My Utah Trip

Here is Katie's headstone. If you look close you can see the pansies I planted inside the cement block. There was a hole that went right down into the soil. We will see if they live.


Hi to all:

Sorry it has been so long. I have been crazy (I know, what is new?) Anyway, I also went to Utah for a week--with NO kids!! It was great. I got to spend time with my mom and sisters and I visited Katie's grave. It was the first time I have seen her headstone in person. It was really nice. It was one easy headstone to find. It was so different than all the others around it!

I also finished my online course this week. That one was a killer! I am hoping for an A, but I am pretty sure I will be getting a B *sigh* there goes my 4.0! I will be perfectly happy with a B in that class-it was a hard one.


We went on a couple of hikes. It was perfect weather, unlike back home. We got to visit and laugh and be outside! I think this time of year was perfect for southern Utah! Oh, this is a picture of me in front of some Indian petroglyphs.


Here are the three sisters! (Don't tell anyone we were up here, I don't think we were supposed to leave the trail!)

We spent the day in Las Vegas. We went the Bodies Exhibit. It was really cool, but you can't take any pictures inside, so this is all I've got. I learned some new things and saw some really neat stuff. We all wished we had more medical training to understand more, but it was educational.

Mostly, I tried to decompress and let myself feel what I needed to. I think I would have liked some more time to myself, but I can't complain about spending time with my sisters and mom. It was so great!

So now, I'm back to real life--wish me luck!
