Back in the saddle

Gearing up for a trip to the States. No, I am not excited YET!!! I (ok, we) have so much to do before we leave. Thomas has a huge week at work. We are a person short at my work...STRESS, STRESS, STRESS.

In the end, I get to see almost all of my sisters. Cort is too pregnant to fly. I will definitely miss seeing her, Matt and Kyle, but her health and that of the baby are way too important. Oh yeah, our German friends Marei and Heiko welcomed a baby girl last Sunday. Laura Hannah arrived healthy and whole on the 18th. I get to see my Grandma and I REALLY excited to see her. I am seeing lots of pictures on my cousin's blogs and I can't wait to hug her. I am excited to visit New Mexico again...GREEN CHILE ALARM!!! I really cannot put into words how much I miss New Mexican cuisine. I have yet to find a resturant that comes even CLOSE to refried beans and tortillas and guacamole and the goodness of melty cheese on top of everything!!!

We are visiting the in-laws this weekend and we have finally purchased wedding presents for the happy couple. It was hard to explain to my Mother-in-law what she should wear to the wedding...she has never had the pleasure of West Texas at 6 pm...I hope I have communicated how hot it really will be...
Other than that, we are getting into travelling mode. I am making sure that we have only what we don't want anymore to pack. Then we can give it to Goodwill after we are finished buying new stuff in the States. Woot!! Euro is better than the dollar. Never thought that I would say that!!!

You're coming for the wedding, right? I'm glad you found our blog...do any of your siblings have one? We're looking forward to seeing everyone. Do you know what their colors are?
