I’m One Sad Excuse for a Blogger
Alright. Sorry for the non-warning regarding my non-posting. A purely accidental occurance, I can assure you of that.
Once again, life has chosen to happen to me and mine.
It’s not all bad, so I can’t really complain.
But, it is all pretty freaking crazy.
But first, an update:
Halloween was GREAT! We spent it with GRADY!! (Oh… and Holly and Brad, too.)
If you’re not getting this from the pics, I was The Mad Hatter (and yes, I made the pants AND the hat), Helene was Alice in Wonderland (and she played her part perfectly), and Simon was Dash Incredible.
AND…. On Halloween day I decided to go “recession”
Yeah! Can you believe it??? I crossed over to the Dark Side and LOVE it. I like to call it my “recession hair”. Aka: Not Blonde… cuz BLEACH is spendy! (But if you want to know my REAL reason it was because I didn’t want to cut my hair any shorter and since life got insane again I NEEDED a CHANGE. So dark I went and dark I will stay…. Until I need another change.)
Alright. So Nello and Company are MOVING.
And it was a FAST decision.
No. I really mean it. We decided to move one day and were literally packing boxes the next. And a week later? We had all our possessions in storage and we went on VACATION! (Jealous?) So far it has been three weeks, but we are planning to be on VACATION until after Christmas.
Why? Because we deserve a LONG vacation. AND. Because we need time to sell our house (what a joke!) and find another place to reside.
The upside to all the madness?
We are FINALLY going to live where we want to live… A place where we want to end up for the duration. Meaning; Grandkids will be visiting us in this new location.
And I couldn’t be happier about it.
You see, for basically our entire marriage Tyson and I have “ended up” in the places we’ve lived and have never felt settled or happy about it.
We have learned our lesson.
It is time to set up shop and house in the place we want to live and finish out our lives there.
And I am SO excited and happy that we have the guts to do it. (Cuz let’s face it…. what we are doing is pretty gall durn drastic. And those that have gotten the FULL story know that.)
The downside?
I’m moving away from Holly and she is a bit mad at me.
And I miss GRADY. Holly was just about ready to hire me as a sitter for her. Something I’ve been waiting for since well before I even met Grady.
I hope one day Holly will forgive me.
But even more, I hope that one day Holly and I will live by each other again.
Alright, I need to stop cuz I’m getting all teary about this.
I already miss my friends that I’ve left behind. It was hard to say goodbye to friends that I’ve had for six years and I was sad that this moving thing went so fast that there were some friends that I didn’t even get the chance to tell them in person that we were leaving.
All right. So that is the short, short update on what has been going on.
I need to get back to my vacation now.
Today we are off to The Hot Place to see a bunch of my bestest friends.
I won’t be away from the blog for very long this time… I’ll probably post again next Monday.
Not that I expect anyone to believe that… But it will happen.
I’ve got more pictures to share!
*UPDATED*
We are not moving to the Hot Place.
We are moving to a Beach Place.
(Unless some crazy turns happen inside our master plan, that is.)

Is the hot place where I live??? OoooOOOh I hope it is because I sort of am DYING to meet you. And your sister lives very close to me.
We could go to Oregano’s and get Pizookie!!!! (Say in sing-song voice please.)
I promise not to be mad if you ignore my stalkerishness.
That is all.
Congratulations on taking life by the horns! I recently made a big move, a bit risky, but haven’t regretted it ONE bit. Wish you and your family the best! And your hair looks great.
hot? texas?! t-e-l-l……
are you headed back to SLC? Where? I’m dying to find out?!?!
PS, I have a crush on your nephew.
WOW! That is crazy! Good for you guys- enjoy your free time! I’m sure you are not moving back to AZ because I know there is no chance that Holly will ever move here!
Ummm, I’m trying to get over it, but I’m not quite there yet. And, no Julianne, I would never move to AZ!! She’s moving to the OC!! Right?
I am very excited to see that the talk on the phone got you to post a new post! I was getting tired of reading about the babe bus driver! You are funny and I am excited to see you! You are still a great friend! (After how many years 20 plus) That is crazy!
Grady is adorable… but he will have a lot on his plate trying to match the adorableness of YOUR children as he grows up! Year after year we’ve seen them get bigger and older and remain ever so cute!
As for the upheaval and life change, GREAT FOR YOU! That’s wonderful! Too many people let themselves get trapped in less than ideal situations and figure that there’s nothing more to life than the suck… SHOW THEM ALL THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS!!!
Hi! I haven’t stopped by in forever…forgiveness all around. I’m so excited that you are on extended vacation and that you are doing something you REALLY want to do. It is super gutsy to pull up your stakes and move, but you sound so excited and it’s a great adventure! I can’t wait to see where you end up and the shannanigans that are sure to follow…Happy Christmas!
I’m kinda irritated at you for doing all this while I was out of town for work. I came back and found out you were gone!
I hope everything works out the way you want. And I didn’t get to tell you this at the Halloween party, but your costume was awesome. You’re so talented!
Good luck and keep blogging so I can keep up with how you’re doing.
Stopping by to wish you a blessed and very Merry Christmas! ? Hugs
Shauna
