Last week

Cache was gone on a business trip all week. All week. We could have gone with him, but a baby and a hotel? Whelp...I chose to stay home. So brave or stupid, it was me and this sweet face going it alone. We did have a craft night, but that was as far as I dared venture. There was also a tiny corner of magazine eating incident which left me opening a million infant CPR videos on youtube and worrying for two more days. Basically, this Momma needs her better half. He is my sanity, my safe house, my kiss on the forehead to let me know everything is okay. And the way he lights up this little girl is just melt in your mouth perfection. We both ached for him.

I'm so grateful for this little family of ours, and may we never be apart that long again.

The New Year: 2012

We thought for new years we'd forgo cold weather and hang out with my Grandparents in St. George.

Cache and I managed to stay up to midnight by accident. Around 10:30 I was mighty hungry (surprising) so we wandered to the kitchen and found my Grandma was still awake watching Antiques Roadshow and HGTV. YES! We don't have cable so shows like those are kind of a treat for me. She called it a night not too long after and we stayed up watching people buy houses we could never afford. All of a sudden we heard car alarms and fireworks! So we looked at the clock and duh, it was bedtime. I mean midnight.

So the first day of 2012 we explored Snow Canyon. Little known fact: it was named after the Snow family that donated it to the state, not because it has white mountains among the red rock. Weird.

Neither of us are very into new years resolutions...we're more if you want to make a goal, do it. Don't wait until january around kind of people. I am working on this lovely little set though. A good way to set my compass for 2012. Love the idea of writing a letter to yourself. Baby will be getting one too.
