The JWU 5!


It's been a crazy weekend with Amy and four of her JWU chef friends in the house. Yesterday the guys fixed Mexican food for us. I wish you could have smelled my house as it was cooking! It was poetry in motion to watch the action and I had a ring-side seat to it all. I have to say that at times it was a bit crazy and loud, but it was so much fun! Mom & Dad came over to watch the fun and enjoy the food, too. My favorite part of the meal was the jalapeno poppers. I know they're not really good for me, but it was a treat to have homemade ones and I loved them! Unfortunately, so did Annie, the wonder beagle (who I suspect is part Mexican.) Before anyone could stop her, she'd snatched one from the plate on the coffee table. If you'll recall, this is a dog who has random digestive issues. So far, so good, but I'm on alert for the next couple of days.

I just dropped Brian off at the airport for his 2 week trip to Salt Lake City. He wasn't even home for 24 hours this time. It's hard to believe he's gone again so soon. Just a couple more trips between now and 1 November, though, and then he gets to stay home for a little while. One of my dearest friends in the world is coming out this week for about 6 days. That'll make time pass more quickly for Bethany and me. And next weekend we're all headed up to Denver to see Laura & Ian and then walk in an event to raise money for Down's Syndrome. I think time will pass much slower for Brian. But I hear it's quite gorgeous in Utah, so he'll have lots to see/do.
