Time.

In Utah it can drop 30 degrees in one afternoon.
Yesterday: high 70's today: low 40's

It was raining cats and dogs when the kids walked to school today.
Yes, I made them walk. I always do...we are 17 steps away from the school path. Plus a little rain won't hurt them.
M E A N W H I L E,
Mace's new pastime:

He jumps and jumps and jumps and jumps (from the 6th step)....in his underoo's and batman/superman
(it's reversible!) cape.
He loves it.
Typical boy.

and lately.
My life is a whirlwind.
It's all going so fast. Time that is.
My time is ticking down and down and down....

The stress is crazy. So much to do.
Every day I cherish this place:
Here's a few of my FAV's:
My view of the mountains from my front yard, my lovely chats with my sisters, spending time with my best girlfriends, playing hoops and soccer in our backyard, hanging with Gpa and Gma during Jazz games, playing with all of our BEST cousins.
And also all the little things:
my new blossoming cherry tree, the color of my kitchen cabinets (ohh i seriously love my colors), watching Ash swim her last days on her team, saying goodbye to our cute neighborhood, running my favorite routes, driving up to the mountain house, being 5 houses away from 2 of my sis's, my 3 favorite windows full of light, my big bathtub, Jake playing soccer w/ his buddies of 4 years, wednesday cafe rio w/ my girls, hanging on my front porch with the sunshine..
all of it.
all of it I love.
all of it I will miss.
so much.
I hope that I can make new happy places.
It will take time.
yes, time.
I know.
Now off to the rain, a houseful of children and friends, a husband (yay), cooking dinner, and spending the last of my time well.
Here, in S.L.
my time....is ticking and ticking....
xo!

Don't lie. You are not cooking dinner this week. And also Mace looks like Batman. It is all going by to fast for us too. Love your GNO pic. It's a keeper. I love my special needs friend. Stay a play a little longer.

ps I love my blossoming cherry tree too. The pink blossoms are the best.

OMG! That was so sad, you almost had me crying. I will admit to a lump in my throat but no more than that. But, considering I only cry once a year, that is saying a lot. I will miss you and your family, nothing will be the same. Love ya

I am glad to be back an able to keep up with you again if that were even possible. I love your pics of Mace! hOW HAPPY THAT MADE ME AS i REMEMBER SO MANY OTHERS WITH ACTIVE IMAGINATIONS. Yes time is our friend and our curse. You still have lots of it for so many things and your head is so on straight about the big things that you have plenty of time... but I have to admit to a little lump in my throat too as I think of the short time we have left to just enjoy what we have had. So, I say bring it on, we will all make it. And we will get to find out a little more about love and growing love across the miles. I am so glad that you will keep sharing your live with us and perhas more of us will do more to share with you and with each other. I love you my sweet daughter.

That is the saddest stinkin post ever! Your and OUR time is tick tick ticking away and it sucks. It's good that you are so positive and have such a happy outlook on life. It will be OK....we just have to keep telling that to ourselves.
