Reuben is home from the Navy

Reuben went into the Navy reserves in May. He is done with his training and job training. He is home for who knows how long. He thinks he will go to Afghanistan in a year or so, but until then he will just do the one weekend a month and two weeks a year thing for the reserves.
We all went to the airport Friday night at 10:00 to see him come in. His luggage of course was lost so we had to wait until the very last bag to make sure it was lost and then report it lost and it did finally come to my house Saturday afternoon. Everyone came back to my house and spent the night Friday. It was really good to have the whole family there. (of course no Dan because he was out of the country on a flight) We had German pancakes with Carmel syrup for breakfast and then went for a run on the track. Reuben had a hard time running because of the higher elevation vs California. He also thought it was SO COLD!!! We teased him so much.

Then we went to the park and took photos. Right when we were going to take the good ones, my camera batteries died and I had to go get some and by the time I got back everyone was sick of posing. So I didn't get great ones, but some turned out.

Bad decision

So I wax. Do you? What do you wax? Well, I wax my body, well my eyebrows and girly mustache, not those other body parts they do in "Brazil." Any who..... Today was the day. I hadn't waxed in FOREVER and so I decided I'd take a stab at it. I have been doing my own waxing since I got married, I use to live with this wonderful girl, Jamie, and she was a professional, but I got it free. The friendly roommate discount. She did great. She would spend a good 20 min. or more and wax, pluck, and make me a new girl with definition on the brow line. Well, at first I was horrible and took forever. However, through the years and trials, I have gotten better....UNTIL today. I decided to do it at the wrong time and that was the start of a horrible ending to this sad story. Why was the timing wrong you ask? Well, Connelly was awake and getting into, on, around, and breaking EVERYTHING he could find in the bathroom. (Basically, he was eating my tampons and opening up maxi pads one by

Found a home

Bell has found a new home. After I put her up for FREE on ksl.com, I got a ton of calls. The first little old lady that came to look at her snatched her right up. I was really surprised because Bell snapped at her right off, but I guess things are going well now. The lady called me later in the day, and said, "thank you, thank you. Bell is the dog I've waited for my whole life." She said that Bell just followed her around all day and the neighborhood kids love her. I'm so relieved.
