Still here

I always mean to blog but there's just no time.  In July I went back to work, I'm the Marketing Director for a national franchise that has about 200 residential property management offices.  It's a very intense job.  Even better, in October, David got his dream job doing criminal defense at a small, well-respected firm in downtown SLC.  It's busy and he has an intense schedule also. Kids are also busy, in school, doing after-school 4H club, Sophie's in a million plays and Ben is busy with trumpet and swimming.  Noah and Lucy are just going with the flow--although our "flow" is more like the Snake River's rapids in June.

Why am I blogging mid-day at work when I have ten hours of work to fit in the next 72 minutes?  Because our crazy hurricane-force winds yesterday were so exciting that Ben got on the news!  It is only 3 seconds at :39

All is well here, no damage or lost trees for us, but a day or so without power, a fun sleepover at my mom's for everyone last night, and a lot of yard clean up to do tomorrow (balanced with whatever work I don't finish today).  Love to family and friends far and near.  Here is my advance apology for not sending out Christmas cards this year, again.
