Back to the weekend.
After getting to bed much later than planned Friday night, I woke up and this is how my Saturday went...
- Leave for work 2 hours later than planned
- Stop for gas
- Notice my tire is low, so I check it and the pressure is only 10psi (should be 30psi)
- Try to put air in tire, but the air pump is missing a piece
- Drive to another gas station to fill tire
- Work twice as long as planned and still don't finish
- Leave work ten to one, not a big deal, BUT...
- Need to be in Snowflake at 4pm for a baptism, not a huge deal if we are a few minutes late, BUT...
- Jason was giving a talk (do you know I work 35 minutes away from my house??)
- Make it home super fast (does anyone else believe the Sheriff that sped past me and "let" me follow him at 80mph the last half of the drive was a tender mercy?)
- Leave for Snowflake at 1:35pm
- Make it to the baptism (despite having to stop for gas) at 4:05pm and they hadn't started
- Breathe a sigh of relief (too soon)
- After Clara uses the rest room (I let her go in the stall for the first time alone to save time) we go sit down and she says she just wants to stand
- I check her panties because in the bathroom she had told me she got a little potty on them; panties are soaking (my attempt to save time didn't work out so well)
- Out to the car to change her undies
- Back inside to the baptism
- Then I was able to relax, ahhh
After the baptism (I didn't take a single picture at the baptism; I was way too preoccupied eating brownies), we went out to eat with Jason's family. Then we spent our evening outside feeding horses and visiting around a fire at his parent's house. Long after bed time, we went to Michelle's to go to bed. The highlight of my trip was staying up until almost 4am chatting with Michelle (waking up after staying up that late was not a highlight). Someday Michelle might just start charging me for these all night therapy sessions. Until then, she sure saves me a lot of money! Sunday was church, visiting, power naps, playing in the grass and then driving home. I'm glad it was much less eventful and much more peaceful than Saturday. Just the way Sunday should be.
Aunt Lacy teaching Clara table manners
Like mother like daughter
We met Clara's littlest Penrod cousin, Adalyn, for the first time
Clara's headband might not have matched her dress, but it matched mine :)
I love this tree, just look at the shape of it

All that craziness makes me want to cry for you :(
I hate when everything things seems to go wrong & run late.
But that tree is gorgeous!
I wish that was in my front yard- well, except I'm sure the birds would love it too and would wake me up early in the AM :)
As much as I don't want you to move I do hope things turn out okay with the loan.
I'm pretty sure I'm in love with the same tree. At least if it's the same one we pass when we drive by Jason's parent's house on the way to Brenden's parent's house. Every time we pass it I say "I want a tree like that one day if we ever own a home. I want have family dinners underneath it on a picnic table with BBQ food and baked beans." And for some reason every time I imagine us living that scenario I'm serving a plate full of corn on the cob while wearing a dress and an apron. Oh yeah and I'm barefoot.
Oh hello there....where did my mind go? Ha ha.
Isn't the weather beautiful up there in the evenings at this time of year too?
Hope everything goes through ok with your loan. Heaven knows you guys deserve a break.
It is so green up there. Clara looks like she had fun at the baptism. I am sorry about the mortgage mess. My in laws just had their buyer back out because of some paper work not filed right. I hope it works out for you.
anna, anna. i hope you've had some time to chill after such a busy weekend.
and did it really surprise you that things didn't go smoothly for you and your house? no. i guess it didn't. i really have my heart set on all that tile, so i hope things work out!
it was fun to catch up with you and we always love having you stay with us!!! Hopefully the house thing will work out for ya!! Do you still need a place to stay this weekend!! We are going camping but you know how to break into my house!!Call me this week when you have sometime!
Clara is such a pretty little girl.
