Survival Mode

It has been a really long time since either of us have posted, so even though I (Paul) don't have anything exciting to write about I thought I would post anyway.

The past month has been crazy. First I had a busy week at work trying to get some reports out. Then the next week I worked 4-10 hour days and used the artificial three-day weekend to visit my family before my mom gets kidnapped by tax season. Then the next week I had to work 4-10 hour days so I could make it to my American Society of Civil Engineers conference in San Francisco. It was fun because my mom happened to be in town visiting my Gram so we all met up for dinner. Then my flight from San Francisco to Salt Lake was delayed and I missed my flight home and had to crash with my brother and his family in Sandy. That was fun but I really missed my family, and I only had Sunday afternoon to spend with them before heading back to work for another 4-10 week. Finally this week I was able to stay home for the artificial three-day weekend.

This Friday was my first day at home since Jan 11th. We were able to relax and still tackle some projects like replacing the blinds in the kids' rooms (which they destroyed) with curtains. I found these really cute curtain rods, one with footballs on the end for Asher, and one with pink butterflies for Madeleine.

Well sorry it is not all that exciting, but we have been more in a survival mode and we've made it. Hopefully now that our lives are returning to some sort of normalcy we will update our blog more often, like we used to.
