Monday, yes it's been a few weeks since I said I would try and blog at least once a week.

So to go on with the fashion of typing just a few things that are on my mind... I will probably just scatter a few words together today.

~My kids make me laugh.
~We waited and waited for warm weather in Utah. Now we are in California. Grey skies and rain here- 85 degrees and warm in Utah. fffffttt.
~Nine years ago, when Ali was only a couple months old and Isaiah was 1 1/2, Cameron's half brother, Eric's daughter, Rebecca passed away. Cameron's family hasn't had much contact with Eric in the past, in fact Cameron is the only one of his siblings that has met him so far. We are excited for next summer when his family will be making a trip west from their home in Louisiana. There is something about the fibers of life that pull us towards family, even from such a distance- with so little known about each other- we are all so anxious to make that connection.
~The fragility and fleeting nature of life is on my mind because of the memory of Cameron's niece, which he met only once when she was young.
~Northern California is so beautiful and comfortable. Every time we come here I can see why people are willing to put up with the ridiculous cost of living to be here.
~No matter how beautiful and enjoyable other places are, somehow the mountains of Utah, and the deserts of southern Utah are home to me, all the way to my bones (If that is possible.) It probably goes back to family ties.
~I wish I were more perfect. Try a little harder, to be a little better, I guess.
