El Suerte Numero Veintisiete

Has it really been a month and a half since I blogged?

I don't have anything to say, but I just feel like talking to you. 

Life is pretty good. Just got back from a cruise with the Glem Fam. We went to Santa Barbara (and didn't even get off the boat) and Ensenada. We had a great time, the best thing was going zip-lining in Ensenada. Eric rented what we commonly referred to as the party bus, which turned out to be a normal bus, but it did say we were lucky on it. And it was #27, which is my age so I do find that lucky. [note: by the time I am actually posting this I am now veintiocho]


This bus was very lucky, because as we pulled in to the zip line parking lot, we had to ask our guide if it was open. She had to pretend she knew it was and hope for the best, because that place was a ghost town. But we walked up and it was open and we were the only ones there! 

I was really nervous to do the first zip line. As I climbed the ladders two thoughts crossed my mind: 

1. This might be the part where I die

and 

2. Maybe I wouldn't be as good at all those Real World/Road Rules Challenges or the Amazing Race as I thought. 

I had to stop at the top and steady my breathing, but once I did the first one I was no longer scared. However, you have to do these bridges between zip lines, and those things were scary!

I really want to show you pictures, but I've asked Eric to send them to me twice and he hasn't so I'm giving up. Use your imagination. 

Cruising is amazing, but it had been long enough from the last time that I forgot about the motion sickness. It makes it rough, but it was just the last day/day and a half. 

We sang karaoke, ate a ton, swam, slept, watched movies. It was so nice. 

When we got off the cruise ship, we still spent the weekend in LA, went to a UCLA v UW game (at the Rose Bowl) which was frankly, a pretty boring game. The fans were kind of nonchalant. It made me grateful for our BYU atmosphere. Still fun to see a game there. 

Next day we went to Knott's Berry Farm. We were exhausted, but it was worth it. 

Grateful for the trip. We've somehow covered Hawaii, Las Vegas, Nashville, Jackson Hole, Denver, New York, New Jersey, Boston, LA, and Ensenada this year. Many memories to be grateful for.

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?
