Fly Out Fly In

Luke and I went to CA this weekend for my sister in-laws bridal shower. I brought Luke because he would fly for free and all the fam wanted to see the handsome little man. I got to stay with my parents for a bit and party with family. As luck would have it it was November 11, 2011 on Friday which happens to be my niece's and sister in-laws birthday. So I wanted to make an effort to recognize when it is was 11:11 am on 11/11/11. I was in Bed Bath and Beyond picking out a gift with my mom.  And then later I thought something magical should happen at 11:11 pm on 11/11/11. So I stayed up and made a wish.  I'm sure it will come true right? My mom says I just can't make up stuff like that. Well I just did. Now I have it all planed out for next year when in will be 12:12 am on 12/12/12. Who's with me?
The 12th of Nov. was on Saturday so I got to take pictures of a whole different scene. Here are my 12 pictures that day.  Find out more about the project here.

When I got home I found that Kevin and the kids had the house clean. They had even moped the floor!!Thank you Thank you. 

Today I laid in bed until 8:30. Unheard of really. Max and Lilly made sure to come into my room, love me and tell me they missed me.  They were excited to play with Luke, and Luke was happy to see them.

Today a church I was called into the Young Women program as the Beehive advisor.  I must admit I'm so excited.  This will be the first time I will be in Young Women since I left the program at 17.  It's a new adventure that I feel ready for. 

Tomorrow is full of errands and preschool prep.  I really don't mind Mondays at all.
