Back to the 80's!

On Friday the youth in our stake had a 70's and 80's themed dance in the downtown mall. Only a few of the leaders dressed up and got out there and boogied; I was one of them. I think I did pretty good with my 80's attire. I had some help from my friend Tiffany; She picked out the shoes. All I can say about those are ouch! I did NOT attempt to dance with them on; would have meant a trip to the ER I'm sure.

The youth had some pretty great outfits and it was fun to watch them dance and join in. I hit my limit after the cotton eyed joe! Who knew hanging out with teenagers could be so exhausting!!

We ( the leaders ) got a few funny looks as we sang Ghost Busters and tried our old dance moves, but it was fun. We kept trying to remember who sang all the songs they played.

Next time I hope to get Kirk to go with me, I told him I needed a chaperon and someone to dance with during the slow songs. We'll see how successful I am at convincing him to come!

I really do enjoy being with the youth even if they do wear me out!!!

Gray what?!!

So...I was looking at my hair this evening and saw what I thought was a blond hair. After a closer look I knew I couldn't deny the fact that this hair was in fact gray, not blond!! That's when I saw the second one!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Kirk was kind enough to look and point out a third, thanks sweet heart. And then he says "you'll look beautiful with gray in your hair."

Excuse me.....and who said I was going to go gray?! Call me vain, but I'm not ready to go gray yet. After all I'm so young....at least I still feel like I'm twenty something! It's not to the point that I would think of coloring it, you can't even see these 3 little hairs because of where I part my hair.

So that's my little sob story. Oh woe is me, whatever will I do. First glasses and now gray hair. What's next a cane or maybe false teeth!

Go ahead and have a good laugh at my gray hair woes. I know I am not the first nor will I be the last to discover her first gray hair. It is what it is, life! It's really not that bad it's just fun to to share!

A night away...

Kirk has been working on a new hotel at the Springs Resort over in Pagosa Springs for the past several months. They have a nice resort with many natural hot springs that you can soak in and a spa. For Valentine's Day he told me he had planned a special surprise, but we weren't able to make it that weekend.

So on Friday I left the kids with my newly married sister-in-law and her husband so I could meet him for my surprise. I had my suspicions and was excited to learn they were correct. Kirk had set up a couples massage for he and I and it was heavenly! Kirk enjoyed it so much he fell asleep. By the time it was finished we didn't want to climb in the car and make the 45 minute drive home, but we did. We left with a few goodies, including the nice comfy robe I'm wearing in the picture!

It was nice to be pampered and have no worries for the evening. Work has been pretty stressful and kept Kirk gone a lot so it was nice to see him be able to relax as well. As I said a few posts ago, he does drive me crazy sometimes and I may want to clobber him with anything I can find, but he is a sweetheart and getting better with age!

Favorite Song

This is one of my favorite songs. It's called "Angels in Waiting" and it's by the country singer Tammy Cochran. Her brothers died of cystic fibrosis. It reminds me of my little angels Mike and Emily. They are such special kiddos and have taught me a lot about patience and faith and enduring to the end!

Enjoy!
