One More Day!!!

Just one day left of work and we are headed away from civilization for...

  • 4 days
  • Just the 2 of us
  • Endless forest & mountains
  • Beautiful, challenging hiking trails
  • Streams with great trout fishing
  • Coooool weather (it was like 98 degrees here today, apparenltly. Days like this I am happy I don't see the sun)
  • Views of herds of elk
  • Delicious, fresh, meals cooked in foil over a hot camp fire
  • Smores
  • Cerveza
  • Cereal in the mini boxes. But not my normal raisin bran...this is my "Get Out of Jail Free Card" --and I eat "naughty" things like Frosted Flakes and Pops! (Helllooo it's camping!)
  • I. Love. The. White. Mountains. (AZ..not the ones by New Hampshire)

Have so much fun! And you can totally send the 98 degree weather here. I'll take that over the mid-40s with rain (which I am sure you'd gladly take, just when you aren't raining, as I know the heat gets old!)

Have a blast and be safe!

Sounds too good to be true! The 98 degree temps sound unbearable but I would love to feel 78! We just can't break 60! Rain last night but sunshine today! Oh, glorious sun! Have a wonderful mini-retreat!

Have fun! I love camping. We were out the first part of the week. Really, Abby, I can't call what we do camping anymore. This new Airstream is the bomb!

However, we did spend many years in a tent and loved it. We turned 40 and decided it was time to quit sleeping on the ground!!!

Someday we will travel to Arizona and see those mountains you talk about!

That sounds AWESOME! I love camping!! We are hoping to get away for a few camping trips this summer but it's hard right now because Eric works weekends! Me working Mon - Fri and him working Sat - Sun does not make our schedules conducive to camping (or doing anything together really!!!) Hopefully that will change in June, though!

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

Good things

I must say there are many good things I have to be happy about right now! I am in my psychiatric-mental health nursing rotation right now. I originally chose nursing as my major beause from the time I was like 12 I wanted to be a psych nurse. I love it so far. The clinicals are incredible. I am finding I am more organized and ahead of things in this class than I ever have been! Now, if I could be this motived with Critical Care and my Capstone this summer......:) Ryan and I got an entire day together yesterday!!!! This is rare. My spring break kind of sucked. He would leave at about 6 a.m., and not return until 8 p.m. The poor guy is spread too thin! So I cherish a day like yesterday! Which consisted of............. Spring Training baseball!!!!!! Diamondbacks vs. Oakland Atheletics. It was nearly a close-out. 10-1. We met his bosses wife at the game and she insisted we ditch our seats & sit in the seats in front of them that they had purchased . So we were FRONT ROW BEHIND HO...
