The last few days....

I have been busy the last few days.......but boy have they been great! As you can see from the previous post Sarah my younger sister had her baby on Wed morning. It was a long day of work as I anticipated going to the hospital and spending time with her! What a doll she is!!! I had Fri off from work but at the last minute decided to take Thurs off as well and make a nice weekend of it and help my sister out a bit. I was super glad that I did! I had fun holding the new baby, playing with the rest of the nieces and nephews, and doing what really matters in life---enriching relationships w/my family. I love new babies and the reminder that they give me of what is important and to SLOW down!!! I had Audrie overnight one night and while it was exhausting I love talking with her and laughing like a child! She was so attentive to her new sister and will be a great help I hope! It was exciting for me to take Sarah home from the hospital....what a great feeling to bring a newborn home and while I hope one day to have this experience for myself I was thankful for the opportunity to participate in a bit of heaven on earth!

I got them settled and headed to Park City with a couple of girlfriends! Oh how I miss working w/Haylie!!! And oh how I needed that afternoon of shopping!!! It was fun to shop for some clothes that were needed and find some good bargains as well! Thanks girls for a great day!! I headed to Logan on Sat to pick up some couches from my old roommate and that was a fun day....although driving there and back in one day was tiring. I am super excited to have the couches I have loved for a long time! And look forward to the accessorizing!!

We then had a Larson Cousin party that night. But before we headed there we went to see Brooke & Kelly's new house being built! It will be nice when it is done but hard that they will be farther away from us all! It was fun to chat and catch up with my cousins about their lives.....I sure do love spending time with my family and we missed the ones that weren't there! It was nice to do some of those important things that get pushed to the side at times! Love you all!!

I ended the weekend with dinner at my parents on Sun. It was fun to spend time with them and play cards with them. Something that I miss living on my own. I need to be better about having them over for dinner and games on occasion! Sarah and John came over as well and it was fun to visit with them as well as hold little Tessie for awhile. Oh how it makes everything in life better!!! I could cuddle all my nieces and nephews all day long if given the chance!

I am thankful for times when I can leave work behind and do things that really matter!!! You know like spoiling my nieces and nephews rotten! I love being with my family and doing things with them! I look forward to another busy week but thankful for the time that I can spend with people who influence me in good ways!
