… and nobody ever told us that we would be doing chores during nap time, as N pointed out this morning. We did dishes, fed and watered the animals, hung the laundry to dry, stuffed cloth diapers and ironed a few of N’s dress shirts while Everly slept for an hour. Nobody can ever really […]

Officially, sort of back to work? Perhaps.
I am not dead, just blog slacking. Big surprise huh? Yesterday was the start of my back to work adventure: teaching colorguard with a local marching band. It’s my super part time work that I am way passionate about. I’ve always been able to handle the rehearsal schedules and the long hours outdoors but combining […]
Count down 8 days to go…
Today is our going away party/ potluck. N is making a pasta salad from scratch and I am making pioneer woman’s cinnamon rolls from scratch, mmmm. We are going to eat, drink and hang out with people, this is our last chance to before we leave Arizona. Choreographing routines and working band camps has ended […]
Count down, 12 days to go!
N is back home from Peach Springs, he was sent out there to cover some breaking news yesterday. I guess there was lots of flooding out that way that really caused some issues for tourists and residents. Today he will be covering a John McCain appearance in Flagstaff. Dispite the station being shut down he […]
Am I crazy? Probably!
First I should update you all on how the weekend of N’s work parties went huh? The station closing down party was sad and weird at the same time. We said goodbye to many really great people and were also creeped out by others. Channel 2 is officially off the air and now N is […]
Something other than moving to report!
Today I got a break from the usual packing, sorting and inventorying. I stopped by my old high school group’s clinic and helped out a bit, got to exercise and spend some time doing fun stuff this afternoon and I got a break from the daily grind of moving preparation so that was nice. N […]

Whew, I am beat and it is only the first day!
I spent yesterday afternoon and evening working the first day of the NAU Auxiliary Camp. It was enjoyable and it went well but being out in the sun and wind for 6 hours takes it out of you. When I got home I just wanted to put on my PJ’s and curl up on the […]

I am home, woho!
Last night we got back to town at 1am. Our time on the party bus officially had ended! It was an interesting time. The party bus was so cool but not conductive to an 8 hour drive, things were a bit tight and uncomfortable but it made for some great memories. We had a great […]
Heading home! Boy I am pooped!
After spending 12 hours in Disneyland yesterday I am just not motivated to do anything today! Unfortunately we are heading back to Disneyland for the band kids performance and then we will have 4 hours for shopping or ride riding before we load our bus and head home. We road to California in this tricked […]

Today I have after school practice with my winterguard students, during the practice we are heading over to the local charter school to do a dress rehearsal for their talent show (that we are performing in […]
