I’m not even sure if anyone is reading this anymore. I did however get an irate phone call from my mother telling me that she is expecting an update…even though I usually talk to her multiple times a day…and tell her everything I’m thinking!!! (Believe it or not, those of you who don’t have the pleasure of frequent conversations with me…it’s not any different than my blog. Yes, I really do talk like this…and I really do rant about the stupid things that I post and my mom, Cecilia and Bettie can attest to this!)
It’s been a long time, so I’m just going to update you on some of the strange things I’ve observed lately. This morning I was held up in traffic because there was a coyote in the road! I was going to say that he was painting a big ACME target but then that would be a giant exaggeration (I don’t want to be known as the girl who cried coyote!). Now, I don’t live in the middle of nowhere…we have a Walmart for heaven’s sakes! Okay, so maybe having a Walmart isn’t the mark of urban life, but you’d think that there wouldn’t be wildlife wreaking havoc on my commute!
I did get to spend mother’s day with my mom and dad which was pretty great (even if most of the time was spent in the car). We met them in Albuquerque on Friday night and took my mom to dinner and a movie (my dad went and had dinner with his mom). Saturday I went to the temple with my mom. That was a very cool experience and one of the highlights of my weekend. It was pretty awesome to be there with my mom and to be able to think about the eternal nature of our families. I’m grateful to know that no matter what happens in this life, if we choose the right we can be together forever. Afterward we did a little shopping and headed out to Gallup. On Saturday afternoon my cousin Tyler was baptized and I had the honor of speaking at the service. It was a really spiritually uplifting day for me. Many of my cousins and their families along with aunts and uncles and my grandma were all there. It had been a long time since I’d seen many of them and it was a lot of fun.
I have been enjoying the weather we have been experiencing. I don’t know about where you are, but it has been shorts and flip-flop weather which I love!! It makes me excited for summer and wish that I was a kid again. I would love it even more if I knew how to set up the air conditioner and didn’t have to melt in the house at night! Speaking of melting houses, my brother and sister-in-law almost lost their home when their landlord started his kitchen on fire on Mother’s Day (they live in a basement apartment and their landlord lives above them)!!! Thankfully everyone was safe and the home was saved! It will be a pain for them with the smoke damage but luckily it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. They’ve had a lot of close calls this year but the Lord has definitely watched out for them and everything continues to work out.
So I hope you had a great Mother’s Day too!

Oh you are so sweet I love you so much, I too had a great day in the temple with you I wish every one could be there and feel the spirit from going to the temple.As a mother of grown children there isn't any thing better then the time you get to talk to or even better be with your children. I love you all. Mom
Well, well, well! I was wondering when you were going to get around to talking about me! And it only took a house fire on a holiday to do it. Just kidding, but to let everyone know, we are safe and I think Annie is ready to join the fire department now. All she needs is some fire retardant P.J's and a hose and she can really go far.
