Question of the day: Do you throw away gift bags & boxes or keep and re-use them?
Listen, I must be a pack rat or a hoarder! .... JK ..... I like to keep gift bags and boxes (good ones) and re-use them! I feel good when I re-use them! I hate buying gift bags, I rarely have to. I have, like two big boxes of gift bags that are collapsed, side by side and another box of previously used tissues. Whoa, previously used tissue sounds like tissues for your nose! ha! So, what do you think? What do you do? throw away or keep and re-use.

Road Trip!!

Sorry it's been awhile since my last blog. Life is spinning by, out of control....way too fast. The boys are busy, each one of them. (David, congrats making the soph. basketball team out of 35 boys who tried out.) I'm busy, Trent's busy and so are Brooke and Ryan. It's crazy. We're all running circles around each other.
So, Trent decided at 3:30 on Friday we were going to get away and have a road trip. "Road trip!!!" $10 if you tell me what movie that is a quote from.
So we went to St. George and snooped around the diff. areas of town for a future, way future, real estate investment and a show in Vegas. Cirque du Soleil's Beatles' "LOVE". Does that mean "circus of the sun" in French? Well, if you haven't seen it yet, you've just got to. It was mind blowing. Sensory overload!!!!
So, to backtrack, I left my classroom at 4:00 on Friday, went to the new Smith's Marketplace at 4:07, bought a bunch of frozen dinners and foods for the boys to make, packed and was ready by 4:30. wow, what a woman I am!
Thank goodness Vern and Elaine came over and watched the BYU game with the boys. That was so nice of them. And it was so comforting to know Di was just down the street. Our boys were so shocked that we just drove out of town in a moment's notice. VrooOOOOOoooooom, we were gone. JJ's all, "hey, what happened?" ha. Trent says and I agree it's good for them to fend for themselves. Hey, they're big boys, right?
