It's a Process ... Progress~

Dig In

Richie and I have moved so much in our married life. Always in the search for the next best better job and or "lifestyle"! I recall on Strawberry Hill saying "just dig in", in Roswell saying "this is it" and on Memory lane saying "lets just start over and dig in" and then again in Valley saying "lets drop an anchor or at least a boat in that lake and Dig in"! As my Grandpa Lyman would have said "its all joyful to the purpose"! Transitions are hard. Commitment is necessary. Experience necessary. 

For now we are transitioned, committed and experienced.  We are us for the first time in 36 years! Richie is indeed digging in!!! Just wanted to share his little project remember it's a work in Process to Progress!!!  Plus I found a new app!!!

I guess it won't load so I have loaded it on YouTube!

Drink long ASK QUESTIONS -

Today Richard and I went for Breakfast.  

We are having so much fun together alone!!! ;) I asked him "how do you think your parents sat at the Restaurant and talked and drank coffee for hours"?  (cuz they did)   He said "I don't know, they did though and talked and talked and talked."  

So we were wondering What did they talk about.  Anyway.... this conversation went weird - "I guess I didn't know my Dad at all." He said.  I responded "I guess I didn't know mine either. I'm still wondering why they lived apart for decades."  Richard said "They just lived separate lives.  He lived two lives.  He liked being away from home and Your Mom just let it happen that way."   

Isn't it weird that we don't know our parents?  Who they were when they were young?  who they were before they were married.  What they loved, talked about, believed in?  I made the comment that "I seemed to be more bothered by this now than I was when I was in the middle of it."  Richard said that "now you are them, you've watched your kids be them, (really ayris was your mom and it wasn't alright with her!)   And now you want to be YOU, You want to be in love, be a couple, have fun and Be happy".  He is right.  I DO.  

see I learnt alot last year!!

Today I say -  Find out who you are.  

Ask YOUR PARENTS QUESTIONS.  ASK YOUR KIDS QUESTIONS.

BE HAPPY it's how it SHOULD BE!

Car trouble in Baker City

I have surmized that January is not a good month for me!  In reading and reviewing my "paper journals" I seem to not find too much happiness in January and I always in every year have new resolve. So I am going to learn from this and change stop repeating the same blah blah blah stuff!  I found two "HAPPY" enteries to share ... Jan 6 2001 Mom Apryl and I left for Utah!  It was such a fun drive.  I really do have so much fun with Apryl Ann when she is not worried about "the social network" of her life.  On this drive she was not, we drove thru rain and sleet and snow in her little honda on an adventure back to Weber State.  We had a little car trouble and for awhile thought that Nan was going to freeze to death right there in the car! We stayed in Baker City just to warm up Nanny!  Ohhh Apryl I do love you,  she is pretty confused about why she is going to Weber, and leaving love behind her.  It is so hard as a mom to watch your daughter go off to college to see her sad, scared, anxious, curious, excited all in a matter of seconds!  I remember leaving her there that first semester, standing on the balcony of her dorm - I cried all the way to Boise!  She is a wonderful deserving young woman, she will be ok, she will get thru school and be running a hospital someday!!!  Austin got his letter of acceptance to BYU this week, what will I do when they are both gone??? They are my life.
