Single Again

It was a Thursday night and I had class, yes class (I'm taking a Writing for Publication class at the Wasatch Campus of UVU). I got home at nine, called a friend who was in town, ate some food, stalked people on Facebook (no, I'm not on Facebook) and tried to sleep. Next morning, I woke up late, stayed in bed writing my book until around 10:30. Cleaned my house. Blogged. Went grocery shopping (it was actually pretty fun and I remembered EVERYTHING on the list). Paid bills. Did my taxes. Completed Rob's FAFSA. It was now 2pm.

Rob decided on Thursday night to head up to Logan until Sunday morning...without me--just him and the boys! I actually cried, because I didn't want to be left alone in this huge scary house without anyone (I even called my brothers to see if they would take shifts babysitting me at night--no joke!). Well, Rob insisted I needed a break. Besides, I had class that night and a roommate reunion on Saturday.

What I learned from my little break? I needed it! But, I also learned I have mastered productivity! Seriously, what did I do before I had kids? I had so much spare time, I didn't even know what to do with myself! Fun time, yes, but I missed my little life with my family. I was happy to see them on Sunday.


As for my fantastic C-1 reunion--we had so much fun, we couldn't leave and are planning another one! Everyone made it except Dinah, whose ride from Washington bailed on her. We all met almost a decade ago (can't believe it!!!) from all over the country...Oregon, Arizona, Georgia, South Dakota, California, Washington...and we bonded like sisters. Oh how I love these girls. We went through pictures and our apartment song and "You'll never guess what happened" chart. It was perfect! We were totally crazy then, and now we have 7 kids and 2 on the way amongst us--minivans and all! So fun.
Here's us then...




And now...
Guess not much has changed.

How fun to have a roommate reunion. I would so love to do that! I guess I've been single so long that I've forgotten how much I used to be scared at night. I had to get over that quick! It is always good to have a break. It makes you appreciate what you have just a little bit more:)

What a fun reunion! I love old roommate memories. One of my college roommates move just down the street from us about a month after we moved here...what are the odds? It's been SO fun!

I LOVE this post! That was so fun to see everyone. It was such a breath of fresh air. Are you going to Amber's baby shower? I might bring Lily and my mom is going to be in town. I hope I make it!
