My mom's house is CRAFT zilla, she's got more doodads than Joanns. Anna found these gems sunday and decorated Richards face. Doesn't he look cute? Actually I think creepy is the word. But there was a lot of laughing while this was going down. So that was sunday, we drove around sunday looking for areas where we want to live. I don't hink I like taylorsville or S. Jordan. I just loved sherwood so much, nothing compares. Even to the sketchy side of sherwood we lived on.
So now it's Monday and I'm feeling better. Anna's feeling better. Julia's feeling better. It's so nice to feel good enough to function. Sooo today we got a lot accomplished. We did yoga in the morning, then cleaned the bathrooms and did my moms laundry, then we played the piano and sang disney songs. Anna loves to sing along to Colors of the Wind and Bippity Boppity Boo. When julia went down for her nap we cleaned out my mom's deep freeze. That was intense. There's a lot of stuff in there for me to cook, but it wasn't in bad shape like the storage room was. Then we organized her tupperware. It was intense. Really intense. I tossed a whole big huge bag full of tupperware lids and bases without lids. Anna enjoyed the game of sorting the lids into shapes (circles and squares) and making towers out of the tupperware that did have lids. oye. Tupperware.
julia is playing the tupperware drum. she loves drumming.
After tupperware, reading about 10 books, bundling up both girls and getting more books for the stroller ride, we headed out for a run.
this is on our run, they both fell asleep. how nice. no fighting.
lots of snow. lots of hills. i barely made it up this one.
if you look really close you can see the temple in middle of the picture, where teh sidewalk ends. You can see out over the whole valley from up here.
i ran into some snowy sidewalks, but it was nothing the Burley couldn't handle. I love that thing.
We made it to the temple! Such a beautiful sunny day. I didn't realize how much I do enjoy the sun. And how much I miss the green....and my running route in sherwood. But this route is my favorite route in the whole world. I know I'm crazy. I love places for the running. Logan really was best, but you probably can't run on the logan bluff trail since that landslide richard did his thesis on killed a few people a few years ago. that was a horribly written sentence. time to go to bed.

Well, try and move to the Avenues, Liberty Park Area, Park City or Kamas Valley if you want a super cool neighborhood. :)Sandy isn't so bad though and I was born in Taylorsville. That wasn't so bad either...but I only remember going back and visiting Tom and Emma.
The writer Ed Abbey once wrote that when he was collecting money at the entrance gate of Arches NP a guy with Ohio plates told him, "This place is fine, but it needs more water." Ed Abbey remarked, "if this place had more water, it would look like Ohio." Nothing wrong with Ohio or Sherwood, but the desert is pretty amazing too.
DO NOT MOVE TO TAYLORSVILLE. I live in West Jordan right now, but am technically across the street from Kearns, which is adjacent to TV. I hate hate hate it out here.
I'm SO glad you are all feeling better and are finding plenty to keep you busy! That looks like such a lovely run. Is the altitude adjustment hard for you? I always had a hard time running at home at 5,500 feet vs. 300.
I'm also so glad that you got to go to your Grandpa's funeral even though it sounds like a hard trip. I missed one of my Grandpa's funerals while we were on a cruise and have always felt sad about it. Even a cruise didn't make up for it. My Mom sent me a dvd of the funeral, but I've never managed to motivate myself to watch it. What kind of mood do you need to be in to watch a movie of a funeral?!
