Hey, I've REALLY been missing this whole blogging thing, but apparently there are a few things that are really important to me that were higher on my list! If you haven't given up on me, I hope you're still checking with me now and then and keeping in contact, even if I've been MIA! Here's a few highlights from the past couple of blog-less months:
1) School started! All of my children are now in school, so what does that leave me? Well, smart moms would enjoy this quiet time to catch up on housework, renew hobbies that have been put on the back burner, etc. I guess I'm not a smart mom...I decided to go back into the work force. I am now working full time as a secretary at the elementary school...hmmm...750 kids+1500 parents+45 faculty members=1 crazy office chic! I have a greater appreciation for administrators and teachers, I tell you!
2) Church callings! You know, if anyone ever tells you that being the Primary President is much easier the second time around, don't believe them. Oh, and if anyone ever tells you that running a Primary with 50 kids is easier than running a primary with 180 kids, don't believe them. But if anyone ever tells you that Primary is the BEST place to be, believe them!
3) Temple Celebration! Wow! What a crazy, but amazing time this has been! I was a counselor in the Young Women program before this Primary calling and goodness gracious, what an awesome but busy time it was getting ready for the Twin Falls Temple Youth Celebration! If any of you have experienced one of these, you know how time consuming but amazing it is! The Open House was amazing! Brian and I were able to serve as ushers, inside the temple, during this time and Briana (who is now a YW!) was able to serve in the temple too, putting footlets on those who came through. President Monson, President Eyring and Elder Cook came for the Youth Celebration and for the Dedication! It was fantastic! And we now have a temple in our midst! Yippee!
4) Growing Girls! Yes, that's right...I'm officially OLD! My oldest baby is now a Young Woman and in Junior High, my middlest baby is dashing through 4th grade, and my youngest baby is now in school! Oh, that reminds me...I haven't posted from Briana's birthday! It was in July! Crap!
Well, that's just a quick summary of the past month or two, so hopefully I'll "get bloggin'" again! Just so you know, I really DO check your blogs weekly, I just haven't taken the time to post my own! I swear...I saw all the awesome pictures on my sisters blogs from our family reunion...I saw that retarded picture on Catrina's blog from our High School days...I read the frustrating car problems on Karen's blog...I saw that Angela had moved oversees to take on the Philippines...I see that my cousin's blog is now private and I can't get on it...see! I do check yours, and now I'll go and check them for this week! Adios! Hope you haven't given up on me!

So glad you are back! Your girls are so grown up. Sounds like you have a busy life now. Glad you are doing well.
Yay, sis! I just saw that you and Gup both posted today!!! I know how busy you are, but thanks for keeping me up on your life. Your comment on Primary is about the sweetest thing I've ever read. Now I have guilt over my bad feelings about primary today.. well at least about the cub scout part of it. I will quit being a baby.. Welcome back!!
It's about time. Sorry, but busy life is no excuse :) HAHAHA! Missed having you at our girl's night in Logan. Maybe one of these days you can come again!
Finally new posts!! How can I blogstalk my friends and family when they don't post anything new?!?!?!? You really aren't old enough to have a daughter in Junior High. There must be some mistake!
Time flyes when you are having fun!But I am so glad you are back to the blogging world.We have missed you! Welcome Back!
P.S. I go back to work next week.I don't know if I am ready for it.Doing the single mom thing again.Because Rory is gone agin.
I am glad your still alive. Sounds like things are going pretty well for you.
Yay for Primary! I'm the Secretary and so I get to see first-hand HOW busy your calling is. I can't believe this is the second time you've been called.....maybe you're living a little TOO righteously. :)
Your girls are darling!
Geez- what could be more important than bloging??? Primary Pres-huh? I think all Primary Pres. should go straight to heaven. Really- I think it is probably one of the hardest callings. (You're over so much.) Good luck with that. I can't wait for our dedication. Our primary has been earning money to put grantie benches outside our church so we can all use them to look at the temple across the street.I may be calling you for ideas on your youth celebration. Ok-I'll quit talking.. SYL-LOL
Karmencita! glad to have you back. It's hard to stay caught up with regular life going on... and my oldest baby is a SENIOR...(who's the old lady now?) luv you lots!
How on earth do you DO IT? I can't get homework done at night without just having cold cereal for dinner to make it easier... & then I also can't get myself dressed before noon on school days. How do you get it all done AND work full time? You guys amaze me!
Guess what concert I almost went to last night? Due West! Our friends called & invited us. They had no idea we even knew who they were. Imgaine their surprise when I told them my little sister DEAR JOHN'D the lead singer!
(Brian, don't you even fret! We love you, our Blond Tom Cruise!)
I have been checking your blog all the time too, glad you are back. :) I know life can get really crazy, I know this for a fact! :)
It is totally hard to keep up with blogging. By the way, I agree, Primary is the best.
Karmen, I tried to pop over to see the "retarded", picture on Catrina's blog, but it is a private blog. Bummer.
I'm glad to hear you are alive and kicking. You sound incredibly busy. Of course things are much more important than blogging. That is my reasoning for when I don't get to mine very often. It is nice you have been able to catch us up with things a bit.
I wish I could come and visit and take some of your harvest home! It all looks so beautiful and delicious!
