I don’t know why, but I just can’t get back into blogging like I once was. Life is still good. We’re actually petless now. I have to say I’m enjoying it. Both the hamsters sadly died. Gabby isn’t pestering me for any new pets yet as I’ve told her a dog or a cat is not an option now. We’re eagerly awaiting summer. This is the worst time in Utah. The “spring” here gives very few tantalizing days that are barely warm and then dumps more snow on us. It’s supposed to snow again this week.
I’m trying to get in shape for summer and being at the pool. I think I’ll sign up for a few races. Nothing big, just 5k and 10ks here and there. I’m also about to go off sugar again. I’m definitely consuming too much so I’m going cold turkey. We’ll see if I can go another 12 weeks and I’m hoping I’ll drop a few pounds like last time and change my fatty fatterson ways!
Gabby is doing well. We’re working on riding her bike without training wheels. She’s caved to peer pressure rather than my goading about it. It hasn’t been the best experience for either of us yet, but we’re persevering. She is growing like a weed. All of the sudden all of her pants are much too short. I can’t keep her in clothes that fit! And with her refusal to wear jeans, it’s not been easy to find new pants that fit her and she’ll wear. That’s another reason I’m ready for summer. When she wear shorts, it’s not so obvious that she’s outgrowing all her clothes.
Otherwise, life is pretty much the same. I noticed a certain theme at the last General Conference. I had resounding and clear answer to the question I’d put to God before conference basically asking if it was alright with Him if I just didn’t worry about dating at all or at least put it on hold for a good 10 years. Gotta love those distinct and clear answers! So I’m making an effort to keep putting myself out there when I can and to keep an open mind among other things in which I need vast improvement.
My parents were out here at the beginning of the month. It’s always great to have them out to visit!
Mom and Gabby while we were bowling.
I have a new nephew, Parker Scott Torgerson. Gabby was a little upset (ok, she had full on melt down) when she found out he was a boy and not the expected girl. But like everyone else, as soon as she saw him, she fell in love and we’re all happy to have a new sweet baby to visit and cuddle!
We spent Easter with the Torgersons. It was fabulous as always. The weather cooperated and kids found plenty of eggs. Gabby told the Mary Magdalene’s story in Primary on Sunday. She did a fabulous job and is a great story teller. I told it to her just once and she did an amazing job remembering every single thing I told her. My brilliant girl!
After the hunt with David and Maggie. These 3 get along so well! It’s actually really nice since they spend a lot of time together and rarely ever have a fight.
