, therefore, each person in our family has a computer. I'm not sure how or why that is. It's not like everyone in our family owns his or her own set of stainless mixing bowls and Santuko knives, due to my pampering.

Being married to a computer whiz does come in handy. So, now that I have a new computer, I plan to add some photos and journaling of our latest shenanigans. I do appreciate all the comments from friends and family. And want to say a big "THANK YOU" to Kelly for helping me. Thanks, Honey! You're amazing. I'm sure I'll understand all the new bells and whistles eventually.

I have been wondering where you were! Glad your computer is fixed- I would freak out if mine broke down. Plus I am not married to a computer whiz like you, I have to be my own computer whiz!

It feels like it's been ages to me too! Trust me, I was freaking out. I have PC orders that I've been waiting to submit that were only on MY computer!

Funny that you spelled WHIZ like that because when I was about to add my post, Kelly saw it and said, "I thought WHIZ was short for wizard. So then I edited it to spell that way, wiz. What SHOULD it be, Mrs. Newspaper Lady?

Hi Kelly, glad you are back, too! I just checked my dictionary, and whiz means wizard. Doesn't make sense, but there it is. You are lucky to have a computer "whiz" in your home. Neither of us is very good with them, so I have a young friend who comes once a week or so for an hour and helps us. We make lists each week of things to ask him. He has been a lifesaver! Heidi is going to add your blog to my blog list since I read it all the time anyway. Thanks for making contact!

Yeah! Thanks for that answer, Bobbi! When your comment to my blog came, I was reading YOUR blog and then clicked on the link about Stephanie Meyer's book. My daugher will be thrilled to read that too, as she's a huge fan.

I so look forward to catching up on everyone's blogs and am excited that we've "found" each other through Heidi...the BLOG WHIZ!

Okay, now that I look back at the post, I cannot bear to see wiz spelled that way and am going to edit it because it reminds me of the crudely slang meaning of wiz, which I will leave at that.

I'm so behind on my blog and reading everyone else's too. :( I'm really enjoying catching up on your blog this morning! Sheridan is sick today so I'm at home with her and I'm hoping to post a lot while she takes her nap!

San Antonio temple weekend

Here am I (five months pregnant), with Hannah, Kelly, Lindsey, and Christopher, walking out of the San Antonio temple after our new daughter was sealed to us for time and for all eternity during a special, sacred ceremony, this past Saturday afternoon.  We were happy to have a wonderful group of guests in attendance with us, Kelly's two sisters, Debbie and Brenda, my sister, Julie, Kelly's mom and dad, my mom, my good friends Lorraine and Stewart, Carol and Rick, and one person from our ward, my buddy, Sue. Dinner later that night consisted of a feast at the Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas, for some incredible pork ribs, cole slaw, and more. We strolled along the Riverwalk to show our visiting family members one of San Antonio's popular tourist spots.  It was a beautiful, windy day, the Saturday following Thanksgiving, in San Antonio.  We tried to find a corner with less wind to blow in our faces.  More photos of the family.  The family, strolling along th...

Triathlon triumph

Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...
