Moving Day

Moving in celebration dinner

Alex's fat lip

Hello all-

Thought I'd blog a bit to catch you all up on everything. Have had a good week accomplished alot at work and not so much at home but I do plan to clean out the fridge today. It is really disgusting, Alex will pull something out of the fridge and look at it critically and put it back in the fridge, sometimes he will gag and through whatever it was away, but it has been a while since I did a thorough job of it. Yesterday went with Rob and Nadia as their guide, to Ikea (to bad I cant see a darn thing cause my glasses are on top of the San Francisco Peaks and I "guided them off a wrong exit), we made there in spite of that and they did get some new stuff for the apartment. The other day Alex was playing tennis and smacked himself in the lip, ( I don't know how he managed that) he is finally back to normal. Other than that nothing much else has been happening. Enjoying the terrific fall weather, it is so beautiful now.

This weekend we went to the snowbowl in Flagstaff to see the fall colors, unfortunatley most of the colors had already faded for the year but we did get to see some fantastic scenery, here are some pictures The ski lift on the way up

Happy Wednesday!! It is a good day, though I did start off the day by writing Thursdays date on everything. I am excited to watch my shows tonight.... (I know what you'all thinking) but I can't help myself . First there comes Top model followed by Private Practice and to wrap things up Lipstick Jungle ah the drama. Yesterday Nadia bought me the pink vine for the little tiny garden. Hopefully it spreads and climbs up over the wall like its supposed to, if it does that it will be really pretty. I think I'm saving the corner over the far left for a fountain though I haven't decided what kind I will get yet. This weekend was fairly uneventful we did finish the yard and that in itself is an accomplishment. Alex had this idea to drive out to the wilderness and haul dirt so we could fill up the flower bed. I thought it would be a good idea until we started getting it off the side of the road, I was utterly mortified. It looked as though we were dumping our garbage or we were burying the dead, to all the other motorist that passed our way and it seemed like a million passed our way. I don't know what I'm going to do with Alex some times :) This weekend we are going up to Flagstaff and riding the ski lift up and down the mountain to look at the fall colors, pretty excited to do that since I have never been and it will be fun to get out of the valley anyhow I'll keep you posted on everything Toodles for now

Camping

Camping .... I used to think, why do people do this, leave the comforts of home and come out to unfamiliar territory and sleep in make shift dwellings, that doesn't seem relaxing? Well I have had a change of heart, well kinda, I really enjoyed camping this weekend, even

with the sudden downpour and the grime under my fingernails I think all in all its not as bad as I used to think ( well as long as you don't have to do it for more than a couple days). It was nice to be able to build a campfire and stare for hours into the flickering that never is the same, nice to be able to sleep under the sky where the stars are actually visable and to listen to the water running and the crickets chirping but the most fun was being able to spend really uniterupted time with the people that I love most. To talk or not, the time of being able to just be close to each other, I think that is what camping is all about. love jordan
