been a while

Well, I know I haven't blogged in a while... there has actually been quite a bit that has happened the past month, hmm... guess my birthday is a good start. My sister and her hubby came to visit this year for my b-day (she went to get time off for the summer to come visit, but couldn't get any scheduled time off till sept, and that was in April) it was SOO much fun! I went to Victor for a day, and just spent time w/my sisters (all except my little sister, cause she's 11 and was in school) It was a BLAST having all 4 of us together at my grandma's house. I don't think we really even did anything special, it was just great to get to sit and visit w/them. Until recently, I had always thought that my oldest sister Michele was so unhappy and grouchy, but after being able to really spend some time w/her (and a day w/just the two of us and our babies) I feel so much different. I get such an amazing energy from my sisters. I miss them! I wish I lived just a little closer. But anyway, it was so great, unfortunatley I didn't take my camera :( so I'm gonna have to get the pics from my sister.



So, a few days after that, was my birthday, and my sister and I spent it shopping hooray! we figured out that we stopped at 19 different places in the 5 hours that we were gone. it was sooo much fun, there are few things I love more than shopping w/my sister, especially when I have money to spend :) we even stopped by the mall to get pics, (you know the little booth photos) the pics look like crap (at least the 'me' half) but they were super fun! :) ahh, lately I've been having a ton of those 'thinking you actually look good, only to see a photo of yourself later, and find you want to cut yourself out of EVERY ONE' kinda times. grr. in my mind I guess I just look alot better than I do in reality :( bummer. but guess I just need to harness that energy into motivation to get into better shape. well on a high note I DID do yoga last night. :) well, I'm sure my kids are gonna be up soon, so I better go get something done.
