New Adventures in St. George

We found some new favorites in St. George this last weekend. As many times as we've been down there you'd think we've done just about everything, well, not even close we've come to realize. This trip to St. George was a blast, not that the others aren't but we were able to bring Dave's whole family (minus Elder Michael Price) down this time. One of the new favorites is the Dixie Boulder Park. It's right where the big white Dixie is painted on the red rock down there. As you can see, that is where all our pics of the trip come from, so you know we had a good time! We spent most of the weekend outdoors and playing in the pool. The little munchkins loved it and shed tears when they had to leave "George House" as our nephew Wells called it. Don't worry guys, we'll go again if it kills us!!! Thanks for all the fun!

Lucky

In light of the holiday, here is one of the many reasons I am so lucky...

So last night was one of the worst nights at Goodwood and that is saying a lot because I've had a lot of bad nights lately. I've been thinking lately that I am about as burnt out as they come for serving. I've been serving for 5 years! I've served at 4 different restaurants over those 5 years. Smoky's being the longest of 3 and now Goodwood is my second longest being almost a year. Well the last 3 months Dave has been by my side and he now gets to see what I used to come home complaining his ear off about first hand. Don't get me wrong, there are some moments I love it for many different reasons, but lately I've just had the burnt-out-bug I think and last night was one of those times where it bit me in the butt and I just wanted to scream. So anyway, I came home to a very loving and understanding man (which I already knew he was but he surpasses what I thought I knew each and everyday).

A bouquet of flowers and Twix (one of my faves-me and caramel are buds)

These were waiting for me when I walked in... along with a full body massage! I am one lucky women!

Homeowners Anniversary

This is the first picture we took of the place. It was the day we found out they accepted our offer so we had to drive by it. We were so excited!

I can't believe it's been a whole year! A year ago yesterday we were configuring all our belongings on a couple of borrowed trailers and a truck to haul to Riverdale from many different places that they were stored. It has been such a great first year as homeowners! We love it! We have made so many great memories already in it. It's come a long way with all of the improvements we've done but there are still more to come! Hopefully we'll have the energy to do them this year. We got a little burnt out from all that we did at the beginning. This spring I will also be starting my own garden! I'm a little worried because I've never done it and I don't know much about them but it will be a great learning experience and I am way excited for all the yummy vegetables I will be growing!!!
