If I Won the Lottery

This is an Eric question. I don't think about winning the lottery, because I don't ever plan on buying a lotto ticket [insert eye roll from Eric--- most people don't plan on buying lotto tickets and winning, but they still think about it].

I think Eric has a plan for any large amount of cash. So I guess I could also say I don't worry about it because he will know what to do! And don't worry family, you are all taken care of by the plan.

The thing I would do first is pay off any student loan debt I still had and buy a house. These are probably first on anyone's list (or any other debt they may have), but I am so anxious to pay off my student loans that it is annoying.

Let's think about something fun to buy...

I know I don't have to be rich to buy these, but I would love to have several dogs and a place for them to play and enjoy their lives, and the time to really play with and take care of them!

I would buy a Jeep again. Probably and older one like mine was. But maybe a new one.

I have always wanted a Bronco, I'd take a Bronco II as well.

I would like to travel, mostly to South America and Europe. And then I think I'd just try to keep my money and live comfortably forever.

I had a baby.

It's a boy. I actually came to blogger to write about something else, but then I realized I haven't announced that I did, in fact, birth my child, and he did, in fact, make it here, which I'm not making light of. It is a fact I repeat to myself often. He is here, we made it. I am his mother and Eric is his father. He is a person and he learns every day. While it is easy to see him for what he is most right now, which is CUTE , he is also mellow and funny and happy, observant and sometimes timid, and sometimes noisy, aware and eager to grow. It is an amazingly wonderful and spiritual thing and I'm grateful every day for my son and the opportunity to raise him each day. I have had too many close to home tragedies recently to take this for granted. My dear neighbor and friend lost her son at 4 years old, an unexplainable accident that took him home to Heavenly Father. Another, my sister's closest friend, lost her son at 39 weeks pregnant, his body born to his famil...

Pictures from the Cruise

To accompany the last post. And Eric is the best for sending me the pics! Because they are great. It's just from the zip lining in Ensenada but it was so fun. Just off the ship in Ensenada. The whole group. Love being a part of this family! Getting geared up. Literally. Don't be fooled. I was petrified at this point. This is Dave and Katie but it's the best showing of the first bridge. Eric about to cross the first bridge. I think this was the 3rd one. This was the easiest, I thought. Even though I look a little off balanced here. This is Katie. But this one was actually the hardest I thought, because you had to reach so high. My shoulder killed for like 4 days after this. Oh, and how about an actual zip line?! Doesn't look fast, but it was. It shows the distance really well, though. Eric had had enough and decided to take over the mic for the duration of the "tour"

Just a little curious

Does anyone else go back and read their own blog? Of course you do. It's a journal format. But I wonder if anyone goes and reads anyone else's blog still. I still read my parents' blogs, but even those have been several months. I haven't looked at my sisters' blogs in years, I don't know if I can remember the urls. I logged in just to see if I could still get access so I'm leaving a little note to the world. It is so strange how the world changes. Personal blogs felt so permanent, but they weren't. They faded, and while it's still here, maybe no one else will ever read this again. Maybe an anthropologist digging through digital history trying to discover what the ancient world was... but doesn't it feel like all of this will be gone? And they'll be trying to learn more through my hairbrush and stanley cup? But who am I to predict what will last and what will disappear?
