Playing Catch-Up

Oh boy, I can't believe we're back. I'm still having some mixed feelings about it. It just seems like every time I visit my mom and family it gets harder to say good-bye. Shouldn't it be getting easier?

I was really hoping to take a week off to recuperate from our trip, but instead we're just jumping back into our regular life like we were never gone! Young Women's and Relief Society activities, a girl's night out later this week, doctor's appointment, catching up on everyone's blogs, grocery shopping, etc. Plus, trying to unpack and get the house back into order. I hope the magic of us being back isn't wearing off on Matt yet because Bauer and I sure make a lot of messes between the two of us!

Now, a list of things that kept (or didn't keep) Matt busy while we were gone:

-Helped his parents with a couple things I asked him to
-Got really good at Guitar Hero
-Hung out with some friends that just moved back into the area (thanks again for taking care of him and making sure he was fed!)
-Painted Bauer's room
-Didn't mow the lawn for about a month and a half (just a slight exaggeration :)
-Discovered a skunk that was possibly residing under our front step (don't worry, it's not there anymore!)
-Went in with his family and got me an awesome early birthday present, but I'm not sure if I'm going to reveal what it is yet...
-Let the cupboards get bare because he hates spending money on food!
-Started going a little crazy and had conversations with the cats
-Worked the the to-do list that I gave him
-And, last but not least, lost some weight! (I'm sure not having any food around helped out with that!)

Anyway, I suppose once I get all my pictures on the computer I'll put a slideshow up here from the last half of our vacation, but right now I just want to go relax and watch some tv...and try out my birthday present....
