Valentine's Day Adventure!

I am not that great at giving Mitch gifts. It's not that I don't love him, or think the world of him. I am just really practical. Practical gifts make sense to me. Everyone needs socks - why not give them as a birthday surprise? What man wouldn't enjoy a nice new tie for Christmas? I personally think shaving cream is a great stocking stuffer! When you're showering the one you love with gifts galore for Christmas, Valentines, birthday, anniversaries, etc. etc. etc. why not give them the "gifts" you know they need? I understand my views are not shared by all. SOOOOO for Valentine's this year I concocked a special treat! I decided to get something for Mitch that I knew he DIDN'T need. Thanks to Good Things Utah I got this wonderful idea to give Mitch his very own personal flight lesson from Leading Edge Aviation in SLC. It was fantastic! Mitch took a brief course on flying, then he flew himself, a flight instructur and I over the Wasatch Valley. He assisted with take off and landing, and basically took the wheel (or whatever aviation lingo is for the thingy that steers the plane) while we were up in the air. It was awesome! A memory that I think we both needed!

Where do you begin when it's been 9 months since your last post!?!

So...it's been a while. I have nothing against the blogging world. In fact, I think it's great. I love reading my friends and families AdoRAblE blogs. People post the cutest family pictures - professional in their own right, with cleverly descriptive stories, personality matching music, decorated with cute background prints and fonts...they are great. Then there is mine....not cute, not creative, so basic, lame stories, I don't even have music - I tried to get some once and it didn't work out so well. That's why it's been nine months since my last post. I am so lame.

However, we are packing up and moving clear across the country to none other then our nations capital Washington D.C. in April. I feel impressed to re-enter the world of blogging in order to keep in some contact with the ones I love. Maybe my parents won't be so mad at me for taking their grandbaby away from them....maybe?
