Celebrate that Hole!

There she is!

People will drive by and see the fence and maybe even peer down into the hole and not realize the significance of a long 20 years to get here.

So to celebrate, I went with Clay via detour to San Luis Obispo :)

We stayed at the cutest bed and breakfast:)

He is the best

I am part real excited and part making myself excited. I try hard to look on the upside but lately it's felt like a hail storm of doubt. I reach up in prayer and just hope my words are not just floating to the ceiling and popping like a bubble...

After our romantic stop in SLO, I headed over to Phoenix to see my Mom.

But only got a picture of Peppers looking like a she could be in ad for PetCo...haha

Took Daniel and Ella to see Mission:Impossible with Grandma and thought about the Burbank sunset and time I had with Clay amidst the heatdome of 115 degrees:)

Summer is just flying by and I don't feel like I have anything to show for it:(

But you know, I'm sure I do....I'm just having a hard day today.

I want to stop worrying.

I want to stop feeling so reactive.

I ordered Dan Harris' book about meditation.

Maybe this is the thing that could help me most.

I had this dream last night where a woman was there asking me about my meeting agenda for the YW. And I kept saying, I have done this, I know how to do this. And she kept saying she wanted to see it....and then I just broke like a damn.

Yelling in my dream...why does this matter? this doesn't matter!

And then my friend Karen came in and hugged me and we walked away and I kept saying....I'm so tired, I'm just so tired.

I woke up and felt everything.

Was it a release or just a dream informing me that I am just tired of unnecessary demands put upon me.

This is when I wish the sensitivity knob on my sprit would turn down....

but it's at 11 :)

oh, and Chester broke his toe

and him and Audrey are sick and coughing...on July 18th.

am I right?

Sports Mom Era

I think I saw this coming but maybe I didn't really see this coming:) I am a sports mom. Plain and simple. I had other hats too like library mom, classroom aid mom, costumes for musicals mom, outdoorsy hiking mom, musical mom, jazz band mom, tech crew mom, art mom, spring break mom, etc etc etc But sports mom has been a pretty big theme in my life:) So, in honor of my Dad's birthday today and his absolute love of sports, I share this to save the memoires. Because one day, it will be just that, sweet and crazy sports mom era memories:) Okay, so I love JV games because the weather at 4pm in the Bay Area and even coast side was amazing last year. Tee shirt and jeans? Heavenly Fall 2024 (he already looks different) Friday morning fits Becky Ruppel photography↑ In the middle of football season lies the beast of the high school basketball pancake breakfast. It was actually fun to serve all of the people coming through... even the complainers...haha Homecoming! And nothing better t...

Audrey's off! Santo Domingo East Mission

Here she is. On a split. In the campo(country)! Dominican Republic Time hop to May when she received her tags :) Her paper giving her permission to proselyte! Pre-mission things to do were: picture with flag at temple ✓ hikes in the sun✓ being set apart as a missionary in our home✓ home mtc p-day shenanigans✓ last taco bell supper :) ✓ hugs that need to last 18 months✓ Her first MTC phone call home. She had too much fun there but why not? This missionary mom will send you one package to the mtc... and that's it :) Upon arrival, she met her mission presidents! Presidente y Hermana Chaverri Meeting her trainer in the field:) And after a mini transfer, meeting her new trainer! Her spanish will improve exponentially (she is from Nicaragua!) The scripture she shared as she was in the Mexico MTC:) I wrote it out so each day I could walk by it and remember her, and remember the joy the gospel of Jesus Christ brings💗 I cry a little more nowadays but she has ...

The Milkbarn Path

Before fall came, Clay was determined to design and construct a walkway to the Milkbarn. Yay!!! Because we had a very narrow, shoddy (what? shoddy at the milbarn? *gasp*) , unevenly paved sidewalk to the front door which we knew needed a serious redo. We bought the pavers from Lowes awhile ago and had them piled up in front of the house for months. FYI, voles make homes under pavers. Doesn't it look awesome ? Nice, wide, perfect curve and now easy to shovel when the snow comes. The curve looks just right against the angles of the house. I planted some tulips under the trees and near the front door. I'm not holding my breath that anything will come up given my gardening expertise. But again, I do believe in miracles. :) Truth! ! 1600 Sq. ft and going strong...and now with a pathway! I was trying to think of all the photos that have a pathway or walkway in them. Here we are at the Fort Colli...
