Things I'm looking forward to

Hi Everybody,
It's been awhile, huh? But I am going to try again.
Today, I got to do something fun. Okay, a few things really. You have to live in Vail to know that if you make the drive into Tucson, you really are going to do more than one thing. I started off my day buying airline tickets so I can go to BYU's Women's Conference. Boy is that exciting. I never thought I'd go back there and it's been long enough since the first time, that it hardly seems real. Did I go to BYU? There aren't many people around who could readily attest to that fact. But I am going back. And while it will be a highly spiritual experience and I for sure will get to go to some great classes, I am mostly excited to catch up with some friends from Idaho. I couldn't have been more welcomed here in Arizona, but I sure miss my Idaho friends! I'm not usually a cryer, but just thinking about hugging my friends again makes me tear up. I hope to laugh, and cry, eat, pray and love with them. That's sounds like a good book title ;)

Then I discovered DSW. I don't exactly know what the letters stand for, but it's a shoe store. A really big shoe store! I went looking for shoes for my little guy, who this weekend will be sixteen months old and still isn't walking! Some people say shoes help, some think bare foot is better for learning to walk. I have decided that at sixteen months, anything is worth a shot. I love having late walkers. Don't get me wrong. The little munchkins stay out of trouble longer. But this is ridiculous. And the Pediatrician alluded to the idea of occupational therapy. While OT can be so helpful, it is also time consuming. And, well, I already don't get enough done due to my half-day schedule and living so far from everything. Back to the store though. I didn't see a single kid shoe there. Just men and women's shoes. And truthfully, it's hardly worth mentioning the men's section. Anyway, I didn't think there would be much to tempt me, since I'm not a fashionista or anything. But since arriving in AZ, I think I have given up improving on my looks, and have just gone for accessorizing. I like purses now. And jewelry (though I can't afford the real stuff.) And I guess shoes. Anyway, my kids don't have any news shoes, but I do :) So today, I am happy. Until the hubbie finds out. I need to stink up two pairs of shoes in about three hours. And THAT is why I had all boys (ha ha). They aren't here right now,dang it.

Okay, so this post is getting long and probably boring for you. But the shoes are super cute. And Perry was super funny. He pulled out any shoe that was pink or sparkly for me to try on. "You want this one, mommy?" I guess he has girls figured out already in his mind.

Then just because somebody on Facebook mentioned the Mormon Cocaine being In 'N Out burger, I had to stop. That was so awesome. I just wish I had been doing that all with friends. I miss you all and any one of you would have made today even better. I'm reading this post and thinking I'm not quite back to myself yet, but I'm trying. Love you all!

I so totally wish I could help relive those BYU days! I also miss shopping with you, you got me to buy things I would normally never wear. Ah well, maybe one day when we've made our millions *sigh*.
