I'm Back...maybe

Allison suggested that I not look at anyone's blog until I update my own. I'm taking her suggestion. I have to admit, I'd much rather spend a 1/2 hour looking at all of your blogs than spend 5 minutes writing about my own life.

Since my last post a lot has happened. Most significantly, my father-in-law passed away while we were on vacation with him at the beach. Most of you know the circumstances of this event, so I won't talk about it too much. We miss him terribly, but we know that he is happy and lived up to every expectation our Heavenly Father had of him. What an amazing example he was and still is to our families.

We are redecorating our kitchen and family room. I shouldn't say RE-decorating because we are actually just decorating it for the first time. My Aunt Kay has been helping me a lot. She has been very generous with her time and advice. Basically, she tells me what I need to do and we do it. As long as I follow her advice, I know it will look great. It already is starting to take shape. I'll post some pictures another time.

I love being home with Taryn while my kids are at school. It's a peaceful time, especially while she's napping. I have a bit more freedom and lots more discretionary time.

O.K., that's enough for now. I bore myself reading this :) Why does everyone else's life seem so much more interesting than my own. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy and love my life; but really, it's boring.
