Trip away

The last time Lee and I had a weekend away just the two of us was four or five years ago.  My parents use to watch the kids once or twice a year.  But then my dad got sick and died and we had two more kids and it was too much for my mom.  It was a good trip although We did run 13.1 miles way too early Saturday morning.  .  We laughed I cried we discussed money, we ate out, we shopped we saw some family and then we came home.  We were gone just over 48 hours.  We are planning our 20 year anniversary trip.  We are planning for 7 to 10 days and my guess is that we will likely hire somebody to come stay with the kids.

None of the kids were ran over which is a huge improvement over the last time I went to SLC to run.  Hotel was nice and catered to the runners. 

It was nice to see Lee's aunt and cousins.  I always forget how loud they are and how they all talk over each other.  There were lots of kids there. It was a good meal and good company and I slept on a water bed for the first since....Last time we visited Lee's aunt.  We got caught up on family news that we are often left out of because Lee's mom isn't around to pass on the information.  It is funny what is public information but what isn't in the Thompson family.

It was really a nice trip and I am grateful to Lee's Dad and Step Mom for watching the kids.

Lee was a good sport even though I ran so much slower then him. 

Lacrosse is going great.  Life is great.  Half of the costumes for dance recital came yesterday.

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

LOCK DOWN

The governor came out on Wednesday and ordered a lock down.  It seems like a good idea and will not changed our lives all that much.  We did decided that we would only go to the grocery store once a week we went last Friday.  We will go tomorrow which means it will be nine days.  Kids haven't been in a store in weeks.  Lots of time in the garden and working on yard projects.  It has been good and bad.  More family time and less running around.  But lack of structure over the past two weeks has been tough.  Tomorrow would be the day the kids start back to school.  It is likely they won't be going back at all this year.  Victoria will be the most effected.  No eighth grade graduation likely   The school could decide to bring back just eighth and 12th graders.  Either way they are all out until 4/20.  "distance learning" will start for the kids on 4/13.  Which is another reason I think they will end the schoo...
