I'm here! I'm here!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately! I'm still here, we've just been busy!

This past weekend we were out of town. We woke up early Saturday morning and drove about an hour to our friend Dawn & Marc's house. They bought it about 6 months ago and the yard was all dirt. Last weekend they had pavers laid for a patio section with benches and a fire pit, but that only took up about 1/3 of their yard. They held a "rock party" on Saturday only it's not what you're thinking... it was actually a party to shovel rocks. They had 24 tons of rocks dumped in their driveway and we all got together to shovel it into wheel barrels and put in the backyard. We also moved dirt, leveled it, and laid sod as well. It was one HELL of a workout and I'm incredibly sore from it! I loved it though!

I'm still on track with my burpees. In fact, at Dawn & Marc's place on Saturday morning I had a bunch of people doing them with me! It was awesome! Today will be Day 33 and I must admit, they are getting much easier. I can do 15 without stopping for a break at this point ...

We took showers at Marc & Dawn's then drove up to Wickenburg, AZ from there- another 1.5 hours away. We stayed the night at his Aunt Sheri's house, ate dinner, played games, went hiking, and visited with family who was also staying there. It was a wonderful Easter!

We didn't get home until after 9 pm last night and we're both very exhausted. Traffic was terrible on the way home so it took forever.

I'm also stressed about getting home so late because Michael's parents arrive tonight for the week. I don't have sheets on the guest bed, haven't cleaned the guest bathroom, haven't gone grocery shopping, let alone just general cleaning that needs to happen too. I'm also stressed because if you've been reading this blog for a while, you already know that Michael's mom requires extensive patience and self-control on my part. It's almost like the fact that I'm so tired going into this week and so ill-prepared makes me nervous that I'll be at the end of my rope sooner than normal.

So I might be a little quiet with blogging this week too since they'll be here but it just depends on what they have planned. I know they're talking about taking a trip up to the Grand Canyon so if that's the case, it will be life-as-normal in our household until they get back.

Until tomorrow,
KelsaLynn
