It seems that no matter how much I try to keep updating my blog, something always comes up and I forget or get too busy. So on Friday night Rachel invited all the women cousins over for a “girl’s night”. We had a blast. Leah, Holly, Angie (who I met for the first time and love her), Vanessa, Sarah, Rachel, and myself were all there. We tattooed ourselves (temporary of course), ate lots of junk food, and best of all……… Played Rock Band and American Idol til the wee hours in the morning. I had no idea how fun rock band was. If I may toot my own little horn for a minute….. TOOT TOOT!!!!! I rocked the guitar and drums for my first time playing!!!!!! I am working right now but I will be posting pictures and videos as soon as I can.
I was able to take a trip to Colorado and visit my parents. I spent a bunch of time with my old friend Heather. We grew up together and were great friends, then I moved away and now we have reconnected!!! Yeah for Facebook!!! It was a relaxing trip but stressful also. I took my baby nephews with me, and between taking care of them and my parents, I was tired. My dad has been getting sicker and starts Radiation treatment in less than 2 weeks. That is a scary thing for me to see him go through. Most of you know that I too went through a cancer treatment. I chose chemo for my treatment and it was a terrible experience for me. Please remember my dad as you say your prayers.
On the way back from Colorado I stopped at my sister’s house in Vernal. Life is a completely different world for me at at her house. Between the 2 teenagers and the 2 babies there is never a dull moment. I am grateful for all the time I am able to spend with Devin. She has been my sister for nearly 28 years now but only my friend for about 2.
As I close this long boring post I want to leave you with a little quote that I read everyday and try to use.
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
Remember to check back because I am going to post a bunch of pictures from my trip and from our girl’s night. With love-Derin
