What to do with myself?

Jim headed off to Zion National Park today to go dangle himself at the end of a rope in a slot canyon with a bunch of his Fire Dept. buddies. I guess he was just "at the end of his rope" here, so it was time to take a break, ha ha ha. It will be good for him to take a break, actually- he's been running himself ragged the past few weeks here.

I'm not used to being here at Aspen Grove without him, it feels really weird. So, what am I doing with my time? Let's see. Catching up on my blog posts, and surfing my favorite sewing blogs for inspiration. I could (and sometimes do) do that for hours, I just love seeing the creativity that is out there and frequently get some great ideas for the projects I am currently working on. Sewing can be so therapeutic for me.

The babies are sleeping and Aspen will be heading off to Age Groups in about 10 minutes. Then I suppose I will work on our outfits for the wedding in a few weeks (can't wait!!) and, then I will probably do some baking. It's been a while since I made some good ol' Dodds Family Chocolate Chip Cookies. Good thing Jim will be back tomorrow night to help me eat them! Anyone with a sweet tooth craving is invited to help out with the eating, by the way :)

Next post, maybe I'll put some pictures of the projects I've been working on lately.

Well, no. Not Aspen's wedding, although she did tell me a few days ago that she was wondering who she was going to marry. I told her I hope she finds someone wonderful like her Daddy... she decided she will marry her Daddy.

Aspen's Aunt Susan is getting married & we're excited! Sorry about the confusion there. Can't wait to see the Merrills next month!
